How do baby algae come into being ? | CNRS in English

Suppose the different modes of reproduction in algae are not yet known. And what if a small crustacean played a key role in the process? At the biological station in Roscoff, Brittany, scientists have been studying the life cycle of algae for over a century. Today’s researchers are still making groundbreaking discoveries concerning these ancestral organisms. 🧑‍🔬 With the intervention of:

Philippe Potin (CNRS), Laboratory of Integrative Biology of Marine Models (LBI2M - CNRS/Sorbonne Université)
Myriam Valero (CNRS) et Emma Lavaut (CNRS), laboratory Evolutionary Biology and ecology of Algae (EBEA - CNRS/Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile/Sorbonne Université/Université australe du Chili).
Alexandre Berthelot, France Haliotis
