Climate‐Driven Warming Disrupts the Symbiosis of Bobtail Squid Euprymna scolopes and the Luminous Bacterium Vibrio fischeri This project aimed to study the impact of high temperatures on the interaction (symbiosis) between the Hawaiian bobtail squid and its light-emitting bacterial partner. We discovered decreased hatchin...

Rui Rosa has been nominated Speciality Chief Editor na Frontiers in Marine Science – section Marine Biology.

Marine Biology Marine biology covers the life of organisms, including bacteria, plants and animals, found in the sea. Marine organisms are found on the surface of the water right through to the deepest depths of the oceans. The habitats in which they are found are vast including rocky and coral reefs, seamounts an...

Os investigadores do MARE Marisa Vedor e Rui Rosa, em estreita colaboração com investigadores do CIBIO/InBIO - Universidade do Porto e da Universidade de Southampton, publicaram recentemente o artigo " Oceanic Diel Vertical Movement Patterns of Blue Sharks Vary With Water Temperature and Productivity to Change Vulnerability to Fishing” na revista Frontiers in Marine Sciences. O estudo demonstra que os tubarões azuís estão mais vulneráveis à pesca durante os períodos de lua cheia e em zonas epipelágicas com maior produtividade.

Oceanic Diel Vertical Movement Patterns of Blue Sharks Vary With Water Temperature and Productivity to Change Vulnerability to Fishing In the pelagic environment diel vertical movements (DVM) are widespread across taxa, from zooplankton ascending from day-time depths into surface layers at night to avoid visual predators, to apex predators following prey movements to maximise foraging opportunities. The drivers of DVM in large pred...
