The findings will ultimately contribute to the protection of these endangered marine mammals. How is the dramatic decline in sea ice affecting biodiversity? The depths of the Weddell Sea are home to diverse biotic communities consisting of sponges, cold water corals, and countless other organisms. Small, but smart: How symbiotic bacteria adapt to big environmental changes Lucinid clams, inconspicuous inhabitants of the seafloor and one of the most diverse group of animals in the ocean, rely on symbiotic bacteria for their survival. Award for research into the deep biosphere How and what do microorganisms in deep-sea soils live on? How do their metabolic cycles work, and how do these communities interact? How heatwaves are affecting Arctic phytoplankton Experiments conducted at the AWIPEV Station in Svalbard on this increasingly common phenomenon Jellyfish may dominate the future Arctic Ocean New AWI study shows: jellyfish in the Arctic Ocean are profiting from climate change and spreading farther and farther north International network on epigenetics in fish Humboldt Fellow Professor Dr Maren Wellenreuther enriches marine ecology research at GEOMAR New Rhizobiadiatom symbiosis solves longstanding marine mystery Scientists have discovered a new partnership between a marine diatom and a bacterium. Marine bacteria team up to produce a vital vitamin Two species of marine bacteria from the North Sea have established an unusual and sometimes destructive relationship to produce the important vitamin B12. Fourth global coral bleaching event ZMT researcher Dr Sonia Bejarano observes the state of reefs in the eastern tropical Pacific Broad commitment to sustainable development and cooperation GEOMAR presented major research projects at the 2024 United Nations Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona Future Box Oceans available again The educational materials from Futurium and DAM provide a playful look at a sustainable future with the oceans / Workshops to try out starting in summer How eutrophication and climate change alter food webs in the Baltic Sea The eastern Baltic cod stock is in crisis since years. A conclusive explanation for this is still lacking New study warns: Global warming and invasive species threaten seagrass meadows in the Mediterranean Rising sea temperature and salinity in the Mediterranean and the immigration of invasive species could endanger its seagrass meadows Microbial comics: RNA as a common language, presented in extracellular speech-bubbles Decoding the conversations between microbes of hypersaline environments reveals deep insights into the origins of complex life.
