🦥💩 Three-toed #sloths risk #predator attacks on the #forest floor once a week to maintain a complex #ecosystem within their fur.

The dangerous routine allows sloth moths to reproduce and promotes nutrient-rich #algae growth, which provides the slow-moving #mammals with essential #camouflage and a potential supplemental #food source.

While organizing my office, I came across this book 😮
At one point in my scientific career, I had hoped to use Chlamydomonas in my research 😏
It looks like that won’t be happening after all, but I’ll still keep these books in my office. They look pretty 😊

The team used an acidic solution to trigger a sustained blue glow from the organisms. These living structures could eventually serve as battery-free light sources or sensors that detect environmental toxins.

How did plants evolve to cope with such a challenging and changing habitat?

It turns out the answer is in 600 million years of stress! A research team led by our Uni compared algae and plants spanning million years of independent evolution. Using advanced bioinformatic methods, they pinpointed a shared stress response network: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7740

Positive news about facultative symbiosis that enables surviving bleaching in some corals, i.e., an ability to let go of their endosymbiont algae and then recover them:

Antarctic #krill can lock away similar levels of #carbon as #seagrass, #mangroves https://phys.org/news/2024-09-antarctic-krill-similar-carbon-seagrass.html

Antarctic krill sequester similar amounts of C to key coastal #BlueCarbon habitats: Emma Cavan et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52135-6

"Krill are extremely numerous #crustaceans that live around #Antarctica. They eat #algae that take carbon out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis. When krill poo or molt their exoskeletons, the carbon sinks into the #DeepSea where it can stay for a very long time."

Complex #life began to develop earlier, and over a longer span of time, than previously believed.

Nee findings indicate that complex organisms evolved long before there were substantial levels of #oxygen in the #atmosphere, something which had previously been considered a prerequisite to the #evolution of complex life.

The #earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, with the first #microbial life forms appearing over 4 billion years ago.

These organisms consisted of two groups – #bacteria and the distinct but related #archaea, collectively known as #prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes were the only form of life on earth for hundreds of millions of years, until more complex eukaryotic cells including organisms such as #algae, #fungi, #plants and #animals evolved.

Previous ideas on how and when early prokaryotes transformed into complex #eukaryotes has largely been in the realm of speculation. Estimates have spanned a billion years, as no intermediate forms exist and definitive fossil evidence has been lacking.

By collecting evidence from multiple #gene families in multiple biological systems and focusing on the features which distinguish eukaryotes from prokaryotes, researchers were able to begin to piece together the developmental pathway for complex life. 

They obtained evidence that the transition began almost 2.9 billion years ago – almost a billion years earlier than by some other estimates –  suggesting that the nucleus and other internal structures appear to have evolved significantly before #mitochondria.

The process of cumulative complexification seems to have taken place over a much longer time period than previously thought.
