- 🦐 Lepidurus as a Model for Biological Rhythms? Vittorio Pasquali from Università del Salento, Italia presented his findings at @fblucph.bsky.social. 🔬 Highlights: #Lepidurus arcticus & couesii reveals strong patterns but #CircadianRhythms rhythm theories are challenged #Chronobiology

- Just arrived in #Qeqertarsuag to work at @arcticstationucph.bsky.social for a short while. Fascination to watch the vanishing sea ice and the fragmented snow cover on land. #Spring is setting in it seems. Look forward to team up with the lovely station staff and scientists visiting the station.
- Truly happy to be partner in one of the nine Arctic projects recently funded by #NordForsk. Our project: Arctic freshwater food systems - influence of warming winters and increased snow cover (FROST), will contribute to a sustainable development of the Arctic. www.nordforsk.org/news/major-i...
- A fishy day at #UNIS for the limnology class. Guest teacher @grimsruddavidsen.bsky.social taught about ecology and behavior of #Arctic_charr. Fascinating how this 🐟 species coop with living in the #Arctic. Students got hands-on experience with modern fish tracking equipment. @limnology.bsky.social
- Asked the UNIS #limnology_students to formulate #hypotheses about the effect of climate changes in Arctic lake food webs and to create doable in-situ experiments, that could provide answers. Creativity was high ranging from whole year mesocosms studies to fertilizing #lakes with goose droppings.
- Wash and fine-sieve mud from the bottom of an arctic lake and you´ll find head capsules of #Chironomid mosquito🦟 larvae. We did so at the #UNIS freshwater course with Simon Belle from #SLU. Some specimen were truly old (~200 y) but 100% intact and are part of a climate story. #Paleo_limnology
