Today, we had a great day in which we gave two more talks in #EED26, Cristian Cañestro on the “less, but more” about #geneloss, and Marc Fabregà-Torrus @marcfabregatorrus.bsky.social on #Oikopleura tail muscle and neuromesodermal evolution. @geneticsub.bsky.social @irbio-ub.bsky.social

Conclusions:
Els fiords antàrtics mostren que la productivitat del plàncton, i no el glaciar, marca els senyals isotòpics del bentos.
La forma del fons marí pot canviar la dieta i el nivell tròfic d’espècies com bivalves i anemones.
