内気なチンアナゴは、餌を捕る時も含めてほぼ一生を巣穴で過ごします。OIST海洋生態物理学ユニットは、世界初の試みとなる、実験室でのチンアナゴの行動研究を行い、強い流れの中で餌を捕らえる時にそのライフスタイルが理にかなっていることを明らかにしました。@J_Exp_Biol bit.ly/3zkHx9e

Meet the garden eel – a shy creature who almost never leaves its burrow, even to feed. Now, the OIST Marine Biophysics Unit has conducted the first lab study on garden eels, revealing how their lifestyle pays off when feeding in strong currents @J_Exp_Biol bit.ly/3PFRSSy

Research from OIST scientist, Yosuke Yamada, from the Marine Biophysics unit was featured in the @hakaimagazine. 🎧Read or listen to this article “Viruses Are Not Always the Villain“: bit.ly/3tu8zYE @MitaraiUnit

We can thank microbes for moving carbon to the depths of the ocean, but will our changing world mess with their good work? And should we intervene?

We just deployed 2 types of GPS drifting buoys (with and without a drogue) in a pumice slice.

Climate finance still falls far short of what is needed to keep global warming within 1.5°C. Just 3% of climate finance is finding its way into nature, with ocean resilience being the least invested in. Ocean finance matters #ListenToTheOcean #COP26
