I'm so happy that this study found a home at @ESAApplications ! Special thanks to @LEAP_sci collaborators and shout outs to stellar ECR coauthors @V_Fugere and @nbcosta
Now online in @ESAApplications: Widespread agrochemicals differentially affect zooplankton biomass and community structure With #OpenData in @figshare #AgriculturalPollution #WaterQuality #Zooplankton @MP_Heb @LEAP_sci doi.org/10.1002/eap.2423

The latest publications (they come twos!) from #LEAP are out! They are about the impacts of Round Up on aquatic microbes and zooplankton. Congratulations to @nbcosta and @MP_Heb for leading such great research.

Out now in @NatureEcoEvo : Community rescue in phytoplankton communities following severe glyphosate pollution - biomass recovered but diversity was lost. Full-text access: rdcu.be/b2pho A big experiment at @LEAP_sci lead by @V_Fugere and many collaborators.

Researchers from #McGill find #glyphosate-based herbicides are contaminating lakes and harming biodiversity, making ecosystems more vulnerable to pollution and #climatechange. @bio_diverse mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/…

@LEAP_sci now up on “mesocosm” the open virtual network of aquatic mesocosm facilities worldwide. You can check out the others in 🇨🇦 including the in-lake mesocosm we have @info_gault mesocosm.eu/mesocosm/large-e…

Our first data paper from @LEAP_sci 2017 is out in @RSocPublishing - Trophic structure modulates community rescue following acidification. Fantastic team of scientists Graham Bell @V_Fugere @TrixieBB @bjesseshapiro @RowanBarrett Melania Cristescu Gregor Fussmann @BioMcGill

@LEAP_sci just joined MESOCOSM mesocosm.eu a hub for information about mesocosm facilities worldwide provided by the MESOAQUA project. As in astronomy, when telescopes are networked, we can combine forces to better study global drivers of aquatic ecosystems.

How do we assess the stability of evolving communities? @sofiavanmoorsel used wavelets on DO data from @LEAP_sci 2018 pH stress to reveal the shifting structure of multiscale variability before, during and after pH stress. #gonzalezlab #csbq2018

@jnmarleau #gonzalezlab shows that we CAN predict the dynamics of plankton communities in response to pH stress in @LEAP_sci if we include temperature dependence of metabolic functions AND the variability of the temperature the mesocosms experienced #CSBQ2018

Our most recent work is now out in @ESAFrontiers. Have you ever considered #pesticides as a source of #phosphorus in agricultural watersheds? We quantified the supply of P derived from #Roundup #glyphosate use globally and across the US. @V_Fugere @bio_diverse @GRIL_Limnologie
You've probably heard a lot about nutrient pollution from fertilizers. A new paper now suggests that the herbicide #glyphosate may be an overlooked contributor to phosphorus loading in agricultural landscapes. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wi… #Roundup #eutrophication

@V_Fugere tells #MEES about the first @LEAP_sci experiment where we found rapid increase in community resistance to #glyphosate selection in phytoplankton. Check out the paper on @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/early/20…

Our first experiment @LEAP_sci is up on #bioRxiv : Community rescue in experimental phytoplankton communities facing severe herbicide pollution. biorxiv.org/content/early/20… We showed the eco-evolutionary responses to the herbicide #glyphosate
