CAREER COLUMN 14 February 2020 Gabriel Waksman found a personal way to overcome his eco-anxiety and combat his carbon emissions — by planting native woodlands. Gabriel Waksman Gabriel Waksman is a professor of structural biology at the Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology, run jointly by University College London and Birkbeck, University of London.

Meiofaunal organisms are tremendously dependent of sediment and therefore reveal the effect of sediment structure and composition on morphology as crucial to better understand animals-habitat interactions. For our group of study, the allomalorhagid families Dracoderidae and Pycnophyidae and the cyclorhagid genus Echinoderes (phylum Kinorhyncha), we found relationships between body and LTS shape with some of […] More

Origin of Amoebophrya strains and single infected dinoflagellate cells We based our analyses either on Amoebophrya strains or directly on infected host cells isolated by micromanipulation from environmental samples (hereafter called single-cells). Strains and single-cells were isolated during monitoring for the toxic dinoflagellate species Alexandrium minutum. Monitoring was performed over five years (2007, 2009, 2010–2012) […] More
