SUMMARY:Sea and Past: Accessible Heritage
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) will begin tomorrow “Sea and Past”\, a series of interactive workshops specifically designed for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias across Galicia\, as part of the “Accessible Heritage” initiative. \nThere will be four workshops\, with small audiences and content adapted to the target public\, focusing on the biodiversity and ecology of bivalve molluscs and traditional technologies for their exploitation\, such as shellfishing and mussel rafts. Participants will connect with memories from the past and receive sensory stimulation\, reinforced through traditional sea songs that will guide the sessions. \nThe workshops were developed in close collaboration with AFAMO\, the Association of Relatives of Alzheimer’s Patients of O Morrazo\, and Fundación Legar\, dedicated to recovering and disseminating Galicia’s musical cultural heritage. \nThe main objective is to establish a link between participants and their memories through sensory\, emotional and cognitive activities. Tactile materials and traditional sea songs will be used to create an experience combining scientific knowledge with emotional connection. \nIn addition to improving understanding of marine biodiversity and Galician cultural traditions\, the workshops seek to provide an inclusive and supportive environment for older people and those facing cognitive diseases. \nWorking closely with specialised associations and paying individual attention to participants’ needs\, we aim to create an environment of care\, respect and affection in each workshop. \nThis project is a joint initiative of the CSIC Scientific Culture Unit in Galicia (Institutional Delegation)\, the Institute of Heritage Sciences (INCIPIT\, Santiago de Compostela) through its Valorisation Unit\, and the Institute of Marine Research (IIM\, Vigo) through its Scientific Culture Unit. \nThe workshops will take place on 14 May in Cee\, 20 May in Moaña\, 10 June in Burela and 12 June in Ribeira. \nProject data\nThis project is funded by FECYT – Ministry of Science\, Innovation and Universities. FECYT code: B-18215. It is part of the project “Annual Coordination of the UCC Network: Accessible Scientific Culture for People with Disabilities at CSIC”\, awarded to the CSIC Deputy Vice-Presidency for Scientific Culture and Citizen Science. \nEntities involved\nThe project includes the participation of several entities\, including the UCC of the CSIC Delegation in Galicia\, responsible for coordination\, the UCC+I of IIM-CSIC and the Valorisation Unit of Incipit-CSIC. Collaborating entities include Federación Alzheimer Galicia (FAGAL)\, AFAMO and other Alzheimer’s and dementia associations in Viveiro\, Burela\, Fisterra and Soneira\, AGADEA\, Fundación Legar and Fundación Alfareiras Terra Teruel (with Incipit). \n

SUMMARY:Syngnathids Challenge: sightings of seahorses and pipefish
DESCRIPTION:On 8 May\, at 19:00\, an open online information session will take place via Zoom to present the Syngnathids Challenge\, which seeks citizen collaboration in reporting sightings of seahorses and pipefish in order to complete the Atlas of Syngnathids of the Spanish Coast. \nSeahorses (Hippocampus spp.) are protected species included in Spain’s List of Wild Species under Special Protection. The information available on the status of wild populations of these species is very limited\, so it is necessary to collect\, analyse and assess the available information and expand knowledge about them. \nFor this reason\, the HippoDEC project team\, led by the Marine Ecology and Resources Department at IIM-CSIC\, and Observadores del Mar are launching the Syngnathids Challenge. Join the information session! \nREGISTER FOR THE INFORMATION SESSION \nInformation session programme\nDate: 08/05/2024 \n19:00: Presentation of the Hippo-DEC Project | IIM-CSIC \n19:20: Identification of syngnathid species and habitats \n19:45: How to upload observations? | Observadores del Mar – Marine citizen science platform \nThe HippoDEC project\nThe “Hippo-DEC: Diagnosis of the conservation status of seahorses on the Spanish coast\, critical areas and conservation measures” project\, led by researchers Miquel Planas and Jorge Urcera from the Marine Ecology and Resources Department at IIM-CSIC\, has the main goal of assessing the current situation of wild seahorse populations\, vulnerable species included in the List of Wild Species under Special Protection since 2011. The Hippo-DEC project will make it possible to compile\, analyse and assess vital information for the conservation of these species\, as well as to propose protection measures and critical areas requiring special attention. \nThis initiative represents a significant step towards protecting and preserving seahorses on the Spanish coast\, demonstrating the joint commitment of the scientific community and society to the conservation of marine biodiversity. \nThe project involves collaboration with Observadores del Mar\, Fundación Aula do Mar do Mediterráneo\, NGO Oceánidas\, Fundación Oceanográfic de Valencia\, NGO Ambiens\, Palma Aquarium\, Acuario Gijón and the Maritime-Terrestrial National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia. In addition\, the research is funded by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge under the DGBBD-OAPN-FB-CSIC General Action Protocol on natural heritage\, biodiversity\, forestry and adaptation to global change\, with the aim of identifying priority conservation areas and proposing action measures.

