Invertebrate Embryology and Reproduction deals with the practical and theoretical objectives of the descriptive embryology of invertebrates, along with discussions on reproduction in these groups of animals.
Light-emitting reactions occur in some living organisms, and are also now extensively exploited by industry and various branches of biomedical science.
Bioadhesion is often defined as the state in which two materials, at least one of which is biological in nature, are held together for extended periods of time by interfacial forces.
As the volume of marine big data has increased dramatically, one of the main concerns is how to fully exploit the value of such data in the development of marine economy and marine science and technology.
El Pacífico colombiano es conocido por su alta biodiversidad, que resulta de sus características geológicas (diferentes tipos de rocas y procesos erosivos, y sedimentarios abundantes) y climáticas (temperaturas cálidas, alta humedad, baja radiación solar y alta pluviosidad, lo que se traduce en abundancia de corrientes de agua).
Sobre y en el borde de la plataforma continental en el Golfo de Salamanca, Caribe colombiano, hay fondos duros dispersos con variada fauna y flora coralina, denominados en su conjunto Banco de las Ánimas.
