In a new paper, researchers from the Centre for Ocean Life explore the way behavioural traits can influence long-distance migration patterns of large organisms such as...

Is multi-trophic biodiversity leading to higher ecosystem functioning? Theoretical models simulating complex food webs can help identify mechanisms underlying ecosystem...

Ocean Life PhD-student Jérôme is currently on external stay at the University of California Santa Barbara.
13 DEC
The Centre's annual retreat took place on Møn 9-11 December to summarize the scientific success of 2019 and discuss future directions.
04 DEC
Why do species occur where they are found? Looking at the traits that species carry may provide the answer, since they determine in which type of environment and with which...
03 DEC
Understandings the conditions leading to fat plankton are therefore important, not only for understanding nutritious conditions of phytoplankton but for the function and...
27 NOV
In many shelf seas and coastal areas, benthic ecosystems are affected by bottom trawling disturbance and hypoxia (low oxygen concentrations). We developed a methodology...
24 OCT
We welcome new faces at the Centre for Ocean Life!
26 SEP
Using a game theoretic and mechanistic model, researchers from the Centre for Ocean Life showed how traits influencing predator-prey interactions shape the diel vertical...
02 SEP
Thomas Kiørboe, Professor of Ocean Ecology at DTU, receives research prize for his groundbreaking work.
28 AUG
Sea lice on salmon farms are controlled via treatments. Authorities mandate treatments when sea lice infections reach a given threshold. Using a bio-economic model, we...
01 AUG
A new theoretical approach makes it possible to model planktonic predator-prey interactions and quantify the effects of the encounter zone shape for both non-motile and...
10 JUL
While the planet experiences unprecedented human-induced biodiversity loss, from marine to terrestrial realms, and from microbes to large mammals, evidence that biodiversity...
13 JUN
A new theoretical model describes the trade-offs and physiological limits determining the body plan of planktonic filter feeders and explains why gelatinous plankton are...
02 MAY
We compiled 14 traits of 1700 marine fish species on three latitudinal gradients to facilitate large-scale studies on fish traits and functional diversity of fish communities...
29 APR
Diatoms contribute nearly half of the marine primary production. These microalgae differ from other phytoplankton groups in having a silicified cell wall, which is the...
01 MAR
Jellyfish are weird creatures that can reproduce in different modes both sexually and asexually. Similar functional strategies are also present in several other species...
25 FEB
Defense mechanisms are very common in unicellular plankton. A wide variety of these mechanisms (toxins, shell etc.) is observed and it is rather difficult to quantify the...
22 FEB
A mechanistic model of diatoms reveals a conundrum. The defining physical attributes of diatoms – their silica shell and their large central vacuole – give...
12 FEB
Increases in temperature increase enzymatic activity, so one expects growth to also increase. However, this is not always the case. We show that when organisms are resource...
