Marine Ecosystem Evolution in a Changing Environment (MEECE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

MEECE is a scientific research project which aims to use a combination of data synthesis, numerical simulation and targeted experimentation to further our knowledge of how marine ecosystems will respond to combinations of multiple climate change and anthropogenic drivers. With an emphasis on the European Marine Strategy (EMS), MEECE will improve the decision support tools to provide a structured l ...

Judgement and Knowledge in Fisheries including Stakeholders (JAKFISH)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"The project will investigate how different actors in the marine sector, including fisheries, make use of scientific knowledge, how the roles that scientists play help formulate policies and how governance approaches can be developed which enable policy decisions to address uncertainty and complexity based on research and with the participation of stakeholders. The project will collect and build o ...

Optimal mating strategies in pelagic copepods: ecological and evolutionary meaning (COPEPOD MATING)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2010,

"The mechanisms that govern mating in marine pelagic copepods are still hardly known. Pelagic copepods exhibit two different mating systems; there are species that require only one mating to ensure female fertility, and others that need re-insemination. Several aspects related with mating ecology, such as male fitness, mate choice, mate-finding behaviour, mating behaviour, or predation risk associ ...

Appendicularian houses fate and role in carbon sedimentation and nutrition of zooplankton (Houses fate)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

Little is currently known about the mechanisms by which zooplankton could find and locate sinking particles in the marine pelagic environment. However this process is believe to be an important pathway in reducing the downward carbon flux in the ocean and could also be an important food supply for zooplankton organisms or fishes larvae. In pelagic Ocean, appendicularians are important producers of ...

Bridging the gap between science and stakeholders: Phase I – Common Ground (GAP1)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2009,

Together, the stakeholder and scientist participants in GAP1 will initiate cooperative research by making plans to combine knowledge in future participatory research. They will engage through a series of European and regional workshops. GAP1 represents phase 1 of a three-phase programme that aims to explore the complementary nature of alternative knowledge and investigate how to combine it in wa ...
