The Freshwater and Invasion Biology Laboratory (FIB Lab) research focus includes biodiversity, aquatic invasions and the ecology of Asian freshwater ecosystems
Urban odonates showing high feeding response at low prey density and size-selective predation can potentially be used as predators of mosquito larvae in urban environments. By @FIB_NUS alumni, Marcus Choo and Low Bi Wei, in collaboration with @RobinNgiam. https://t.co/tKdCSCXsUC
Macrophytes in turbid tropical lake mesocosms induced phytoplankton community shifts, demonstrating their potential for use in lake restoration in the tropics. New paper in @HYDR_Springer by @FIB_NUS alumni, @darsssim, @maxinemowe, @SYiluan, and others.

For just 0.1% of GDP each year we can solve the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis and prevent land degradation.
As a bonus, the world could also avoid the breakdown of natural ecosystem “services” such as clean water, food and flood protection. https://t.co/zBucHyaqFE
Some traits predicting establishment of nonnative freshwater fishes in Singapore reflect differences between tropical and temperate freshwater ecosystems. New paper in @plosone by @FIB_NUS alumni, @_JoleenChan and @yiwen1987.

New Research: The Use of Barriers to Limit the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Animal Species: A Global Review: Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the principal threats to freshwater biodiversity. Exclusion barriers are increasingly being used… https://t.co/pasMxd2TI9 #Ecology
Can rehabilitation change the urban river? @FIB_NUS Trophic Team found that both the abiotic parameters & fish community differs between the naturalized river & unrehabilitated canal sections, with higher richness & % of natives in the former. Read it at: https://t.co/66YecBkScZ
