‘The unsuspected history of the oyster”: Stéphane Pouvreau guest on La Terre au carré

Our colleague Stéphane POUVREAU was guest on ‘La Terre au Carré’, the famous radio broadcast on France Inter on 4 February, alongside Catherine Dupont (archaeomalacologist at the CNRS). Conducted by Mathieu VIDARD, the broadcast, entitled ‘L’histoire insoupçonnée de l’huître’(The unsuspected history of the oyster), looked back at the eventful history of this shellfish that is […]

CEPA 7 : animal ecophysiology conference in Brest

Biodiversity is facing a major environmental crisis. It is therefore urgent to identify the impact of environmental constraints on the ecological and physiological functioning of animal species, but also the adaptations implemented by these organisms to respond to environmental changes. Animal ecophysiology is a crucial discipline at this level, integrating the mechanisms underlying metabolism, energetics, […]

Decoding drivers of carbon flux attenuation in the oceanic biological pump

Abstract The biological pump supplies carbon to the oceans’ interior, driving long-term carbon sequestration and providing energy for deep-sea ecosystems. Its efficiency is set by transformations of newly formed particles in the euphotic zone, followed by vertical flux attenuation via mesopelagic processes. Depth attenuation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) flux is modulated by multiple […]
