Highlights
The marine environment accounts for an important part of the earth biodiversity, featuring several types of ecosystems, and is at the origin of life
Marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms are very diverse, and are sometimes, in particular for the latter, the result of intricate evolutionary history. This biodiversity, encounters in many different habitats, shapes various types of abiotic and biotic interactions which influence the biology of the organisms and the functioning of ecosystems
The second integrates heterogeneous datasets within a unique integrative framework, such as networks or dedicated modelings that describe the marine systems of interest
Summary
The marine environment accounts for an important part of the earth biodiversity, featuring several types of (even extreme) ecosystems, and is at the origin of life. To better understand these natural processes, marine scientists historically considered as valuable to gather and interface data obtained at different levels of analysis (molecular, cellular, tissue/organ, organism/individual, population, community, ecosystem), and to conduct interdisciplinary research making use of principles, knowledge and tools of different fields including biology, ecology, mathematics, physics, and more recently computer sciences.
