Life of a Scientist, Uffe Høgsbro Thygesen

Uffe usually teaches at DTU. Recently, however, the trip went to Greenland, where the students could see how his teaching relates to reality.

Fast food: efficient prey handling in suspension feeding copepods

Copepods are among the most common multicellular organisms on earth and feed on a wide variety of prey. When capturing food, they have to briefly handle it before they can ingest it. However, not much is known about how the handling time impact copepod feeding efficiency.

Evolution of toxicity as a public good in phytoplankton

Many species of phytoplankton release toxins that combat competitors and predators. It has long puzzled researchers how such ‘public good’ toxicity has evolved, because mutant ‘cheaters’ that do not pay the cost of toxin production would benefit equally from the toxicity and thus outcompete the toxin producers. In a new study we describe...

Optimality of long-distance migrations

In a new paper, researchers from the Centre for Ocean Life explore the way behavioural traits can influence long-distance migration patterns of large organisms such as sea turtles in the ocean.

Trophic interactions drive diel vertical migration patterns

Using a game theoretic and mechanistic model, researchers from the Centre for Ocean Life showed how traits influencing predator-prey interactions shape the diel vertical migrating behavior of copepod communities.

Why organic carbon persist in the oceans
30 NOV

Popular scientific article in Aktuel Naturvidenskab: Why does organic carbon persist in the oceans?

Massive amounts of organic carbon are floating around in the oceans. The carbon can persist for thousands of years, most likely because it is so dilute that the bacteria do not gain anything from taking it up.

New paper in Applied and Environmental Microbiology: “A Model Addressing Enzyme Strategies in Free-Living bacterioplankton...

Vast amounts of carbon are stored in the ocean interior as dissolved organic matter. Bacteria and their extracellular enzymes are key for understanding the persistence and biological degradation of dissolved organic matter.
