Our paper is finally out! We looked at the effect of #salp blooms on #microbial communities and #carbon export, during different stages of a bloom. Check it out!
@LadyZooplankton @Scripps_Ocean check out that #poop!
.@ladyZooplankton et al. find that #Salps (#plankton) alter microbial communities and quintuple the flux of sinking particles from the surface to the deep, strongly enhancing the ocean's ability to sequester #CO2 @Decimalab @Scripps_Ocean @niwa_nz nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Hermoso compartir el Curso-taller de Zooplancton con los estudiantes del @usac_cema @CEMA_USAC como parte de esta collaboration con @martin3guerres, Academics Without Borders y @Scripps_Ocean, Lic. Karla Paz y Lic. Erick Villagran

Happy first oceanographic birthday to @claudia_traboni !! May this be your most eventful cruise ever. 🥳
Honing in on the equator but still a few more days until Darwin, the Indian Ocean, and the start of sampling for #BLOOFINZ!

Introducing a #pyrosome #tetrazooid ! These four zooids are the beginning of what could be a colony of hundreds of zooids. Lately we see a lot in #California. Have you seen any?
This is a Flow cytometer (FCM). It counts #phytoplankton cell using the fluorescence emitted from their chloroplasts. We’ll be learning a lot more about these Biological #oceanography methods this quarter! #SIO145

What is transparent and hard to photograph? Plankton! Featured here,among copepods, is an arrow worm, or chaetognath. They are voracious predators: they sit still in the water and wait until they feel the hydrodynamic signal of a swimming copepod - then lunge for capture!
Planning our new ‘Introduction to methods in Biological Oceanography’ class for this Spring! Check out the big (Cyclotella cryptica) and small #phytoplankton (Micromonas sp.) @anelachoy @LadyZooplankton #plankton #foodwebs
