🌞❄️ Article of the Day:
High-mountain Daphnia pulicaria from the tropical Andes face a double threat as warming and UV radiation together reduce survival despite their natural pigmentation defenses. This study shows that combined stressors, not single factors, shape the fate of these cold-adapted zooplankton.

Assessment of drinking-water quality in Indigenous communities of Santa
Victoria Este, Argentina
By Florencia Soledad Alvarez Dalinger, Carmen Alejandra Sabio y García, Verónica Laura Lozano, Jacqueline Bazzana, Cecilia Thomas, Isabel Reyes Diez, Juan Pearson, Ignacio Garzaró, Liliana Moraña & María Laura Sánchez
📃This research brief introduces an innovative project which aims to empower Indigenous communities in relation to access to safe water through: (1) the establishment of a local laboratory with the capacity to analyze microbiological, physical and chemical parameters of water, (2) the transfer capabilities to the local community to ensure long-term monitoring and (3) the assessment of the water quality in 34 communal wells.
💡INSIGHTS:
(1) Results of physical, chemical, and microbiological analyses show that 70.6% of the groundwater supplies are not safe for human consumption
(2) These analyses highlight the imperative need of water treatment and maintenance to ensure the quality of water in the local communities