SUMMARY:Marine Sciences Programme | PT5 follow-up meeting
DESCRIPTION:IIM-CSIC programme page \nTomorrow\, 9 May\, the follow-up meeting for work package PT5 of the Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia (PCCMMG) will take place online. The coordination team is made up of Eva Balsa-Canto (IIM-CSIC) and Moncho Gómez Gesteira (UVigo). \nMultiscale and transdisciplinary marine simulator (PT5)\nThis proposal aims to advance the development of a multiscale and transdisciplinary simulator applicable to the marine environment and aquaculture. The simulator will be an essential tool for integrating data from different sources and generating the knowledge\, framework and evidence needed to address environmental\, social and economic challenges: exploring and predicting the consequences of global change in the marine environment and supporting decision-making for the management of uses and resources. \nThe proposed simulator will integrate artificial intelligence techniques and environmental\, oceanographic\, ecological and economic models at multiple scales. It will enable scenario analysis and ultimately support decision-making that promotes the sustainability of the marine environment and of associated socioeconomic sectors\, fisheries and aquaculture\, for future generations. \n\nProgramming the simulator requires the integration of multiple high-quality datasets and the development of ad hoc numerical\, theoretical and computational methods. For this reason\, we propose a phased approach\, in three actions or proof-of-concept exercises\, which provides a realistic pathway and lays the foundations for the future multiscale and transdisciplinary marine simulator. \nAction 1 focuses on developing a simulator for extreme events and their effects. AI techniques will be used to establish predictive models to detect meteorological and hydrodynamic patterns and estimate the evolution of the atmosphere-ocean system at high resolution. The effects of extreme environmental weather events on marine ecosystems will also be modelled. By coupling different numerical simulation models with AI techniques\, the capacity to reproduce coastal hydrodynamics will be improved\, making it possible to forecast low-salinity events with a major impact on marine crops or flooding in inhabited areas. The mobilisation of pollutants into the marine environment\, including those from fires\, urban areas and emerging contaminants\, will also be simulated. The Ría de Arousa will be considered as an applied case. \nAction 2 focuses on developing an end-to-end fisheries model. Existing biophysical models in Galicia will be complemented with higher trophic-level models and socioeconomic modules to develop end-to-end models applicable to Galician fisheries. The model will focus on three species of particular ecological\, economic and cultural importance for Galicia: sardine\, hake and octopus. The resulting models will improve knowledge of Galicia’s marine ecosystem and its interactions with fisheries\, and will allow scenario simulations to assess the impacts of climate-scale changes\, including impacts on commercial species abundance and socioeconomic effects. \nAction 3 focuses on developing two digital twins for integrated multitrophic aquaculture. This action will formulate simulators for two types of multitrophic culture: off-shore systems and IMTA-RAS\, a recirculating aquaculture system. Macroalgae will be present in both types of culture. Physiological models for the species of interest will be defined and integrated\, first into a long-line model that considers hydrodynamic and environmental conditions\, and second into a RAS system. A digital mussel raft will integrate mussel physiological models with oceanographic models. The long-line and raft simulators will be integrated into an off-shore IMTA digital twin to predict the effects of changes in environmental variables on crop quality and productivity in the Ría de Ares\, and to simulate scenarios for crop optimisation. The IMTA-RAS digital twin will address fish-macroalgae-probiotic interactions and enable the rational design of precision IMTA-RAS cultures. \nThe models and software developments from each proof of concept will be made publicly available as far as possible in accordance with FAIR data-management