¿Sabes cuánto ignoramos de la #biodiversidad en los océanos? Nuevos hallazgos con vehículo submarinos controlados a distancia y #metagenómica muestran que gran parte de la vida marina sigue sin describir: desde arrecifes profundos hasta microbiomas desconocidos:

¿Queda mucho por saber sobre la vida en los océanos?
La verdad es que apenas sabemos nada. Si recopiláramos el código genético de todos los organismos marinos descubiertos y aún por descubrir, escribiríamos nuevas enciclopedias de la vida con volúmenes ...

Exploring the universe of species names has been really fun.
I always assumed that genera would be shared across species more often than epithets. It makes sense, right? A genus can include many species, while the epithet is supposed to be more, well, “specific.” 😅

That moment of consternation when you read the abstract of a just-published paper and realize it's strikingly similar to your current project.

Last week I visited the Center for Marine Studies (UFPR), Brazil 🇧🇷, to share recent works on marine LDG, sampling bias and some ongoing projects.
It was so nice to return to this place full of good memories and catch up with old friends 😁.

Taking the pulse of meiofauna research in 2025. My biggest take-home message as the head of one panel: evolutionary genomics is not (yet) anywhere near reaching its potential in this field, partly because of a lack of visibility/interdisciplinary education. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
