New Study Finds That Parasites Can Drain Energy from Hosts Prior to Infection

A new study by Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences has found that a species of brain-infecting parasite can disrupt the metabolism of its host—the California killifish—both before and after infection.

Marine animals live where ocean is most ‘breathable,’ but ranges could shrink with climate change

September 16, 2020 sarah Jonas Climate Change, Marine animals, Marine Biodiversity, Marine Biology, Marine Conservation, Marine Ecology, Metabolism, Ocean, Oceans, Oxygen, Physiology

Research shows that many marine animals already inhabit the maximum range of breathable ocean that their physiology allows. The findings are a warning about climate change: Since warmer waters harbor less oxygen, stretches of ocean that are breathable today for a species may not be in the future.

Puget Sound eelgrass beds create a ‘halo’ with fewer harmful algae, new method shows

June 24, 2020 sarah Jonas Algae, Dinoflagellates, Harmful Algal Blooms, Marine Ecology, Puget Sound, University of Washington

Genetic clues show that eelgrass growing underwater along Puget Sound shorelines is associated with fewer of the single-celled algae that produce harmful toxins in shellfish. The evidence shows this effect extends 45 feet beyond the edge of the eelgrass bed.
