#plankton — Public Fediverse posts

Holoplanktonic #gastropods (#pteropods and #heteropods) are major components of modern Indo–West Pacific (IWP) #plankton yet their #fossil record in this region remains sparse. Expanding the spatial and temporal coverage of fossil data is essential for reconstructing #dispersal pathways of pelagic fauna within the IWP and understanding the origins of present-day #diversity https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.21046

Remember that thing about plants becoming less nutritious (mostly less protein and more sugar) with climate change?
<sarcastic>Great news, everyone!</sarcastic>
It also appears to apply to plankton.

Nitrosopumilus maritimus is a highly adaptable species of #marine #archaea that accounts for approximately 30% of the marine #microbial #plankton population and plays a vital role in regulating the ocean's biological and chemical balance amid climate change.

This amoeba from a Charles river culture featured in my solo exhibition that just came down- it started eating a dying flagellate- but the flagellate actually jumped out of its mouth! I’ve never seen that before. The amoeba did catch up with it and eat it tho. #sciart #microscopy #plankton

Be intrigued, be amazed, fall in love with #plankton. The microscopic larvae of horseshoe worms (phylum Phoronida) are beautiful. They were first 'discovered' in 1846 by J Muller and thought to be an adult animal he called an Actinotrocha. They are still known by two names, the actinotrocha or phoronid larva.

I've heard that crude #oil was formerly #plankton.

Although it is commonly asserted that plankton are not animals, the truth is that they can be of any biological kingdom. What makes an organism plankton is it's size and lack of motility.

Yet these key part of life at #sea is commonly overlooked and forgotten the the public. This paper shows the many benefits they give people, because we need a reminder from time to time.

#idw #Climate Marine heatwaves pose problems for coastal #plankton

Temperatures around the world continue to rise – and the #NorthSea is no exception. Yet, in addition to this gradual #warming, increasingly frequent and intense heat events also have consequences for marine organisms. When heatwaves are added, however, these alterations are amplified. The results have been published in three publications, most recently in #Limnology and #Oceanography.

"#Zooplankton were twice as common at shallow #seamounts than in the open ocean, while #shark biomass was 41 times higher... #FilterFeeders may benefit from prey being blown over the peak, and the peak may also stop prey species from retreating into deeper water... Also, some predators appear to use seamounts as hubs to gather, socialize, mate or rest"

Nuclear watchdog ASN mentions that limits were raised, but the article does not mention those limits. I'll be keeping a watchful EYE 👁️ on this story (and see what I can dig up...!) (From 2023: France’s #NuclearPower stations to limit energy output due to high river temperatures

By Euronews Green with Reuters
Published on 13/07/2023

"EDF is committed to adapting its facilities to #ClimateChange, a company spokesperson said. They added that since 2000, losses due to high river temperatures have represented an average drop of just 0.3 per cent of annual power production.

"The nuclear operator said previously a study it conducted showed last year's higher temperatures had no impact on biodiversity.

"However, a study conducted by French #nuclear watchdog #ASN saw a slight increase in #algae and #plankton growth around the #BugeyPlant during the #HeatWave. Fish populations were also affected through the autumn at the #SaintAlban plant.

"The watchdog stipulated it is currently impossible to distinguish the impact of the raised limits compared to the other #ecological effects of the #HeatWave, but it is continuing to monitor the river #biome."

It was great to talk to Adam Larson from FairScope at #OS2024 for @cosmicshambles.com The Planktoscopes are open-source, use cheap components, high quality and designed to bring the world of the small to everyone.

Better yet, wear clothes made of shorn #wool, #hemp, #bamboo, #flax, or #OrganicCotton.

How do you tackle #microplastics? Start with your washing machine.
Simple filters could help remove #microfiber pollution from your #laundry. But experts say a broader portfolio of solutions is needed to address the problem.

by Saqib Rahim, Apr 19, 2023

"As environmental challenges go, microfiber pollution has come from practically out of nowhere. It was only a decade or so ago that scientists first suspected our #clothing, increasingly made of #synthetic materials like #polyester and #nylon, might be major contributors to the global #plastic problem.

"Today a growing body of science suggests the tiny strands that slough off #clothes are everywhere and in everything. By one estimate, they account for as much as one-third of all microplastics released to the ocean. They’ve been found on #MountEverest and in the #MarianaTrench, along with tap #water, #plankton, shrimp guts, and our poo."
