We identify three major areas where change is possible:
1. Rethinking research evaluation
2️. Strengthening training & mentorship
3️. Reducing and recognizing administrative tasks

Why do so many ecologists share common feelings of disconnection between their research goals and real-world impact? 🌍

Our new article in #FE&E explores the constraints that limit ecological research and how we can mitigate them. 👇

Overcoming barriers that limit the impact of ecological research
Ecology and conservation researchers have diverse goals that often include both personal career aspirations and desires to enhance the well-being of the natural world and its inhabitants. Perception ....

¿Cómo se encuentra actualmente la investigación y gestión de especies exóticas invasoras (EEI) en España? Lejos de mitigarse, el problema de las EEI no deja de agravarse. Castro-Díez et al. analizan en profundidad los avances realizados en España en este ámbito durante la última década.

Thrilled to share our new article published in Hydrobiologia!🎉

We found that hydrological connectivity, rather than pond age, was the key driver of community assembly in coastal ponds.

Many thanks to the co-authors🙌🏻

The experiment also demonstrated that the interspecific effects of mosquitofish on toothcarp were more important than those of intraspecific competition. The invasive species produced effects on population growth rate, size structure, and fish condition (mass-length relationship) of toothcarp.
Figure 5. Violin plots with the kernel probability densities of the total length of toothcarp (A) and mosquitofish (B) by sex at the start (30 May 2022) and the end (14 July) of the experiment. The six treatments were: toothcarp at low density (T_low); mosquitofish at low density (M_low); toothcarp at high density (T_high); mosquitofish at high density (M_high); toothcarp and mosquitofish at high densities together (Mixed); and toothcarp and mosquitofish at high densities separated with a net (Net).

The diversity of effects of mosquitofish underscores the difficulty of predicting the impact of #bioinvasions. We further provide an approach to differentiate the effects of resource competition from other more direct ecological interactions & so to clarify the impact mechanism of #bioinvasions. 🌎
Figure 6. Relationship between total mass and total length (condition) for toothcarp at the end of the experiment by treatment and sex. The linear regression functions are shown. The six treatments were: toothcarp at low density (T_low); mosquitofish at low density (M_low); toothcarp at high density (T_high); mosquitofish at high density (M_high); toothcarp and mosquitofish at high densities together (Mixed); and toothcarp and mosquitofish at high densities separated with a net (Net).

How is soil functioning shaped by aridity? 🌲🌵 We studied this along a natural aridity gradient.

📌 Microbial structure shifted with aridity, but soil functions were mainly driven by local soil properties.
