Today we had the pleasure of attending the PhD defense of our colleague Sei Suzuki! 🙌 Sei gave an outstanding lecture on nanoflagellates feeding strategies. In fact, some of the strategies for such groups have been described for the first time during her PhD. 🔬🧪🧫 Congrats! 🎉

New review from Thomas Kiørboe on predatory nanoflagellate foraging strategies, focusing in particular on physical constraints dictating foraging-predation risk trade-offs. Happy to see progress on trait-based models of microbial ecosystems annualreviews.org/doi/10.114…

‼️New paper out‼️In this review, @Thomaskiorboe explores the unique adaptations of phagotrophic flagellates for foraging and evading predators with their flagellum. Check the review here in @AnnualReviews: doi.org/10.1146/annurev-mari…

🥳🥳 More than two years after my PhD defense, my last PhD chapter is finally out! Diel Vertical migration & the carbon pump! doi.org/10.5194/bg-20-997-20… Many thanks to all co-authors, including @OceanLifeCentre's @Thomaskiorboe @andy_w_visser @69kno @cam_sp90 @T_Norin (1/4)
Model estimates of metazoans' contributions to the biological carbon pump

Model estimates of metazoans' contributions to the biological carbon pump

Abstract. The daily vertical migrations of fish and other metazoans actively transport organic carbon from the ocean surface to depth, contributing to the biological carbon pump. We use an oxygen-c...

Life in small-scale environments is not easy when it comes to feeding. But hairy flagellates have found a clever way to overcome such limitations. Read more about how the presence of hairs increase the feeding current efficiency: journals.aps.org/prfluids/ab… @SaeedMek @Thomaskiorboe
Hydrodynamic interactions are key in thrust-generation of hairy flagella

Hydrodynamic interactions are key in thrust-generation of hairy flagella

The flagellum in many predatory flagellates is equipped with rigid hairs, which reverse the direction of thrust to generate a feeding current. We have discovered a novel mechanism for thrust genera...

While I was a post-doc @OceanLifeCentre supported by @MooreFound, I worked on how animal behaviours (especially anti-predation behaviours) could impact the biological carbon pump by disrupting trophic interactions. (2/n)
