Biodiversity Hunters

Olá, Hola, Kaixo, Hello, Hallo!

Welcome to the tales of the biodiversity hunters!

We are 7 students working in the beautiful Marine Research Center of Tjärnö, in Sweden, and we come from Belgium, Portugal, England and Spain. Our study problem could easily be how you can have Southern Europeans having dinner at 5pm or how they are still able to think in freezing Swedish temperatures. Or how the Belgian guy can survive without Beer and French (Belgian) fries. Or how the English girl can survive without the BBC. But NO!


In fact, our four-nationality team is in charge of finding out what is the best method to sample the biodiversity of the Tjärnö bay! And everyone has something to give for the success of the team!
Yaiza, the sailor girl, is responsible for all the knots, and that’s how she also keeps the team together. Emiel, and his soothing voice, are responsible for keeping the team stress free. Beatriz is being inspired by her current reading of Verne’s Captain Nemo adventures, and often contributes with undoable ideas. Mikel, and his incredible mohawk, move around with a smile, representing the best that Basque Country has to give. Hannah, the only native English speaker, is responsible for all the corrections of our fancy English. João, and his observation skills, are very good at noticing what we are doing wrong. Cristina is the artist in between all of us and everything in her says ART!


Between lots of ideas and brainstorms, we started building our super high-tech methodology and took it out on the boat to test! Even when ideas have to be rethought, teamwork and the delicious breakfast served every morning is what makes us get out of bed. The nice and beautiful environment of the Tjärnö bay helps us keep going and to always keep the positivity high!
We can’t wait for our real sampling days to start and to spread all our ideas out there!

Bye bye beautiful Tjärnö

And here we are again! Our third and final blog… It’s been a hard couple of days since we last wrote to you. A lot happened…. And...between you and me, it wasn’t always pretty. In some moments we felt like social science students rather than marine biologist - studying, and fully experiencing, the weird behaviour of people working under loooads of pressure. As you guys probably know by now… we aren’t here just to have fun. We have to write a report on the research we have been doing on hydrodynamics. And due to us having spent a lot of time on data gathering and building our floaters, we did not have a lot of time left. Conclusion: we need to rush! More than planned… And not only Michiel was very sad about sleeping a bit less than planned. This of course means lots of pressure, working late and even skipping breakfast and lunch to get 2 more hours to write the report. Even after all of that, we were just in time (it practically came down to the second) for our 17:00 deadline. And

The importance of animal welfare in scientific research

Image
We thought it’d be nice to interview a few people from our research project to pick out different aspects of it. This is the first one. --> So Merijn, your university pathway is quite unusual, tell me a little about it. I started out as a philosophy student. At first I was mostly interested in political philosophy, but I quickly found a way to merge my passion for nature (and mainly animals) with my studies in the form of environmental philosophy. I wrote my master thesis on ‘the land ethic’, which is a philosophical doctrine trying to find  harmony between mankind and nature by finding a way to value nature for itself, instead of for the services it provides us with. I then did a Master of Science in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare at the university of Edinburgh, Something I took from there was the need for scientists, mostly biologists, to take into consideration the welfare of animals involved in scientific experiments, something that is not as obvious as it might s

A Guide to Hunting Aliens

Image
Hello from Tjarno once again.  The hunting unfolds and we have decided to give you guys a crash course on Alien hunting!  Image 1+2 Astronauts vs Marine Biologists The idea behind this is to run through the basic skills you need to determine if there are Aliens around you. No, not the ones from outer space (yikes), the ones hiding below the surface of oceans where they have never been before coming from all corners of the earth (yikes).  For the marine environment it’s a bit tricky but fear not we are well equipped. Image 3 Well equipped   You will need to have: Scuba or swim suite (According to the region) Chic waders Transect Line or rope (to measure area) Quadrats ( 25x25 square) Sampling buckets Scrapers CTD Note book Boat ( if you want to be fancy)    Ok! So you have your gear, let’s go… We have selected 4 sites for comparison in our area, the beautiful Tjärnö Bay to do our sampling. We chose these different types of h
