These bacteria don't even carry genes for obtaining energy from carbohydrates... their only source of energy is the amino acid #arginine, provided by the #coral."

  2. Miles of mycelia forming a network, a sort of internet for the forest, letting trees send messages to each other. What would the protocol be like? What might it sound like?

  8. The secret of the world's richest underwater habitat
    bbc.com/future/article/2024101

    "The #CoralTriangle in #SouthEastAsia is the most diverse place on Earth in terms of marine habitats. What caused the diversity? In the early 2010s, the team collected about 8 tonnes of fossil-rich rock from #Borneo, which yielded over 200 #coral species, from up to 30 million years ago. When they compared them to the species living there today, they made a surprising discovery: many of them are still there."
