Marine knowledge times two DAM's new transfer portals invite you to dive in and discover Parliamentary evening in Bremen: Impetus for the future of the oceans Around 100 guests from politics, science, business and organized civil society accepted the invitation from the DAM to hear about the latest findings in marine research. Secret life underground: Animal life beneath the seafloor Scientists discovered significant numbers of animals living in cavities and caves below the deep-sea seafloor, some growing up to half a meter of length. Vagabonds and homebodies: Niches of bacterial life in the seabed In the ocean‘s sandy seafloor, bacterial residents have neatly organized their housing space. A bacterium infects deep-sea mussels and multiplies in their cells Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, now reveal how a bacterial parasite infects and reproduces in the nuclei of deep-sea mussels from hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Photosynthesis in near darkness Photosynthesis can take place at extremely low light levels. This is the result of an international study carried out as part of the MOSAiC expedition. New concept for the protection of marine biodiversity The AGELESS Project will leverage long-term data series for the ocean of the future Fisheries Research Overestimates Fish Stocks GEOMAR Expert Calls for More Realistic Stock Assessments Concealed Among Deep-water Corals: New Fish Species Discovered In Mauritanian Waters The fish from the rockling family was found at a depth of 595 meters The Race for Species Discovery 11 new marine species and a new platform for rapid species description established METEOR expedition M202 investigates the ecology of prey to better understand hunting behaviour of toothed whales in the Atlantic On Sunday, the research vessel METEOR set off on an expedition around the island of Terceira in the Azores archipelago. 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.
