An investigation published in the scientific journal Molecular Biology and Evolution determined the past of sirtuin, present in ancestors of marine vertebrates that existed more than 600 million years ago. Sirtuins are a family of proteins that play an important role...
The study, published by the scientific journal Biology, highlights new environments that could be refuge and breeding areas for countless marine organisms. The detachment of icebergs in Antarctica has increased in recent years as a consequence of climate change that...
Research is especially relevant in a context of climate change, considering the increase in the melting of ice on the white continent. Antarctica is a continent with great biological activity. Not only is there a wide network of larger organisms that interact with...
Researchers verified a large gene flow of this species, despite the distance, current and biogeographical breaks in its distribution. The so-called rock crab (Metacarcinus edwardsii) is most captured crab species by the fishing industry in Chile. With a convex shell,...
The work of more than 60 international researchers revealed the differences between tropical and cold climates, which could decrease due to the heat rise in the oceans. Anthropogenic climate change has had multiple consequences for life on Earth. One of these effects...
Research recently published in the journal Current Biology determined that, in recent years, these organisms have frequently crossed oceanographic barriers to reach different islands in the Southern Ocean. In 2018, a walk along the Fildes Bay beach on the Antarctic...
