It was such a pleasure to attend #Cladocera2024 last week in Verbania 🇮🇹, 7 years after we last met in Kulmbach 🇩🇪 in 2017. Just a short thread showcasing some of my personal highlights (in no specific order):

Snails 🐚 are slow, but they can evolve fast! Our new paper shows how one ecotype evolved into another on a tiny island 🏝️ within 30 years - and that we could predict changes at the phenotypic, but also at the genetic 🧬 level. 1/3 #Evolution #Genomics science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Many thanks to @me_la_ester for accepting our invitation and visiting us yesterday at @uniinnsbruck ILIM in Mondsee - thank you for a very interesting talk on antimicrobial resistance in freshwater, followed by a great discussion! It was my & @moestmar pleasure to welcome you!

Happy to introduce Sea stack plots as an alternative to bar charts! What started as an interesting exchange here on X/Twitter, has now been published in Ecology and Evolution: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Amazing effort by @Bill_Sutherland, @BennoSimmons and especially @alice_stu_ !
Why don't we plot data sets as vertical histograms plus mean and error? Violin and beeswarm plots seem not as easy to read data. Unless already done (surely?) needs R code and, it seems, a clever name. My sketch is so bad the right hand histogram seems to have surrendered!

📣Join us on March 20th 2024 for the #EcologicalToolbox event, at which I will shortly present a really cool "tool" we are currently using in our lab (#Daphnia related, obviously 😉) Check the original post for the registration link 👇
We will be hosting a free online #EcologicalToolbox event on March 20th 2024 (13:00-14:00 CET)! During this event, ECRs will share tools that they regularly use in their ecological research and that might assist you in your own work! 💡Register here: shorturl.at/btwIW
