What better way to kick off our BlueSky than with a deep dive into science?🌊🔬

Our latest article, Extreme Environments: Lessons from Ocean Depths, explores how whale hearts adapt to deep-sea pressures🐋

Written by Juan, postdoc at @pasteur.fr🧬

Extreme Environments: Lessons from Ocean Depths
Adaptations of the Heart: Comparative Responses to Diving and Hypoxia Across Species…Many physiological mechanisms have evolved in living organisms to cope with extreme environments, including high altitudes or deep ocean depths. These include changes in oxygen transport and utilization, metabolic adjustments, strategies to retain heat in cold conditions, adaptations to withstand high pressure, mechanisms for surviving in darkness, and efficient energy use to cope with limited food availability.
