18:00 - PUBLIC LECTURE - Conservation of Highly Migratory Marine Species: The Need to Integrate Physiology, Behavior and Ecology : Oceans Institute Public Lecture by Daniel Costa More Information
The conservation of upper trophic level marine vertebrates presents some unique challenges in that they can migrate over great distances, in some cases covering entire ocean basins. A critical component to their conservation is to assess their home range. However, this is only a first step, as (...)

13:00 - SEMINAR - "The ups and downs of buoyancy control in sharks and rays; a view from ecology and evolution." : Animal Biology Seminar. More Information
Mid-water environments represent the largest habitable space on our planet, yet early vertebrate life evolved near the seabed of shallow seas. In order for early fishes to efficiently swim off the seabed and exploit pelagic environments, mechanisms to reduce submerged weight had to evolve. In (...)

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 (...)

Wednesday 01
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 (...)
