Latest post offers a potted summary of #diatom evolution: bit.ly/4f8y5Z4
"One needs no other justification for being a naturalist than that one enjoys it." Sometimes we are fortunate to have the friendship and encouragement of remarkable colleagues - Geoffrey Fryer’s impressive half century with @Basil0Saurus @freshwaterbio fba.org.uk/articles/geoff…
Latest post describes the diatoms of a hot spring in Tunisia: bit.ly/48unLYL. Also, I just want to let you know that I will be leaving Twitter in the near future, and will be advertising my blog on LinkedIn and, possibly, one or two other channels instead.
A return trip to #Tunisia in this post, talking about the #diatoms of the Oeud Mellègue, and reflecting on the challenges of managing transboundary #rivers: bit.ly/40jKKns

There is good news as @MichCJackson says but: i) there are distinct areas of deterioration linked to agricultural intensification sciencedirect.com/science/articl… ii) urban waters improved from the 1980s - but trends have stalled sciencedirect.com/science/articl… iii) Legacy and emerging…
Is pollution in England’s rivers really getting worse? There’s more good news than you might think | Michelle Jackson theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Beach-cast seagrass is a natural, though “untidy” component of Mediterranean coastal ecosystems .. more in my latest post: microscopesandmonsters.wordpress.com/2024/09/13/the…
latest post in my series on understanding why filamentous #algae are so prolific in our rivers describes an approach to rapid assessment suitable for citizen scientists: bit.ly/47zlUSl
Latest post in my series on why filamentous #algae thrive in our rivers: bit.ly/3XpMXvE. Comes complete with photos of my budding young field assistant (because, admit it, you're all bored of my photos of filamentous algae)
Celebrating Microscope Monday 🔬 with an exciting🌟NEW🌟 addition to the FBA shop! Be transported to the fascinating & beautiful world of microscopic #freshwateralgae! Freshwater Algae: Their microscopic world explored by Hilda Canter-Lund & John WG Lund fba.org.uk/shop/p/freshwa…
Latest paper just published, with @kezwalsh_env and colleagues from @EnvAgency and @UK_CEH demonstrates the long-term stability of diatom samples preserved for #metabarcoding: mbmg.pensoft.net/article/129227/
I've just uploaded the latest of my posts on why we see so much filamentous #algae in our #rivers here: bit.ly/4drIVbK. It is the only ecology podcast (as far as I know) with its own Spotify playlist: bit.ly/3WRG7xE
My latest post asks how the next generation of regulatory biologists will gain the wherewithal to identify algal growths such as this, as they become more and more reliant on metabarcoding: bit.ly/4deQRxa
New paper: How can citizen science restore public trust in environmental governance? One important take-home message is that acting on the data is important. Case in point: River pollution. We need to start acting on citizen science findings ASAP. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Make sure you sign up for the #GreatUKWaterBlitz in September! Free water quality testing kits, anyone can take part. You can also donate to help supply water testing kits for others at the same link. This has the potential to be HUGE for UK rivers! earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterbl…
