The pond at #SeaLife Porto is taking shape! This new freshwater #ecosystem will create a refuge for various species, enhancing #urbanbiodiversity. Part of the #MoRePorto project, it promotes #wetlandconservation in Porto. Stay tuned for more updates! #CIIMARresearch @AquEcoEvo

Have you seen a freshwater mussel in its habitat? 🌍💧 They’re vital for water clarity & biodiversity but are among the most endangered species, with all 6 native to Portugal at risk. Follow us to learn more about AEE’s work to protect them! #FreshwaterMussels #Conservation

Yesterday at #CIIMARopenday, we had an amazing time presenting our exhibition on the deep ocean and its incredible biodiversity. It was a pleasure to share knowledge and experiences with such a diverse and enthusiastic audience! 🌊🦑 @CiimarUp

SEA LIFE Porto apresenta exposição “Mexilhões de Água Doce” em parceria com o CIIMAR greensavers.sapo.pt/sea-life-porto…

The creatures of the deep-sea are coming! Come to visit us the next Sunday 22th of September in the #CIIMARopenday @CiimarUp

We are thrilled to announce that our colleague @AndreMaGoSaP has begun his Junior Research Contract with our group! His research will focus on adaptative genomics of freshwater mussels.

New paper out! Using the marine hatchetfish as an mtDNA study model, our team presents convincing evidence that mitochondrial replication is the major driver of mtDNA strand asymmetry in vertebrates. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Call for Doctoral (PhD) Fellowship in our lab at CIIMAR We seek motivated and enthusiastic PhD student candidates to study genomic adapations of freshwater mussels. Deadline: 24 January 2024 More details can be found at: lnkd.in/dUH6TxAM #laCaixaFoundation #CIIMAR

@CiimarUp researcher Elsa Froufe featured in Notícias UP with a study highlighting the critical state of freshwater mussels in Portugal These results are in line with those observed during the EdgeOmics project noticias.up.pt/mexilhoes-de-a… #CIIMARnews

Today we mourn the passing of EO Wilson. Wilson was a giant of evolutionary biology, who among other things, started debates connecting biology & behavior (sociobiology). He completed 30 books and over 400 papers. Rest In Peace. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._O._Wil…
