The islands Kermadec Islands are virtually unexplored. To document its biodiversity, collabs have been set up between scientists, historians and videographers. The amount of data on the reefs is enormous, but beware of the bias this implies.
How are fish fossils formed and what do they tell us? An extremely rich article introduces us to taphonomy: the study of the processes from death to fossilization of living beings.
Vetulicola is a small aquatic animal from the Cambrian period, whose fossil records are of great interest to scientists. Studying them helps us to better understand past ecosystems and to better predict changes in of the following ecosystems.
Studies of fossils sometimes reveal spectacular results. Here, the sequencing of the proteins contained in coral skeletons has been established with great precision.
Living things depend on water, but it breaks down DNA and other key molecules. So how did the first cells on Earth deal with the water paradox? water paradox? Here are some answers...
The study of cephalopod eyes could lead to huge advances in biophotonics and bio-engineering.engineering. Once again, marine biodiversity is a fantastic source of inspiration and knowledge.
This article shows how the bodies of certain marine animals (especially worms) have been undergone depending on the environment they occupy and their way of life.
This study shows that squids radiated after the Late Cretaceous and that major biogeographic events may have shaped their distribution and speciation.
Dark patterns give seabirds a surprising advantage. Dark feathers absorb more heat, which improves flight efficiency in some seabirds.
The many temperature changes of past geological eras are responsible for our planet's current climate. This article shows how the Pole the climate of the Mediterranean.
Numerous targets have been set for coastal cities to protect the ocean by 2020. Very few have been met. However, the efforts that have been made can be seen locally in the Ocean, and in some cases show an improvement.
This article shows how algal clusters have enabled numerous species to disperse from island to island, continent to continent, through a "rafting" effect, creating today's biodiversity.
Through an albedo phenomenon, floating algae such as sargassum could have a significant effect on climate change. These studies are being carried out with a view torevegetation"of the ocean.
Researchers have highlighted the ability of sea cucumbers to generate toxic compounds and compounds that enable them to avoid poisoning themselves.
