Mashup Score: 2A study conducted off the coast of Biscay shows that cold-affinity algae species are gradually being replaced by warm-affinity ones - 9 day(s) ago
A study by the University of the Basque Country has analysed the impact of the rise in sea surface temperature on macroalgae communities over the last four decades. Points at various depths were investigated in a location off the coast of Biscay, and an increasing scarcity was observed in the number of cold-affinity structuring species, while small warm-affinity ones have proliferated. The researchers are warning that some ecological functions are in jeopardy as a result.

Mashup Score: 2Rediscovery of rare marine amoeba Rhabdamoeba marina - 5 month(s) ago
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have rediscovered and successfully cultivating Rhabdamoeba marina—a rare marine amoeba that has only been reported in two cases in the past century. Using this culture strain, they performed a comprehensive analysis of its genetic sequence, revealing for the first time the phylogenetic position of this enigmatic amoeba, and proposed a novel taxonomic classification based on their research findings.

Mashup Score: 0Sharks may be closer to the city than you think, new study finds - 2 year(s) ago
MIAMI— The world’s coastlines are rapidly urbanizing, but how this increased human presence may impact species living in the ocean is not fully understood. In a new study led by scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, researchers tracked the movements of three shark species, bull, nurse and great hammerhead, in relation to the city of Miami….
