The swimming sperm cell reminds us of our aquatic ancestors: the flagellates. While the sperm cell uses its flagellum solely for propulsion, flagellates use their flagellum also for foraging, making them the most important predators on bacteria and picophytoplankton in the ocean. A new review explores the fluid mechanics of predation in a microbial world.]]>Tue, 18 Jul 2023 10:41:42 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=1f25dd20-ac99-4020-9987-cb079ff30a24https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=808c8a1c-b065-4870-9b86-8cb0c052fa4d

Copepods are among the most common multicellular organisms on earth and feed on a wide variety of prey. When capturing food, they have to briefly handle it before they can ingest it. However, not much is known about how the handling time impact copepod feeding efficiency. ]]>Tue, 14 Feb 2023 08:40:13 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=2af8170c-4dd3-444e-a464-1df53756d932https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=05e00e65-c7d6-4aec-94e8-4e3965179b34
Ecosystems are complex machineries, and our ability to predict how multiple drivers and environmental forcing structure communities are limited. One way to represent and understand organisms, communities and ecosystems is to think in terms of 'traits' rather than species, and how the dominant traits emerge in an evolutionary and ecological process from fundamental trade-offs. If we can identify and quantify the tradeoffs between traits, we may have a tool for predicting trait distributions in nature now and in the future. This workshop is the 6th edition of 'Trait-based approaches to Ocean Life', and now returns to Copenhagen, where the first workshop took place in 2013.   Venue: The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Copenhagen, Denmark]]>Thu, 12 Jan 2023 09:59:23 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=05e00e65-c7d6-4aec-94e8-4e3965179b34https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=7008b06d-9d08-45ca-9be3-aa8725404244
Swimming microorganisms move as they please, and it requires patience to observe their appendage motions, swimming kinematics, and the resulting flows.

Diatoms are one of the most diverse groups of phytoplankton in the ocean. One reason for this high diversity is the evolution of multiple defence mechanisms and subsequent evolution of grazer “counter measures”. In a new study, we describe the discovery of yet another defence mechanism: when exposed to chemical cues from copepods several species become “sticky” and form rapidly sinking aggregates, allowing cells to hide in the sediment until growth conditions again become favourable.  ]]>Mon, 26 Sep 2022 16:40:20 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=8201c62b-9b6e-46ea-ae4c-032124bb970bhttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=d8594d50-e6e5-49b7-9ec2-a007e8ce6bc5
Ambush-feeding copepods passively wait for its prey and capture them by a fast surprise attack. The copepods sense the hydromechanical signals generated by their motile prey. However, the ambush feeding copepod Apocyclops royi can be sustained on a diet of Baker’s yeast, which are small, non-motile cells. We asked how this ambush-feeding copepod can live on a small, non-motile cell. ]]>Wed, 07 Sep 2022 09:45:36 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=d8594d50-e6e5-49b7-9ec2-a007e8ce6bc5https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=79e7b0ac-84e1-4ded-9bae-826626eb0a6c
Flagellates live in a small-scale environment where viscosity impedes contact with their bacterial prey. Most flagellates use the active waving motion of a flexible flagellum with hairs to generate a feeding current. The presence of hairs significantly increases the force generated by the flagellum and also reverses its direction, hence producing an efficient feeding current coming towards the flagellate. A recent paper from the Centre describes the underlying mechanism of the force production in hairy flagellates.]]>Thu, 14 Jul 2022 13:32:11 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=79e7b0ac-84e1-4ded-9bae-826626eb0a6chttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=76e69ba5-b83f-4806-9731-a5261c677da0
Many species of phytoplankton release toxins that combat competitors and predators. It has long puzzled researchers how such ‘public good’ toxicity has evolved, because mutant ‘cheaters’ that do not pay the cost of toxin production would benefit equally from the toxicity and thus outcompete the toxin producers. In a new study we describe how toxins as a public good may evolve.]]>Wed, 22 Jun 2022 13:03:44 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=76e69ba5-b83f-4806-9731-a5261c677da0https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=13bc3553-f840-42e8-94fc-2402604006bd
In the oceans, a nearly constant biomass of organisms is found in equal log- intervals of body-size. This large-scale regularity is referred to as the size spectrum. In this new modelling study, we find that parameters of the size spectrum correlate strongly with the export and export efficiency of particles into the deep ocean. These parameters performed better than other commonly used export predictors such as temperature or primary production.]]>Thu, 05 May 2022 10:10:07 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=13bc3553-f840-42e8-94fc-2402604006bdhttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=e725a5d2-d72e-4693-a056-ce0e72bec80e
Despite living in a micro-scale world governed by viscosity, heterotrophic nanoflagellates are able to clear great volumes of water for prey by creating feeding flows with their flagellum. A new study from the Centre describes how flagellates with different feeding strategies overcome the impeding effect of viscosity, and provides a mechanistic underpinning of observed functional responses.]]>Fri, 29 Apr 2022 12:58:52 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=e725a5d2-d72e-4693-a056-ce0e72bec80ehttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=693836e9-3a70-4905-9db7-c8471b674d9e
The deep-sea glass sponge Euplectella aspergillum is well known due to its beautiful lattice-work structure, and has attracted interest in its solid and fluid mechanical properties. In a recent paper, we argue that including sponge tissue is key in understanding the hydrodynamics of these beautiful animals, and an analysis of their hydrodynamics where the true dimensions and flow resistance of the sponge aquiferous system are omitted is not informative about the flow patterns inside the sponge and thus about the sponge biology.]]>Fri, 22 Apr 2022 13:20:22 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=693836e9-3a70-4905-9db7-c8471b674d9ehttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=b93330c7-868e-4b5e-9679-681d74793f76
The bloom-forming diatom Pseudo-nitzschia produces a potent neurotoxin, domoic acid, that may cause closure of fisheries. The reason for its production has long been under debate. In a new study (in collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Denmark) we demonstrate a ‘private-good’ benefit to producing the toxins as toxic cells are more frequently rejected by grazing copepods. However, the production of toxins comes at a cost to the cells in terms of reduced growth rate. ]]>Wed, 13 Apr 2022 11:57:42 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=b93330c7-868e-4b5e-9679-681d74793f76https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=ac3253e9-c297-43e9-84c8-7910fa513a8d
Phytoplankton employ a wide variety of defense against grazers, and rely on chemical cues to assess the current grazing pressure. However, these signals are potentially vulnerable to environmental change, such as ocean acidification.

