  1. When elements of a #foodchain are lost, this can have #ecologicalimpacts with other species getting more abundant. N. Hammerschlag et al. (2025) report a sharp #decline in the #whiteshark population in #FalseBay, South Africa, possibly due to attacks by #orcas. This has implications for Cape fur seals and sevengill sharks.

  7. New clam species discovered in South Africa's #kelp forest phys.org/news/2024-07-clam-spe paper: zookeys.pensoft.net/article/12

    This small #clam, which is only 2 mm in length, spends its life crawling between the spines of #SeaUrchins. The #NewSpecies has so far only been found in one locality in #FalseBay, #SouthAfrica, where it was found attached to the burrowing #SeaUrchin Spatagobrissus mirabilis in coarse gravel at a depth of about 3 m. It has not been observed free-living, without the host urchin.
