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.

It's been a minute since I posted... Here's an overlooked image I've just found while looking back at photos from the Isle of Harris for an upcoming article about long-term projects.

If the U.S. wants to secure critical minerals it should invest in mining and processing facilities on home soil rather than the seafloor.TIME
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.

Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦠🦐
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? Read about the mission here. #science #ClimateChange

#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!
