New Publication in Ecology Letters

In a new publication in Ecology Letters researchers from 90 scientific institutions worldwide have stated that freshwater biodiversity research and conservation lag far behind the efforts carried out in terrestrial and marine environments. They propose a research agenda with 15 priorities aimed at improving research on biodiversity in lakes, rivers, ponds and wetlands. This is urgently needed, as biodiversity loss is taking place much faster in inland waters than on land or in the oceans. One of the authors is Prof. Frank Suhling of Institute of Geoecology of TU Braunschweig.
