Yet, the salinity tolerance of most inland fishes remains poorly understood. @mncn-csic.bsky.social @iea-udg.bsky.social @oldenfish.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

- 💽We compiled and analysed a global database to assess geographic and taxonomic biases in experimental salinity-tolerance research.
- 📊 Results show that experimental data exist for <1% of the world’s inland fishes, with major gaps in tropical regions and some species-rich orders (e.g. Siluriformes).

- 🐸Who knew tiny toads had such clever survival tricks? 📄A recent study in Spain uncovered a surprising behaviour in natterjack toadlets 🐝Toadlets were regularly found sheltering in small insect holes, especially during the hottest hours of the day 🔗: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
- 🐸Sometimes two toadlets even shared the same refuge 🛡️These insect holes may be essential shelters, protecting them from predators and extreme temperatures during their vulnerable first days on land
- ⬆️To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of young natterjack toads consistently using insect nests as shelters ✨A small discovery with big implications for understanding their early survival @ahegalicia.bsky.social

- 📈Using 308 time series (1957–2024) across three European seas, we found overall increases in taxonomic richness (+1.7%/yr), taxonomic diversity (+1.4%), and abundance (+2.7%).
- 🚫Recovery patterns weren’t uniform: 🔹 In the Western Mediterranean, gains occurred mainly between 1970–2000. 🔹 In the Baltic Sea, increases started around 1995—especially in wintering bird communities.

- The introduction of non-native species is a major driver of biodiversity loss, posing a growing threat to freshwater ecosystems globally. This includes two Asian fish species that have recently been detected outside their native range in Europe, North America and Australia.
- In this study, we evaluated the potential of the large-scale loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) and the dojo weatherloach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) to establish outside their native range, and address potential impacts on the threatened European weatherfish (Misgurnus fossilis).
