To understand the functioning of ecosystems and their flows of matter and energy, it is essential to know the architecture of these ecosystems. This architecture consists of trophic interactions between organisms that determine the exchange of energy and nutrients within the system. For particularly rich ecological systems, such as coral reefs, our knowledge of the food web structure is still only partial. In the scientific literature, it was commonly accepted that most reef fishes were generalists.

The MIO will participate in the Fête de la Science "Remue-Méninges à Bagatelle" in the Park of the city hall of the 6-8th districts of Marseille on the theme of biodiversity on October 9 and 10, 2021.

The Agora des Sciences will welcome Delphine Thibault for the six meetings between the public and biodiversity specialists, hosted in the Bagatelle park by Pedro Lima, scientific journalist.

From October 8 to 10, 2021, the MIO will present stands and conferences at the Festival des Sciences de Marseille, Esplanade de la Mairie de Marseille, 13002 Marseille.

Come and share a unique experience!

On Wednesday, September 29 in Toulon, Valérie Michotey, accompanied by three team leaders, Christos Panagiatopoulos (CEM), Patricia Bonin (MEB) and Gérald Grégori (CYBELE), presented the MIO and answered various questions from MAPIEM staff

Richard Sempéré (MIO-CEM) participated in this Forum.

In Bizerte, faced with the degradation of marine ecosystems, decision-makers and experts are committed to an exemplary Mediterranean by 2030.

The 4th edition of the World Sea Forum - Bizerte, produced by La Saison Bleue, was held on September 24 and 25 in Bizerte, Tunisia.

This book describes the photooxidation and autoxidation of the lipid components of phototrophic organisms. These two processes, which act intensively during the senescence of phototrophs, have been relatively neglected in the relevant literature. The text details the mechanisms involved in type-II photosensitized oxidation and free radical oxidation (autoxidation) of the main unsaturated lipids, with a close focus on the specificity of the oxidation products formed and their potential to serve as tracers of these processes.

In front of a well-packed amphitheatre, Marc brilliantly presented his thesis on the following subject

Methods, procedures and hyperbaric techniques for the study of deep-sea microorganisms in in situ conditions

Thesis Director: Christian Tamburini, CNRS Research Director

Abstract

Our colleague Mélanie Ourgaud will give, on Friday September 24th, a conference on the Impact of plastics on the marine environment in Le Rove, Salle des Fêtes Eugêne Lanteri, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm, as part of the European Week for Sustainable Development. This event is organized by the association Planète Zero Déchet.
