Impact of substrate clogging on vertical connectivity
Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis, Robin Schroff
Connectivity between the hyporheic zone and the flow is essential for the development of benthos and the reproductive success of spawning fish. The infiltration of fine sediment leads to clogging of the riverbed, reducing porosity and vertical water exchan ...
2023Host starvation and in hospite degradation of algal symbionts shape the heat stress response of the Cassiopea-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis
Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Cristina Martin Olmos, Nils Rädecker, Guilhem Maurice Louis Banc-Prandi, Gaëlle Delphine Toullec
Global warming is causing large-scale disruption of cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbioses fundamental to major marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs. However, the mechanisms by which heat stress perturbs these symbiotic partnerships remain poorly understood ...
2023Aerosol source identification in the spring and summertime central Arctic Ocean using high-resolution mass spectrometry during MOSAiC.
Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Imad El Haddad, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada
The Arctic region is undergoing considerable changes and is warming at a rate three to four times as fast as the rest of the world. Aerosols, which can originate from natural or anthropogenic sources, both of which can be locally emitted or long-range tran ...
2023Challenges and approaches in bridging the biomimicry gap in biohybrid systems of fish and robots
As the field of ethology advances, especially over the past two decades, the role of animal-robot interaction tools has increasingly become essential. This importance arises from the need for controlled, repetitive, repeatable, and long-duration experiment ...
EPFL2023The Reef Environment Centralized InFormation System (RECIFS) : An integrated geo‐environmental database for coral reef research and conservation
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni
Motivation: Host to intricate networks of marine species, coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Over the past few decades, major degradations of coral reefs have been observed worldwide, which is largely attributed to the ...
2023Metabolism of the symbiotic jellyfish Cassiopea in a changing environment
Ocean warming and other anthropogenic impacts have led to a global decline in many photosymbiotic cnidarians, most notably reef-building corals. But some species of the symbiotic and (sub-)tropical upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea are increasingly reported ...
EPFL2023Non-invasive investigation of the morphology and optical properties of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea with optical coherence tomography
Anders Meibom, Niclas Heidelberg Lyndby, Sandrine Denise Françoise Bessette, Michael Kühl
The jellyfish Cassiopea largely cover their carbon demand via photosynthates produced by microalgal endosymbionts, but how holobiont morphology and tissue optical properties affect the light microclimate and symbiont photosynthesis in Cassiopea remain unex ...
ROYAL SOC2023Bioaccessibility of Organic Compounds Associated with Tire Particles Using a Fish In Vitro Digestive Model: Solubilization Kinetics and Effects of Food Coingestion
Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Thibault Béranger Masset, Luke Christopher Harris
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) account for an important part of the polymer particles released into the environment. There are scientific knowledge gaps as to the potential bioaccessibility of chemicals associated with TRWP to aquatic organisms. This ...

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset, Luke Christopher Harris
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) account for an important part of the polymer particles released into the environment. There are scientific knowledge gaps as to the potential bioaccessibility of chemicals associated with TRWP to aquatic organisms. This ...
2022Evidence that Pacific tuna mercury levels are driven by marine methylmercury production and anthropogenic inputs
Pacific Ocean tuna is among the most-consumed seafood products but contains relatively high levels of the neurotoxin methylmercury. Limited observations suggest tuna mercury levels vary in space and time, yet the drivers are not well understood. Here, we m ...
