A new AWI study involving the ICM says that Antarctica could become a greener place in a few years and was colonised by new species from warmer areas because of climate change.

This is an experiment by the ICM, the UPC and the UAB at the OBSEA underwater observatory to see how the presence of the carcass affects the benthic and fish communities in the area.

A new study led by the ICM reveals that these episodes can lead to changes at the molecular level that affect the fish’s immune response, its reaction to external stimuli and its metabolism.

The institute ensures the protection of these animals through initiatives such as the citizen science platform Sea Watchers or the Catsharks association.

The model takes into account the changes that occur in the variables between the summer and winter months, which may have implications for future adaptive fisheries management at the seasonal level.

This Innovative Training Network, which has been coordinated by the ICM, aimed to explore the potential of single cell genomics approaches to study novel aspects of the ecology and evolution of microbial eukaryotes.
