🚨🚨 New paper from my PhD is out in Freshwater Biology!
We tracked macroinvertebrate dispersal using stable isotopes and mesocosms — showing how disconnected pools act as refuges and stepping stones for community recovery.

How vulnerable are riparian trees to drought? Using groundwater and satellite data from a California waterhsed, our new paper found that trees by drying rivers lost up to 5 weeks of growing season, suggesting they’re nearing critical groundwater limits.

Groundwater and Remotely Sensed Phenology Reveal Vulnerability of Riparian Trees to Drought
We asked how vulnerable riparian trees are to droughts, examining their water use and growing season timing and duration via groundwater data and satellite imagery. Drought shortened the growing seas...

New paper out led by @josemaferca.bsky.social ! Using stable isotope enrichment, we tracked aerial dispersal in a temporary river. As drying intensifies, conserving pools as refuges will be essential to prevent biodiversity loss. Access OA paper here: doi.org/10.1111/fwb.... @biologiaub.bsky.social

🚨ALERTA ENTOMOLÓGICA 🐞

De la mano de @fercfossati.bsky.social y M. Méndez analizamos el declive de los expertos en insectos en España. Un colectivo clave, ya que sin él, no podremos conocer ni conservar nuestra biodiversidad!🔍🦋

No solo desaparecen los insectos, también los expertos que los estudian
Hoy, Fernando Cortés-Fossati y Marcos Méndez nos presentan un reciente trabajo donde documentan el declive de la comunidad española de expertos en insectos, disciplina que se conoce como entomologí…
