Earth’s most abundant photosynthetic microbe, the phytoplankton species 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴, has a heat ceiling.

Field data show growth peaks near 28°C, then drops. Models project 17–51% less tropical production by 2100, threatening food webs that depend on it.
Rising Ocean Temperatures Threaten Key Marine Microbe Prochlorococcus
Among the ocean’s smallest and most vital inhabitants resides a single-celled microbe known as Prochlorococcus. This cyanobacterium, often dubbed blue-green algae, represents one of the most a

📍Fieldwork day in #ALLIES project: post-breeding colony check.

No gulls remained, but we recovered the GPS from a yellow-legged gull tagged in June that sadly died.

We keep monitoring environmental health to better understand urban ecosystem dynamics 🌍🩺.

Quan ajuntes narcisisme + incultura + manca dels mínims valors + manca d'empatia + ambició, i ho transformes en política, en un context d'inseguretat i desorientació... Què pot sortir malament si el teu projecte no és clar? (Reflexions després d'escoltar un discurs de 50 minuts del president d'EEUU)

The @wto.org’s Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies has entered into force 👏

Billions of dollars have long propped up unsustainable fishing practices that are pushing fish populations to the brink of collapse. This agreement is a critical step towards curtailing overfishing & illegal fishing globally.

🧵 Did you know gulls can carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria?

We studied whether this “silent infection” affects their movement. Do they travel less? Use different habitats? 🧬🌍
