Thanks so much to Dr. Catherine Febria Jonathan Tonkin Hamish Greig and Helen Warburton for helping produce this review re River ecosystem size. Long time in incubation... First discussed the need with Pete McHugh and Ross Thompson >10 years ago. It finally happened!

Huge congrats to Jonathan Tonkin, 2022 winner of the Te Puiaki Kaipūtaiao Maea | MacDiarmid emerging scientist prize. University of Canterbury, and especially University of Canterburyscience & University of Canterburybiology, are extremely proud of your ongoing great work for our under-threat ecosystems. pmscienceprizes.org.nz/2022-winner-of…

Reminder: fully funded PhD opportunity in our group University of Canterbury Opportunity to develop your own ideas within topics such as: keystone communities; community recovery; contexts in which biodiversity is decoupled from environmental variation.

Ecology of braided river terrestrial invertebrates @gusmci

We have an opening for a student to undertake doctoral research investigating the terrestrial invertebrate biodiversity of braided river floodplains.

Food-web dynamics of mixed introduced and native fish @gusmci

We are offering a doctoral research scholarship to investigate lake food-web dynamics of mixed introduced and native fish assemblages in lakes.

We have a PhD position available looking at lake food webs in the FishFutures research program here in NZ- Working in beautiful lakes with a multidisciplinary team! Working with Angus McIntosh at UC Science | Te Kaupeka Pūtaiao and me at Cawthron Institute canterbury.ac.nz/science/school…
Very happy to chat!

Please RT: I am seeking a PhD student to develop a project on stream metacommunity ecology. The student will join the Freshwater Research Group, at Uni of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. Potential colab with Jonathan Tonkin; Angus McIntosh, and others. Details tsiqueiralab.weebly.com

🐟 Are spatial or temporal connections in dynamic rivers systems your thing?
🦘 Keen to visit Brisbane, Australia for the joint (US, AU, NZ) Freshwater Sciences conference in June '23?

Consider submitting to the special session that I am organising with Jonathan Tonkin & Naomi S. Wells

I was honoured to receive the NZ Freshwater Science Medal at the joint NZ Freshwater & Marine Sciences Conference (Waiti Waita). Its really a testament to the many talented colleagues i have had the pleasure of working with and learning from! UC Science | Te Kaupeka Pūtaiao #UCNZbiology #UC_FERG

📢 New 📄 from Aotearoa. In partnership with Ngāi Tahu, we developed a demographic model to assist tangata tiaki (guardians) in their efforts to re-institute customary management of kakī anau (black swans), with focus on local egg harvests. 🧵 1/

How is your knowledge of freshwater insect anatomy and life histories? Try this new quiz youtu.be/p4Plfpx7uEl or try searching 'Quiz freshwater insects' Biology at UCNZ @UCNZScience @UCNZ #UC_FERG

@FinnbarLee Ā pretty confronting part of our history. Frustratingly, what trout anglers were likely observing was just a typical boom bust cycle that happens post introduction.

And many thanks to Dr. Chelsea Little for putting that together see: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Such cool eel research!!!! 😍

📢 funded PhD opportunity in freshwater ecology at University of Canterbury to look at the interactive effects of non-native fish and environmental conditions on galaxiid demography. Supervised by Angus McIntosh. More info here: canterbury.ac.nz/science/school…
