What an amazing discovery!

Saw this work presented at the Cefas student conference. I love it - great example of how to make the absolute best out of what initially looks like a fieldwork disaster (study organism gets eaten…)

Today is #WorldOceansDay and I have traveled to Nice to join the 3rd UN Ocean Conference. Exciting that so many have come together to work for a healthy ocean environment and thriving marine life! Happy to be part of the Finnish delegation.

The COINS conference is kicking off with very strong and inspiring talks by @marienordstrom.bsky.social about ecology and food webs and @kellykrause.bsky.social about scientific visualizations

Thoroughly enjoying the COINS 2025 in Vilnius. Today’s speakers include Dr Eugene Koonin and Creative Director Kelly Krause (Nature) as well as yours truly. Thank you and congratulations to the organizers and Domas Sakalauskas in particular!

The Ocean Census Discovers Over 800 New Marine Species The Ocean Census, the largest global mission to discover ocean life reveals over 800 newly discovered marine species.

🌊 Ocean Census scientists have identified 800+ new marine species using AI imaging & DNA analysis. From deep-sea crustaceans to jellyfish, the findings highlight how little we know about #ocean biodiversity. What else might the deep sea be hiding? 🌏🧪

Global food production has resulted in significant biodiversity loss, research shows As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change and food insecurity, the need for sustainable food production has taken on a new urgency.

"We need a fundamental shift in how we produce food—one that recognizes that food production efficiency comes at the cost of ecosystem robustness and the loss of #biodiversity. By mimicking nature's complex mosaic of habitats, we can strengthen the resilience of food webs." 🌐🧪🌎

Global niche partitioning of purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding among ocean microbes Global marine microbial marketplace for DNA building blocks drives biogeochemical cycling and ecological signaling in the ocean.

Global niche partitioning of purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding among ocean microbes

doi.org/10.1126/scia...

An abundant phytoplankton feeds a global network of marine microbes The abundant phytoplankton Prochlorococcus shed extra compounds into their surroundings, which are then taken up by other organisms, MIT researchers have found. This “cross-feeding” may play a large r...

”Through this cross-feeding interaction, Prochlorococcus could be helping many microbial communities to grow sustainably, simply by giving away what it doesn’t need. And they’re doing so in a way that could set the daily rhythms of microbes around the world.”
