Living at the small scale – New paper

Microscopic aquatic organisms live in a non-intuitive ‘sticky’ world dominated by viscosity. The way that larger organisms swim does not function in this small-scale world...

Thermal traits of fish eggs indicate vulnerability of different species and stocks...

We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate and compare responses of development time, cumulative degree-days and survival of fish eggs from 32 populations of 17 species...

Modeling succession of key resource-harvesting traits of mixotrophic plankton...

New study from the Centre for Ocean Life shows the succession of three key resource-harvesting traits: photosynthesis, phagotrophy and inorganic nutrient uptake predicting...

New Ocean Life paper shows the fisheries efficiency in five large marine ecosystems

In a new paper in Fish and Fisheries Ocean life researchers investigate the efficiency of fishing in large marine ecosystems in Europe, Africa and North America.  They...

Small bugs with a big impact – New paper and report from two ASLO session on linking...

A new paper and a report from two ASLO sessions disuss the links between ecology and behavior of plankton and large scale oceanic processes, and how these links are important...

Shark vs Teleosts
15 AUG

Differences in density dependence drive dual offspring size strategies in fish...

New study from the Centre for Ocean Life show how the huge differences in offspring size between sharks and bony fish can be explained by differences in early life density...

New paper shows the importance of allelochemicals promoting biodiversity

In a new Ocean Life paper, we show how allelochemicals released by toxic phytoplankton helps in the coexistence of more phytoplankton species than the number of limiting...

Life history theory reveals trade-offs reproductive traits across fish species

In a new Ocean Life paper, we examine life history traits of fish, and find a consistent empirical relationship between size at maturity, fecundity and spawning type...

Demonstrating remarkable physiological control over stolen chloroplasts
01 JUN

New paper demonstrates remarkable physiological control over stolen chloroplasts...

This is the first evidence that organisms with stolen chloroplasts (kleptochloroplasts) can have significant control over the physiological state and ‘health’ of their...
