FunSeas

Marine Functional Connectivity involved the flows of organic matter, genes and energy that take place in the sea and are the result of the movements of marine organisms. In this framework, the daily migration of mesopelagic fishes to the euphotic zone of the oceans is a siginificant contributor to the biological carbon pump. This project, which is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and implemented at the Institute of Marine Science (ICM-CSIC), investigates how Miocene climatic changes affected the paleobiogeographic distribution of lanternfishes and ultimately impacted the efficiency of the carbon pump on a global scale.
