Salinity Variation Reshapes Macroinvertebrate Communities in Alpine Lakes

A research team from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how salinity variation is associated with the diversity, composition, functional traits, and assembly of macroinvertebrate communities in alpine lakes.
Expanded Germline Stem Cell Technology Overcomes Donor GSC Shortage in Zebrafish Surrogate Reproduction

A research group led by Prof. SUN Yonghua from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences established an expanded Germline Stem Cell (eGSC) technology that effectively solves the problem of stably obtaining donor GSCs for intraspecific surrogate reproduction.
Dark Diversity Offers New Insights into Freshwater Fish Invasions

Researchers introduced a dark diversity framework to address this question in freshwater fishes.
