March 2025 – Marine Trophic Ecology workshop @ICM!

During 5 intense days, we have celebrated a super motivating workshop with the final goal to review traditional and novel applications and techniques studying trophic interactions of marine organisms in past, present and future ecosystems.

We aimed at discussing their main features, applications, advances, complementarities and limitations. The emphasis of the workshop was on methods such as chemical tags (stable isotopes, fatty acids, trace elements), genetics (DNA metabarcoding), visual observations (stomach content) and the analysis of different parts or tissues of organisms (otoliths, stomach contents, muscles, bones, eye lens…), as well as on modelling techniques.

Our iMARES team prepared a nice video to showcase the week.

A peer review publication in on the making!
