Our team at #cibio-biopolis often comes across fascinating #biointeractions on the rocky shores! Here we share a video of what appears to be the crab #Pachygrapsus_marmoratus, pushing away the anemone #Anemonia_viridis to scrape some algae in a #tidepool 🦀🪸🌿

BIOINTERACT is built on collaboration 🤝
For the last weeks the Portuguese team at #cibio-biopolis hosted the PhD student Anaëlle Bizien from the partner university @univbrest.bsky.social
We performed #macroalgae surveys in northern Portugal and Galicia and shared #taxonomy knowledge 📖

Sharing some preliminary results of field experiments of the @biointeractproj.bsky.social at #itrs2025
Thank you to all collaborators!
More soon 🔎

Thank you Steve for the shout-out to @manoanalu.bsky.social’s presentation on Friday at #itrs2025
Historical data is key to describe temporal changes in communities but it’s not easy to get!

Several team members are at #itrs2025!
Join us for oral and poster presentations throughout the week.

One year jubilee for this rocky shore experiment. ‪@catiamonteiro.bsky.social‬‬ and @biointeractproj.bsky.social‬ visiting the Bergen site. Treated with a generous low tide. Ascophyllum removal and responses across latitudes. #Seasonality #Espegrend

🚨New publication🚨
In a collaboration between #cibio-biopolis and #universitybergen we looked at the #sugarkelp #saccharinalatissima and the response to #temperature and #photoperiod

Hoje celebramos a incrível variedade de vida do nosso planeta!🌍
Na Biomaratona, temos observado e registado espécies maravilhosas da nossa costa, como as do vídeo.
📸 Ao participares na Biomaratona, contribuis para o conhecimento e conservação da biodiversidade marinha. Observa, fotografa e partilha!

An unexpected #biologicalinteraction out on the #rockyshore 🤭

I am proud to share that I won a PostDoctoral fellowship from Fundación ”la Caixa”!
Happy to dive into biological interactions at BIOPOLIS-CIBIO for the next 3 years!

We started the year setting-up a field experiment to study the impacts of #climatechange on the #brownmacraalgae Himanthalia elongata.
More over the next months!

The tide is the lowest «ever». Air pressure and winds are on my side 🌕💨💪🏼The temp started at -9C, but now just -5C 🥵🥰 A perfect day in the intertidal rockweed beds, downloading temperature data and photographing plots for biodiv studies together with
@catiamonteiro.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social

We were busy last week in the coast of Portugal monitoring the brown #macroalgae #himanthaliaelongata
