Pimp my #IAGLR2025 abstract title, it sucks:

I plan on running some P samples (water and periphyton) later this week! I'll put up some streamers by the analyzer 🥳
Are you excited as I am?

Congratulations to Olivera on this really nice paper! This paper was possible thanks to the wonderful AQUACOSM project which supported many transnational access days to collaborate with us using our unique mesocosm infrastructure.

Nutrient inversion but not warming drive changes in periphyton biomass and composition in shallow lake mesocosms
Periphyton plays an important functional role in shallow lakes and is sensitive to variation in nutrient availability and global warming. Understanding the responses of periphyton to changes in nutri...

I want to promote my undergrad researchers. These two students worked so hard on this project: We found that increases in periphyton w6 fatty acids were tied to road salt induced salinity! This has potentially negative consequences for higher trophic levels. bioone.org/journals/bio...

I wanted to share this study we conducted on periphyton colonization at the reach scale. We discussed functional guilds, metacommunity assemblage, and dispersal processes.
Understanding periphyton better is essential for developing effective river restoration strategies. I hope you agree!
