SponBIODIV’s main goal is to establish a sponge diversity and distribution baseline knowledge, as well as delivering tools to improve management and conservation of sponges across the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Investigating the effects of droughts on freshwater fish populations. The research project seeks to understand how individuals and groups of fish cope with severe droughts.
AEROSMIC studies the functional traits present in the aerial microbiota with long-range dispersal in the free troposphere using one of the largest long-term data sets available at a high mountain point above the boundary layer collected by our own group of investigation.
The research project studies the role of sponges in the marine silicon cycle, with emphasis on silicon production and turnover, and exploring possible biotechnological applications.
Fractionation of silicon isotopes using sponges for biotechnology.
This proposal aims to study the processes linked to life in groups (which we call sociality) in an ecological framework, assembling data (both laboratory and field) to theory.
The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a distributed research infrastructure (RI) working towards the digital unification of all European natural science assets under common conservation and access policies and practices to easily realize FAIR data.
The main objective is to combine artificial reefs based on the innovative Biorock technology with filter-feeding or suspension-feeding benthic organisms (e.g., sponges, ascidians, annelids, scleractinians, hydroidolines, bryozoans) to bioremediate coastal seabeds.
INTERACTOMA proposes computational approaches that exploit the co-occurrence of genes with known and unknown function and the environmental co-occurrence of different microbial species to generate hypotheses and prioritize future research objectives with ecological or biotechnological interest, using saline lakes and lakes as model systems. alpines, as well as the microbiome of animal and plant host species along climatic and geographic gradients.
Existing research on coastal blue carbon focuses primarily on carbon sequestration as plant biomass, while the mechanisms that control MOD export and the processes that transform dissolved organic matter (DOM) and recalcitrantly sequester it ( MODR) are largely little known.
