STOTEN is now dead. It has been completely removed from Web of Science mjl.clarivate.com/search-results
Warning to environmental scientists! 🧪🦑🌎🐟

The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere.

In our new review in WIREs WATER, we synthesize knowledge on ecosystem (dis)services, multifunctionality, and trade‐offs in urban ponds and highlight garden ponds as a specific subtype that deserves more attention

Urban Ponds and the Emerging Role of Garden Ponds: Ecosystem Services and Disservices, Multifunctionality, and Trade‐Offs
Urban ponds and garden ponds—a specific subset of the former, usually located in private gardens—are both typical examples of ponds in the urban landscape. They deliver multiple ecosystem services bu...

3/ Overcoming spatio-temporal constraints is important, because:
🔹 Restoration is a prolonged process which typically occurs at large spatial scales,
🔹 Connectivity is important in ecological recovery.

2/Mesocosms have mostly been used to quantify impacts of environmental threats, but there's largely untapped potential in using them to test solutions!

We explore the opportunities that mesocosms offer in providing controlled, realistic and replicable environments for investigating novel solutions.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

An Editor's Guide to Writing and Publishing Science
A good research paper is more than just a clear, concise, scientific expose. It is a document that needs to go beyond the science to attract attention. There are both strict and less definable norms f...

With @schneiderbea.bsky.social @csabavad.bsky.social @zsuzsimrton.bsky.social @hhuong152.bsky.social and others, we showed how connectivity loss affects metacommunities with results from a 4-month long mesocosm experiment just published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social !

Relative strength of drivers might differ for the structure of metacommunities and metapopulations within the same landscape 🔵🪁🔵
We have provided the first empirical evidence for this with Daphnia magna and Cladocera metacommunities! 🧬🧪🔬
