Who’s onboard

• Academics (4)

• PostDocs (2)• PhDs (5)

• Technicians (5)

• Biological models: digestive tract bacteria, ectoparasitic crabs, spine epibionts

• Approches: morphological, physiological and genetic

• Objectives: role of bacterial symbionts, specificity, behavior and genetic structure of populations, contribution of epibionts to benthos diversity

Symbiosis

• Biological models: echinoderms (echinoidea, asteroidea, holothuroidea)

• Approaches: physiological responses to combinations of environmental stressors

• Objectives: determine potential impact of global change at sub-ecosystem levels, integrate physiological responses in spatially-explicit models

Eco-physiology

• Biological models: echinoderms (echinoidea, asteroidea)

• Approaches: biodiversity census, macro-ecological analysis, modelisation

• Objectives: identify biodiversity patterns, ecological role of symbionts

Biogeography/biodiversity

• Biological models: echinoderms (echinoidea, asteroidea), Adélie penguins

• Approaches: information systems, modelisation, GIS, tracking data, integration of large data volumes

• Objectives: measure combined effects of environmental disturbance at high organisation levels, identify eco-indicator species

Background

Meet the (dream) team

• Anton Van de Putte

• Nabil Youdjou

• Henri Robert

• … Job vacancy launched in September

Just a bit of history

• IPY, SCAR, CAML

• SCAR-MarBIN, ANTABIF, ANTABIS

• First website launched in 2005

• => now all under one banner: biodiversity.aq

Our vision:Antarctic biodiversity data are open, linked, useful, interoperable and safe.
