As part of the CESAB-funded research team “Fooδ-webs” led by the excellent Julien Cucherousset (Université de Toulouse), Michelle Jackson (University of Oxford) and Julian Olden (University of Washington), we generated a worldwide estimator dor Carbon and Nitrogen stable isotope baselines for fresh waters. The paper is in press for Methods in Ecology and Evolution and the Git Repository already available.

The excellent ReProjecting Science had its November’s session on Quagga mussels’ colonization in Lakes, with the projection of the documentary ‘All too Clear : Beneath the surface of Great Lakes” (Inspired Planet Production) and a round-table with Dr Linda Haltiner (specialist in Quagga’s Ecology), Alexis Pochelon (ASL), Alexandra Hauret (Service des Eaux de Lausanne), Caroel Fonty (Alien Limited), hosted by Tomy and chaired by Marie Perga. A super-well attended session (over 120 people), and incredible organization (Thank you the Reprojecting Science team).

We have open positions (isotope specialist, Master’s internship, assistantship) within the quagga muffin project. Applications in December 2025 and January 2026. Check here.

Intersted in working on lakes physics or biogeochemistry. Available topics here.

Not one but two new papers on the drivers of planktonic communities in high-altitude lakes! Wonderful works led by Rocco Tiberti and Flavia Dory. Chech here.
