During this and the next week, the GAME participants of 2015 will present their findings about the capacity of anthozoans to tolerate ocean warming. They experimentally compared tolerance to heat stress in 14 different species of sea anemones from 7 different latitudes. The results of their study confirm the climate variability hypothesis that suggests that […]

Wir bieten Studierenden deutscher Hochschulen mit einem Hintergrund in den Bereichen Biologie, Ökologie und Umweltwissenschaften die Möglichkeit an einer globalen Studie zu diesem Thema teilzunehmen und dabei Daten für ihre Arbeit […]
Daily life begins really early here in the country of islands! Shortly before 5 am the call to prayer resounds through the whole city and Prehadi, my Indonesian counterpart, gets up to pray. I usually sleep a bit longer, but latest at 6 o’clock it is too loud outside to sleep comfortably and I get […]
The first team blog of the new project comes from Sonia Morón and Sebastian Bicking. We are in Menai Bridge for 6 weeks now and acclimated to the Welsh weather very well.
