Hello! I'm Fabiana and my research focuses on investigating biodiversity patterns and processes in freshwater environments, with emphasis on benthic diatoms and invertebrates from the Pampa (grasslands) and Atlantic Forest biomes. I work as a Professor of Ecology at FURG, southernmost Brazil. 🧪🌎

"Goodall noted that the most successful chimp leaders were gentle, caring and familial. Males that tried to rule by asserting their dominance through violence, tyranny and threat did not last." An extraordinary scientist and human.
RIP Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall, the gentle disrupter whose research on chimpanzees redefined what it meant to be human
Without formal scientific training, Goodall upended the study of animal behavior. She also inspired countless people to protect nature.

🚨 RESPEITA O BRASIL!

Após uma campanha de Jair Bolsonaro e sua família, Trump anunciou tarifas de 50% na compra de produtos brasileiros por estadunidenses a partir de 1° de agosto.

Sim, Bolsonaro é corresponsável pela incerteza econômica que pode atingir famílias brasileiras. +👇🏽

Today I visited Iguaçu National Park, a Natural World Heritage Site. After 36 years, I was amazed once again by the wonderful Iguaçu Falls, the largest group of waterfalls in the world.

Wondering how to connect with folks with unexpected 13C data from stream consumers (i.e. more depleted than sampled OM sources) that might not be published/findable. Any suggestions on how to make these connections? Or is it you?! 👀

Global Diversity of Glacier-Fed Stream Microbiomes Under Threat !

👉 by @layeb.bsky.social et al.

🔑 Glacier-fed streams harbor unique microbiomes, 62% specific to mountain ranges. Retreating glaciers threaten this biodiversity and its role in mountain ecosystems.

Diversity and biogeography of the bacterial microbiome in glacier-fed streams - Nature
Leveraging metabarcoding and metagenomics, a survey of bacteria in the benthic microbiome across 152 glacier-fed streams (GFSs) provides a global reference for future climate-change microbiology studi...

A study of 2.9 million rivers worldwide reveals large shifts in global river flow patterns over the past 30 years. The results emphasize the critical yet changing role of upstream rivers in flood dynamics and the far-reaching consequences for both natural and human systems.
More flow upstream and less flow downstream: The changing form and function of global rivers
We mapped daily streamflow from 1984 to 2018 in approximately 2.9 million rivers to assess recent changes to global river systems. We found that river outlets were dominated by significant decreases in flow, whereas headwaters were 1.7 times more likely...

🌊 River people: a #rivers feed is up and running! bsky.app/profile/did:...

It draws on a "River people" list that combines +++starting packs on rivers but filters only posts with "rivers" or "#rivers" in the text.

In other words: posts from many river communities all in one place! Thx for sharing

Hello! I’m Pedro, and my research focuses on the role of semiaquatic mammals in dispersing seeds in wetland ecosystems. I study species like capybaras, coypus, and Neotropical otters, primarily in the Brazilian Pampa biome. Currently, I’m a PhD student at FURG, in southernmost Brazil.
