This is the main conclusion of a new report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), with the participation of the ICM-CSIC.

This is the main conclusion of a recent study published in Communications Earth & Environment, which has identified clear seasonal patterns of plastic pollution in the North Atlantic for the first time.

Its effectiveness has been confirmed in a study led by AZTI Technology Centre, in collaboration with the ICM-CSIC, and published in the Communications Earth & Environment journal.

The research, led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in collaboration with the University of Girona and the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital, identifies atmospheric pressure and relative humidity as key pandemic risk indicators.

Details are outlined in a study led by the ICM-CSIC, which argues that these microorganisms, among the most abundant in the ocean, challenge classical principles of ecology and evolution.

The new species were identified in the Blanes Bay (Girona), where there is a permanent ICM-CSIC sampling point, and are globally distributed.
