Temperature, metabolic rates, and the future of your lineage
We all know that during spring, when the light and temperature start to rise, life blooms everywhere. The increase in temperature during this season activates most organisms, especially ectotherms, also known as cold-blooded animals. In these animals, the relationship between metabolism and temperature is direct, usually following an exponential function. Examples of ectotherms are fish,…
What is cooking in our Lab?
Our group, in the Department of Marine Biology and Oceanography at the Institute of Marine Sciences, CSIC, Barcelona (Spain), has been conducting research on the ecology of marine zooplankton for several decades. Over the years, we have explored diverse topics, both in the field and in the laboratory. For instance, we have characterized planktonic food…
Harnessing the power of plankton: a revolutionary approach to industry
As we already know, plankton make up the base of the marine food chain and have vital roles in supporting marine ecosystems. In addition to these very important roles, recent scientific discoveries have revealed that plankton can also be of use for industrial applications, revolutionizing various industries and opening up new possibilities for sustainable and…
