12:00 - SEMINAR - The Biodiversity and Evolutionary Ecology of Myctophidae. : Animal Biology Seminar
|
More Information
|
Lanternfishes of the family Myctophidae inhabit depths of 200-1000m, are some of the most abundant fishes in the global oceans and are central to pelagic food webs. However, the deep pelagic remains the least explored of all marine environments and as a result comparatively little is known about (...)

14:00 - SEMINAR - Predicting the effects of ocean acidification on macroalgae
|
More Information
|
Ocean acidification is the sustained absorption of anthropogenically derived carbon dioxide (CO2) by surface seawater. Increasing CO2 concentrations shift the carbonate chemistry of seawater by reducing pH and carbonate, and by increasing dissolved inorganic carbon and bicarbonate. Macroalgae are (...)
