BIOINTERACT
@biointeractproj.bsky.social
Research project focused on #bioticinteractions in a changing intertidal rocky shore: how foundation #algae species determine #biodiversity across environmental gradients. Funded by FCT at CIBIO/BIOPOLIS. Explore further at https://rb.gy/pwtl4v
#biointeract will be presented at #embs2026! See you there?
European Marine Biology Symposium@embssymposium.bsky.social · 6mo ago📢 Save the date! The 59th European Marine Biology Symposium ( #EMBS59 ) will take place 7–10 July 2026 in Peniche, Portugal 🇵🇹 🌊 Hosted by ESTM (Polytechnic of Leiria) & MARE 📍 Coastal campus overlooking the Berlengas UNESCO Biosphere Reserve 🙌 More here👇 www.embs-symposium.com
We can now detect new marine species with a small sample of DNA 🧬 Meet NANOMICS - the protocol with a cost-effective and user-friendly process of detecting marine species 🪼 Swipe left to see how NANOMICS works ➡️ Read more on www.aneris.eu #marinebiodeversity #marineresearch #ANERISTechs
Arriving at dawn to capture the Oslofjord low tide - downl. temp data and photographing species to study the diversity of species with different temp and positions relative to solar influx. Project lead by @catiamonteiro.bsky.social @coastalwarming.bsky.social @biointeractproj.bsky.social
🌊📱 MINKA: documentar biodiversidade, uma foto de cada vez (2/2) A MINKA permite que qualquer pessoa registe e partilhe observações de biodiversidade, tornando a ciência mais acessível e participativa. 👉 Junta-te à comunidade e contribui. Porque cada observação conta. www.minka-sdg.org
And we move the Spotlight to @catiamonteiro.bsky.social that was recently awarded a La Caixa Junior Leader fellowship and who is off today to #chile where she will soon board a ship to #antartica 🐧 Exciting times ahead! #biodiversity #marineecology #citizenscience #fieldwork
Today we introduce @gabrielaborer.bsky.social She is a #PhD student working on #eDNA and #imaging data to study #biodiversity of #rockyshores #up @aneris.eu @biointeractproj.bsky.social
From data collection to groundbreaking analyses, 2025 was packed with momentum! 🐚🦀Thank you for being part of this journey 🌍🤍 Stay tuned to see what 2026 has under the shell 🌊 #science #ecology #biodiversity @biointeractproj.bsky.social @biomaratona.bsky.social @aneris.eu @caixaresearch.bsky.social
We have a new Msc!! 🥳 Last Thursday, João Barbosa defended his MsC thesis at ICBAS-UP, entitled “Assessing #herbivory pressure on canopy-forming #seaweeds along #temperature gradients- a case-study with Himanthalia elongata”. stay tuned for more! #fct @aneris.eu @coastalwarming.bsky.social
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 🦀🪸🌿 #biodiversity #invertebrates #photography
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 🔎 @coastalwarming.bsky.social @trinebekkby.bsky.social @oysteinvarpe.bsky.social @manoanalu.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social @gabrielaborer.bsky.social
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! @coastalwarming.bsky.social @catiamonteiro.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social
Several team members are at #itrs2025! Join us for oral and poster presentations throughout the week. @catiamonteiro.bsky.social @manoanalu.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social @coastalwarming.bsky.social
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 @catiamonteiro.bsky.social @coastalwarming.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
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!
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! @coastalwarming.bsky.social @biointeractproj.bsky.social #seaweed #grazing #citizenscience #biogeography #ecology

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! @coastalwarming.bsky.social @jpbarbosa01.bsky.social @catiamonteiro.bsky.social @fplima.bsky.social
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 #fieldwork #marinebiology @coastalwarming.bsky.social
