MILJØFORSK-Miljøforskning for en grønn samfunnsomstilling

Marine sponge biodiversity from genes to ecosystems: delivering knowledge and tools for sustainable management and conservation

Svamper er en av de eldste dyregruppene i verden. Vi finner dem i alle marine økosystemer, fra tropene til polare hav, fra grunt vann til de største havdyp, i fjorder og undervannsgrotter. Svampene er svært viktige i de marine økosystemene fordi de gir ly og oppholdssted (habitat) til flere organ...