guidelines. \n\nMarine Sciences Programme of Galicia\nIIM-CSIC coordinates\, together with CETMAR and the University of Vigo\, the new Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia\, whose main challenge is the protection and sustainable management of marine ecosystem services and which involves more than 89 Galician research groups. \nThis new strategy will act through three major lines: observation and monitoring of the marine and coastal environment; sustainable\, smart and precision aquaculture; and innovation\, knowledge and opportunities to adapt to change in the marine economy. \n \nThe Marine Sciences Programme of Galicia is one of seven Marine Sciences programmes in the Complementary R&D&I Plans with the Autonomous Communities\, part of Component 17\, Investment 1 of the EU Recovery\, Transformation and Resilience Plan. Its actions are funded through Next Generation EU and the European Maritime\, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (FEMP/FEMPA). \nOn this page you can see more details about the actions associated with the Programme led by the CSIC Institute of Marine Research. \nIIM-CSIC programme page

SUMMARY:Acceptance and knowledge of the theory of evolution among students and teachers in Ecuador
DESCRIPTION:FOLLOW IT VIA STREAMING  \n(link available on the day of the broadcast) \nThe “Encontros Espresso” are a series of talks held at IIM-CSIC with the aim of helping us get to know each other better\, learn more about the activity carried out at our centre and explore the world of marine science\, encouraging scientific and technical discussion and strengthening links between groups. Both research and technical staff can participate to share their work\, experiences and results. \nThese events are designed especially for our staff\, but everyone is invited to join through our streaming broadcast. \nThis new format will be held every two weeks\, at 10:00 in the IIM-CSIC Assembly Hall and will include complimentary coffee (“Espresso”) to help communication flow smoothly. \nWe open our first Encontros Espresso of 2024 with a visit from Emilio Rolán\, Professor of Genetics at the University of Vigo. \nAcceptance and knowledge of the theory of evolution among students and teachers in Ecuador\nThe theory of evolution is one of the most influential theories in the body of knowledge that describes our civilisation\, and yet it is one of the most disputed theories in many countries by different social groups. \nThe causes that explain the difficulty of accepting this theory are multifactorial and have been discussed for years. They include: \n1. Limited knowledge of how science works\, \n2. Limited knowledge of how evolutionary theory works\, \n3. Strong anti-evolutionary attitudes in some religions. \nA group of Spanish and Ecuadorian teachers developed a voluntary online survey\, which was distributed to hundreds of students and teachers in Ecuador to describe the degree of acceptance and knowledge of this theory. \nThe results show moderate acceptance and low knowledge of evolutionary theory. Students show a slight increase in acceptance compared with teachers\, and teachers also show lower acceptance in the region of Ecuador where more anti-evolutionary beliefs are present. \nEmilio Rolán Álvarez\nHe has been Professor of Genetics at the University of Vigo since 2010. His research has focused on adaptation\, sexual selection and speciation in microevolutionary processes using marine snails of the genus Littorina as model organisms\, through experimental\, genetic and simulation studies. He has also published several reviews in related fields\, such as sympatric speciation in L. saxatilis\, evolutionary studies in Littorina\, colour evolution in gastropods and the use of proteomics as an evolutionary tool. \nHe has worked on the development of new statistical tools for measuring sexual selection and sexual isolation\, and for reviewing the probabilities of statistical tests under multiple testing. \nMore recently\, he has turned his interest towards the impact of evolutionary theory on education\, reflected in his work published in PLOS ONE (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0238345). In addition\, a website has been developed to disseminate evolutionary theory in Spanish (http://evolucion.webs7.uvigo). gl/index.html).
