International Conference on Oceanic Trophic Ecology and Nutrient Cycling (ICOTENC - 26)

This track focuses on the intricate relationships within marine food webs and the factors influencing trophic dynamics. Researchers are invited to present studies that elucidate species interactions and energy transfer in various marine ecosystems.

This session will explore the processes and mechanisms of nutrient cycling in oceanic systems. Contributions that highlight the role of biogeochemical cycles in supporting marine biodiversity and ecosystem health are encouraged.

This track aims to showcase innovative modeling approaches that simulate ecological processes in marine environments. Discussions will include the application of models to predict changes in species distributions and ecosystem functioning under various scenarios.

This session will address the effects of climate change on marine species and ecosystems. Papers that investigate shifts in species distributions, phenology, and community structure due to changing oceanic conditions are particularly welcome.

This track will focus on methodologies for assessing marine habitats and developing effective conservation strategies. Contributions that integrate ecological data with policy implications for marine resource management are encouraged.

This session will explore the concept of ecological resilience in the face of anthropogenic pressures and natural disturbances. Researchers are invited to discuss factors that enhance or diminish resilience in marine ecosystems.

This track will delve into the adaptive strategies of marine species in response to environmental changes. Studies that examine evolutionary processes and phenotypic plasticity in marine organisms are highly encouraged.

This session will highlight the essential services that marine ecosystems provide to human societies. Contributions that quantify and assess the economic and ecological value of marine biodiversity are particularly relevant.

This track will investigate the complex interactions and feedback mechanisms within marine food webs. Papers that analyze trophic relationships and their implications for ecosystem stability are welcome.

This session will focus on innovative techniques for monitoring and assessing the health of marine environments. Researchers are invited to present methodologies that enhance our understanding of ecological changes and their drivers.

This track will explore the interconnections within trophic networks and their role in maintaining ecosystem functioning. Contributions that examine the implications of these networks for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management are encouraged.
