Florian Trigodet@floriantrigodet.bsky.social · last yr.I am very happy (and anxious) to share with you our most recent work in which we evaluated four of the most popular long-read assemblers, www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and tell you just a little bit about it in the following 🧵
Happy New Year from the BlueRemediomics team! Oil spills released 10,000 tonnes in 2024, and 10M tonnes of toxic chemicals enter the environment each year, but solutions exist! Discover how marine microbes can help in our new factsheet. 👉 blueremediomics.eu/wp-content/u...
Did you know a single mL of seawater can host up to 1M microbes, making up 90% of ocean biomass? We’re excited to launch BlueRemediomics’ factsheet series with our consortium partners. First up: marine biodiscovery & blue growth! 👉 blueremediomics.eu/wp-content/u...

Excited to share our fresh-off-the-press Annual Review on the role of temperature in metabolic scaling! We review the state of the field on this topic and unpack confusion about the various ways the term "scaling" is used in metabolic theories. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...
Scaling Temperature Effects on Metabolism from Individuals to Ecosystems
The effects of temperature on metabolic rates are a core component of ecological change, with surprisingly regular effects across diverse ecological systems. Metabolic scaling theories can provide qua...
