Ponds are developing nicely, and biology is picking up the pace!

We found that including nonlinearity improved 5/6 models while the inclusion of interactions improved 6/6 models! A huge thanks to @penkmar and @jaypiggott for helping with this project!

Excited to say that my first paper looking at nonlinearity and interactions in multiple stressor-response models is now available to view in @SpringerNature Environmental Monitoring and Assessment! Check it out at the link: rdcu.be/dWkhH

🌊Impact of land-use trumps some of the climate change stressors for stream #algae, with complex interactions & sediment a major culprit. Temporal patterns of stressors matter @penkmar @jaypiggott @AnnMarieKelly_2 @UCDSBES @TCD_NatSci besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Funded PhD with me @UCDSBES on ecological resilience in freshwater ecosystems, using outdoor pond mesocosms. Informal enquiries welcome. Please RT. findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

I’m really excited to share our new synthesis of 2,396 (!) multiple-stressor experiments conducted in freshwater ecosystems that’s just been published in @Ecology_Letters: doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

Delighted to share our new papers (led by Dr. Julia Hunn, not on Twitter) exploring the interactive effects of CO2, heatwaves, flow variability and sedimentation on river ecosystems (doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17… and doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…)

273 swim warnings last summer due to pollution (or potential) from sewage overflow, agriculture, dog 💩, algal blooms & faulty sewage connections. Closure orders⬆️ 25%🚫🏊‍♀️ Prior warnings⬆️20% 💩 Poor quality bathing⬆️ 66%🤮 We must address these issues! independent.ie/irish-news/rev…
