#LEAP was built to do experimental evolution with aquatic ecosystems

Our research @LEAP_sci is gathering evidence that #glyphosate (aka RoundUp) impacts freshwater ecosystems - even when used according to guidelines.

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

[LEAP @LEAP_sci]

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.

Prior exposure to stress allows the maintenance of an ecosystem cycle following severe acidification

Thrilled to share our latest LEAP publication ⬇️

Congratulations to @sofiavanmoorsel , the coauthors, and the fantastic field crew.

[LEAP @LEAP_sci]

@MP_Heb Well done @MP_Heb and the gang.

Another piece of important science from @LEAP_sci about the impacts of agrochemicals on freshwater ecosystems

[Andy Gonzalez @bio_diverse]

Out now in @NatureEcoEvo :
Community rescue in phytoplankton communities following severe glyphosate pollution - biomass recovered but diversity was lost.

A big experiment at @LEAP_sci lead by @V_Fugere and many collaborators.

@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

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

[Andy Gonzalez @bio_diverse]

“Trophic structure modulates community rescue following acidification” our first @LEAP_sci publication led by Graham Bell and @V_Fugere out soon in @RSocPublishing

"99 percent of 68 water samples collected from the large water system contained at least one of the 10 pesticides researchers tested for and 31 percent of the samples contained neonicotinoids at levels higher than Canada allows"

@LEAP_sci just joined MESOCOSM https://t.co/VnhNphoUDb 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.

[Andy Gonzalez @bio_diverse]

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.

[Andy Gonzalez @bio_diverse]

@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

[Marie-Pier Hébert @MP_Heb]

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.

Katie Millette describes the @LEAP_sci 2017 experiment where she developed eDNA and eRNA methods to track #biodiversity change during the selection for resistance to acidification #MEES

[Andy Gonzalez @bio_diverse]

@nbcosta @LEAP_sci results shown off by @bjesseshapiro at #MEES - very cool evidence of picoplankton community reorganization in response to pesticides #neonic #glyphosate

@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 https://t.co/HmHCJRyDml
