Discovery of #SeaStarWastingDisease cause sheds light on #kelp forest collapse and recovery https://phys.org/news/2025-07-discovery-sea-star-disease-kelp.html
"This comes more than a decade after the start of the marine epidemic that has killed billions of #SeaStars... The 4-year investigation eventually pinpointed the microbial culprit: a strain of the bacterium #Vibrio pectenicida... The loss of #SunflowerSeaStars, which support #KelpForests by feeding on kelp-eating #SeaUrchins, has had widespread and lasting effects on ecosystems"

#Jellyfish are taking over the #oceans due to #ClimateChange
Written by Inaara Thawer
on Nov 1, 2022"Climate change and human activity have impacts that ripple through all ecosystems. Their negative effects can lead to population imbalances across these various #ecosystems. While populations of many species are declining because they are unable to survive the rapid #EnvironmentalChanges, this is often not the case for venomous aquatic life like #SeaUrchins and jellyfish. In fact, these populations are increasing across the globe, with damaging effects on other living #AquaticOrganisms and human activity."

Scientists film marine creatures under sea ice in East Antarctica
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-14/scientists-film-sealife-under-bunger-hills-east-antarctica/104811258"Plunging to depths of up to 50m, the drone captures an array of colour and life. Red #SeaUrchins can be seen clinging to boulders covered in pink #algae. Orange #SeaCucumbers with small white tentacles are lying on the floor. #Jellyfish are floating above large yellow #sponges far below. Every now and again, schools of splotchy grey-and-white #fish surround the drone and try to nibble its camera."

New clam species discovered in South Africa's #kelp forest https://phys.org/news/2024-07-clam-species-south-africa-kelp.html paper: https://zookeys.pensoft.net/article/124517/
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.

We finally know for sure what a #trilobite ate
Tens of thousands of fossils later, we've found a trilobite with a full #stomach. Contents appeared to be #ostracods, small #crustacean that is common today (there are 13,000 existing ostracod species). Some of these appear to be larval versions. There are also fragments of thin shells that probably were derived from #shellfish like #clams and #mussels, as well as some pieces of an e#chinoderm (think #starfish & #seaurchins)

For those worried about not interacting outside of your own area, the federated timeline on #mastodon is far more fascinating. From #Germanfolklore to #seaurchins to #murdermysteries from the 1950s all within 10 minutes of activity.
No regrets on my migration. #BirdtoHerd!
