New Postdoctoral Fellowship for studying micronekton in the EPB group
A new research project has been assigned to the EPB group to quantify functional diversity in mesopelagic communities. The scientific project TROF-MP will be carried out by Dr. Airam Sarmiento Lezcano between 2024 and 2030 and will address the relationships between the functional diversity of mesopelagic communities and ecosystem productivity.This project is a collaboration between the National Oceanography Centre (NOC, UK) (Prof. Clive Trueman), the Stockholm University (Sweden) (Prof. Monika Winder) and IEO-CSIC (Prof. Antonio Bode).
