​More than just a shell!
​Our new research shows these #mussel #holobionts are actually net #CO₂ sinks. A game-changer for how we view species interactions in the coastal systems!

Great energy yesterday at the Marine Station of @univlille.bsky.social!
We were thrilled to welcome the Parlement des Jeunes pour l’Eau, in partnership with the Agence de l’Eau, for a hands-on look at how we study and monitor plastic pollution. 🌊🔬

So long from the Moroccan intertidal 🇲🇦 — heading back to France 🇫🇷
Last snapshot: three tide pools side by side — perfect little replicates.

The Norwegian #intertidal always delivers surprises 🇳🇴🌊 From microbial biodiversity to unexpected megafauna encounters - though we’re not sure we should count the 🫎 in the transect 😉 #Fieldwork #IntertidalEcology @katynicastro.bsky.social @gerardozardi.bsky.social @univlille.bsky.social #biodiversity
