"In memoriam" – Josefina Castellví (1935–2026)
Pioneer of Antarctic research, brilliant microbiologist, and passionate science communicator.
Thank you for your contribution to science and for inspiring us to explore, and protect our planet. 🌍❄️
What do SIBECOLogist do? As part of her PhD thesis, Lucía Cabello Alemán (@lcabelloaleman.bsky.social) et al. analyse denitrification controls in aquatic ecosystems, revealing a strong influence of land use and biogeoclimatic conditions on N cycling in headwater streams. sibecol.org/es/review_ca...
Happy Holidays! A new year for discovery and ecosystem conservation 🌍
What do SIBECOLogist do?
Paloma Ruiz Benito, Antonio Gazol Burgos, Miguel A. Zavala et al. tell us about the IB-ForRes project, a pioneering initiative aimed at understanding & anticipating the effects of climate change on Spanish forests

Ana Leitão & Raquel Ponti, from CIBIO-BIOPOLIS, will investigate bird evolution in insular environments. Their SIBECOL-funded project explores how reduced predation & stable climates shape sexual dimorphism in endemic species. @anavleitao.bsky.social @raquelponti.bsky.social #evolution #birdresearch
The ECR project MicroFlux led by @nestor-arandia.bsky.social aims to explore how microorganisms living in coastal aquifers influence the chemistry of groundwater discharging into the sea, aiming to shed light on the role of coastal aquifers as attenuators of nitrogen pollution to the coastal ocean.
We are thrilled to announce the awardees of the 2025 SIBECOL Early Career Research Projects! 🏆
These projects aim to support emerging ecologists, fostering collaboration and promoting interdisciplinary research in Ecology. 🌱🌍
Congratulations!

We reaffirm our commitment to advancing ecological science through collaboration, inclusion, and the support of the next generation of researchers.
Empowering ECRs is at the heart of our mission, fostering scientific excellence, and a strong, connected ecological community.
Furthermore, we witnessed the presentations of our two SIBECOL ECR grant awardees, Carlota R. Gazulla and Rocío Mozo.
Their work showcased the strong future of microbial ecology research! 🌊🧬
Congratulations!👏

Elizabeth was beneficiary of an ECR grant from AEET-SIBECOL, which helped her developed this project.
@eleonpalmero.bsky.social et al. just uncovered a sunlight-driven process that makes nitrous oxide in surface waters without microbial action! It’s called photochemodenitrification☀️💨

💚✨ Thank you.
After an intense, inspiring and unforgettable week, the III SIBECOL & XVII AEET Meeting comes to an end — and yes, we’re already feeling nostalgic.
🎉Closing with emotion🎉
Our final full day was filled with powerful sessions, reflections, and a moving closing ceremony. We wrapped it all up with music, smiles, and the joy of having been part of something big.
Thank you for being here 💚
