Short description

Signals in the Sea performs hypothesis driven research in pelagic chemical ecology. We isolate and identify signal molecules, explore how they are transmitted and what effect they have in the responding organisms and in the pelagic ecosystem. The project is multicisciplinary, with chemists and biologists working together on the same research questions.
