Many animals have biological and circadian rhythms with periods of more and less activity. Fan worms (Polychaeta: Sabellidae) possess radiolar crowns used for feeding and respiration. These crowns can be retracted into the tube in which the animal lives, or displayed in the water, indicating inactivity or activity. Here, activity patterns based on crown status were studied in the fan worm species

Bakgrund: Barnmorskans dagliga arbete innefattar psykosociala aspekter där empati utgör en central del. Det finns lite forskning kring påverkan på barnmorskor när de arbetar utifrån ett empatiskt förhållningssätt. Empatitrötthet innebär minskad förmåga att ge fysiskt, psykiskt och emotionellt stöd. Empatitrötthet kommer ofta smygande och kan få stora konsekvenser för barnmorskan såsom utbrändhet,
Regularly described as hotspots for marine life, seamounts are important foraging grounds for marine predators. In surface waters over seamounts, diel vertically migrating organisms can be aggregated, making seamounts potentially attractive and profitable food sources for predators such as seabirds. Still, the potential association between seabirds and seamounts has seldom been described and littl
Phytoplankton and zooplankton interactions are vital in regulating nutrient cycles and productivity in aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, zooplankton account for the majority of phytoplankton mortality in the ocean. Due to predation pressures, phytoplankton have evolved several defensive traits, many of them being inducible defenses such as toxin production, colony size alterations, swimming behavi
