#News: Australia's Southern #ocean #kelp forests are melting away, 65% gone due to #climatechange induced #heatwaves ! 🌊🔥 Scientists are building biobanks to freeze sperm & eggs creating a #seaweed "insurance policy" #SaveOurOceans #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives theconversation.com/heat-is-de…

Heat is destroying Australia’s underwater forests. Seaweed biobanks could help save them

Many of Australia’s shimmering seaweed forests are disappearing as the oceans get hotter. It’s time for an insurance policy.

Decline in plankton across Northeast Atlantic sends stark warning for ocean health

Microscopic plankton are among the most important organisms on Earth. Phytoplankton produce around half of the oxygen we breathe, while plankton as a whole underpin marine food webs, support fisheries, help regulate carbon and sustain life across the…

Scientists reveal how baby turtles navigate thousands of miles with a hidden magnetic sense

Researchers taught young loggerhead turtles to associate certain magnetic fields with feeding, prompting a distinctive dance when they recognized the signal.

World's first legally binding treaty to protect oceans and marine life takes effect

The High Seas Treaty will govern about two-thirds of the planet's oceans including vast areas beyond any country's borders.

#News: #Climatechange is stopping southern right #whales from having babies! Warming oceans mean not enough food for mothers to survive pregnancy. We MUST ACT NOW to save our #ocean friends! 🌊🐋☠️ @palmoildetect.bsky.social #ProtectWhales #Boycott4Wildlife theconversation.com/southern-r…

Southern right whales are having babies less often, but why?

This reproductive slow down seems closely linked to climate-driven changes in the remote Southern Ocean.

Sunset, Felix Vallotton

I really enjoy the colors, he did interesting things with the clouds and how they catch the light. I don't watch the sunset enough.

Very nice study from Henshaw et al shows that #marine heterotrophic bacteria can sense and move towards cyanobacteria when the latter are infected with #viruses.

Presumably the signatures of early infection are a sign that nutrients from a lysed cell will be available soon.

This is a nice study that has implications for understanding the role of viruses in the #ocean.

Metabolites from intact phage-infected Synechococcus chemotactically attract heterotrophic marine bacteria - Nature Microbiology

The authors use time-resolved metabolomics and microfluidics to characterize enhanced heterotroph chemoattraction to metabolites released from cyanobacteria during early stages of phage infection.

Research on how bacteria and archaea interact with other members of the plankton food-web is much more advanced in #ocean systems compared to freshwaters, but still very much unknown. They are food, but we also know of many cases of apparent symbiosis between #bacteria and organisms, with bacteria providing bioluminescence, energy via photosynthesis, or B vitamins, but how common is this?

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦠🦐

#Copepod #zooplankton are the most numerous metazoans on the planet, and some have evolved into fantastical forms. Take Calocalanus pavo, the beautiful "peacock copepod", which has amazingly plumed antenna and caudal rami. It is small, ~1mm long, and uses the plumes to slow its sinking for feeding in the upper #ocean. It is famous for being very prominent in Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1904) plate 54 #watercolour paintings of copepoda.

It's humpback🐋 season but the only one I've seen so far this year was a glimpse from a plane last week.

Calm mornings are a good time to see them though.

Daily turnover of active giant virus infection during algal blooms revealed by single-cell transcriptomics

"A consistent percent of infected coccolithophores displayed the early phase of viral replication for several consecutive days, indicating a daily turnover and continuous virocell-associated metabolite production, potentially affecting the surrounding microbiome"

Happy to share our latest paper, in which we examined the timing at which different microbial groups colonized the ocean!

The first author (Carolina Martinez) is starting her lab at UC Santa Barbara in 2024 and is looking to recruit postdocs and PhD students, so if this looks interesting to you, please reach out to her!
