Doctoral students Kacper Kawalski and Rafal Wild (Doctoral School of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Warsaw, Poland) stayed at the Sub-Department of Water Ecology (Department of Biology), as part of short-term academic mobility from 15 to 24 July 2026. The aim of the professional training was to acquire practical knowledge about the ecology of […]

In July 2026, field research was carried out as part of the project ‘Bioindicators and anthropogenic pressures in the water systems of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve’ (AQUA-BIOPRESS). The condition of water bodies and the dynamics of periphyton and plankton communities were monitored. Samples were also collected for further ex situ research to evaluate how polluting

On 15 June 2026, the ninth meeting was held as part of the project “Bioindicators and Anthropogenic Pressures in Aquatic Systems of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve” (AQUA-BIOPRESS). Prof. Tanja Žuna Pfeiffer chaired the meeting. The team discussed the field research conducted in May, planned further field and laboratory research for July, and noted that the

In June 2026, field research continued as part of the project “Bioindicators and Anthropogenic Pressures in Aquatic Systems of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve” (AQUA-BIOPRESS), funded by the European Union under the Next Generation EU programme. Research on environmental conditions and biotic communities was carried out on the Drava, Danube and Mura rivers, Lake Halaševo, Lake

Within the framework of the project “Bioindicators and Anthropogenic Pressures in Aquatic Systems of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve” (AQUA-BIOPRESS), laboratory research on the impact of polluting compounds on planktonic and periphytic communities has begun. The research is being conducted under controlled conditions in a growth chamber equipped with European Union funds from the Next Generation

On 15 May 2026, following the completion of field research, the eighth meeting of the team members of the project “Bioindicators and Anthropogenic Pressures in Aquatic Systems of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve” (AQUA-BIOPRESS) was held. The project is funded by the European Union under the Next Generation EU programme. The meeting addressed the field research

Field research within the project “Bioindicators and Anthropogenic Pressures in Aquatic Systems of the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve” (AQUA-BIOPRESS), funded by the European Union under the Next Generation EU programme, continued in May 2026. Project team members collected samples at six locations in the Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve, and sample analyses are ongoing in the laboratories of
