EGOMARS (Embedded groundwater proxies in marine shells) mission dedicated to the study of the lambi, "Strombus gigas". To better understand and predict how global changes affect, or are affected by, marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, it is crucial to study the functioning of benthic and pelagic ecosystems, with a comprehensive and integrated approach, from viruses to top predators.
