Marine calcifiers

We focus on assessing responses of benthic organisms and their microbiome to environmental changes & reconstructing past changes using their archives. @ICMCSIC

The Mediterranean is warming fast & future acidification may threaten bryozoans. Using a natural CO₂ vent, our @CommsBio study shows species-specific skeletal shifts, microbiome changes & long-term vulnerability. New animation out now 👇

Molt contents de la participació en l'activitat sobre plàstics i espècies invasores de la @setmananatura. 🌿

Els plàstics trobats a la platja i a l'aigua ens recorden que encara queda molt per fer, tant a nivell personal com polític.

Gràcies, voluntaris i voluntàries! 💙

🗣️Great talks by Blanca Figuerola, from @ICMCSIC, and Arnaud Estoup, from @INRAE_France.

Really happy that I can finally attend the Larwood meeting again! Looking forward to reconnecting with many bryozoologist colleagues, some I haven’t seen in a long time, and to listening to the talks in such an interesting program! 🤗🪸 #Bryozoa

Vine a la @SetmanaNatura a l’@ICMCSIC! #FuturViu
Els plàstics que arriben al mar no només contaminen: també poden ajudar algunes espècies marines a desplaçar-se i colonitzar nous llocs.
Vols descobrir quins organismes poden viatjar sobre els plàstics marins?

We were so happy to welcome sponge taxonomists Javier Cristobo and Pilar Ríos from @IEO_GIJON to @ICMCSIC! We had the chance to show them our experiment and share our work. We also met their colleague, Florencio González. Such a great visit! #biodiversity #taxonomy

Farewell, Emmanouela! 💙

We couldn’t dive, but we still had such a great time together 😊

It was really nice having you with us. We’ll miss you!

Good luck with your Master’s thesis and enjoy the journey ahead 🌍✨

[Blanca Figuerola @BlancaFiguerola]

Happy to be joining the #BiodIBErsityDay2026.
Looking forward to sharing ideas and learning from researchers working on biodiversity, ecology, evolution, and conservation.

Avui hem estat de mostreig al port per l'experiment en aquaris i per una col•laboració. Tot un èxit gràcies a aquest gran equip 👏 #HOLOCHANGE #MedCalRes

[Blanca Figuerola @BlancaFiguerola]

This week I am attending the Antarctic marine species traits workshop organized by @BiodiversityAQ, @SCAR_Tweets Antarctic Biodiversity Informatics, SCARfish & @WRMarineSpecies. With other taxonomists from #RAMS, we plan to integrate trait data & update priority trait lists.

[Marine calcifiers @marcalcifiers]

Exciting news! Chapter 4 of Tomás’ thesis is published in Marine Environmental Research! Ocean warming and acidification may reduce the nutritional value of Antarctic seaweed Monostroma hariotii by altering its biochemical profile.

Primera calçotada de l’Emmanouela i despedida del Tomás.
Gran dia a Vilanova i la Geltrú amb el millor equip, calçots i bona companyia.
Hi tornarem! 🔥🌞

[Marine calcifiers @marcalcifiers]

Big day yesterday!🎉 Tomás successfully defended his thesis! Congrats Dr. Azcárate! So proud of all the hard work and wishing you the best for what’s next.
Bonus: it was also Gabriel’s birthday the same day🎂
Huge thanks for the support from Severo Ochoa FPI!