The Metabolic Theory of Ecology states from scaling laws that population-level properties – maximum population growth rate—scales with a -1/4 exponent with size. However, this prediction rests on the assumption that adult and offspring size are proportional. We developed a new theory in The American Naturalist predicting maximum population growth rate from life histories traits. We show that groups with a constant offspring size do not obey the -1/4 prediction.]]>Tue, 08 Mar 2022 11:12:00 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=0836b6ab-c2cb-4d57-b000-d86c7713c5d4https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=4be02489-2a84-4b02-909e-bbbd6f4fcbce
The diatom frustule has been shown to provide protection against grazing copepods, but the mechanisms behind the defense is unknown.

In most organisms foraging implies elevated exposure to predators. Such foraging trade-offs are universal and are main determinants of the structure and function of ecosystems. Yet, in few organisms have such trade-offs been quantified.

Today’s advice for fisheries management uses the venerable “Beverton-Holt” theory of fish demography. The theory describes the abundance of fish of different ages and how fishing distorts this age-distribution. In the “Center for Ocean Life” we have developed a modern alternative theory, which describes the abundance of fish at different sizes instead of different ages. And there are good reasons for doing so.]]>Mon, 16 Nov 2020 10:13:42 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=3afd4bed-6278-4844-b591-870de9cefb7ehttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=a05c947f-1add-40c3-8ddd-f7afa28319e3
One of the most conspicuous features over much of the world’s oceans is the seasonal variation in environmental conditions (e.g. light, temperature, nutrients, food). In this new article from a large team of Ocean Life members (past and present), we seek to uncover patterns in life history strategies that marine organisms adopt to deal with these annual variations. ]]>Mon, 09 Nov 2020 08:44:40 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=a05c947f-1add-40c3-8ddd-f7afa28319e3https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=87fbb90b-3154-4987-a747-081b1e6e3407
Three PhD students at the Ocean Life Centre will defend their dissertations in the coming weeks giving us all something to look forward to as 2020 draws to a close. ]]>Fri, 30 Oct 2020 12:44:34 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=87fbb90b-3154-4987-a747-081b1e6e3407https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=5c6e3859-4bcc-48a0-8003-aa04bdaf8593
Marine fish are rapidly shifting their spatial distributions under climate change across the globe. Building the capacity to track species range shifts is essential for improving the management of impacted resources. How can this be achieved?]]>Tue, 20 Oct 2020 08:50:18 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=5c6e3859-4bcc-48a0-8003-aa04bdaf8593https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=e9c942f4-9a08-4298-83ab-a8932ca0f818
Large-scale climate change projections of fish generally assume that warming waters enhance fish growth. If correct, tropical fish should grow much faster than temperate and boreal fish. But do they? ]]>Fri, 25 Sep 2020 14:35:12 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=e9c942f4-9a08-4298-83ab-a8932ca0f818https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=5e20d2e1-3e1f-44c1-aeb4-ba13247df0ed
Biodiversity is governed by organismal trade-offs, but a commonly assumed trade-off, the gleaner-exploiter trade-off, does not exist. This is demonstrated in a new paper published online today in PNAS analyzing data from more than 500 species, aquatic and terrestrial, and from single celled organisms to birds and mammals.]]>Thu, 24 Sep 2020 09:54:09 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=5e20d2e1-3e1f-44c1-aeb4-ba13247df0edhttps://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=54585f22-2f0e-4b0d-80d8-fa25765e5378

With over 30,000 species, fishes are the most abundant and diverse vertebrates on the planet. This new edition of the textbook ‘The Physiology of Fishes’ explores and explains how fish work, how they adapt and thrive in such a wide range of habitats on earth, and how global change may affect their continued success. Dr Tommy Norin, a researcher at the Centre for Ocean Life, has contributed with a chapter on fish metabolism.]]>Thu, 27 Aug 2020 14:37:20 +0200https://www.oceanlifecentre.dk/news/nyhed?id=976c508a-24cc-4174-93f5-895b148c984b
