Getting bits and pieces of things going on in the world always makes my burn out and dysfunction feel very pragmatic.
Anyway, thinking about starting a reef tank. Thinking macroalgae and soft corals. Thoughts?

"In biology, all sex refers to is that there are two different kinds of gametes that must merge to make an embryo. A small one, sperm, and a big one, the egg. There are zero exceptions to this."
that last is not true! isogamy is common in microorganisms and found in many fungi and macroalgae.

If you’re still looking for a Halloween costume, this is your sign. 🌠 While the city of Gotham has a batMAN, our moody Olympic coast has the bat STAR. With spooky season in full swing, we thought it was time to shine a spotlight on this coastal critter. Read the blog: ecology.wa.gov/blog/october...

This thread would be too long to list the numerous impacts, but a few of them have implications for increasing climate resilience: Macroalgae diversity is higher, fish biomass is higher, fish grow bigger, and coral reefs recover quicker after bleacing events around seabird breeding islands.

But the transfer of nutrients doesn’t end there. The nutrients wash back into the surrounding ocean, or may get into the air as ammonia, and eventually land back in the ocean, where some of the same organisms seabirds eat take the nutrients back up, and the circle continues.

There is another non-animal B12 source: algae.
Certain edible macroalgae, such as dried purple laver (nori), can contain substantial amounts of bioactive B12.

The herbivorous sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii removes macroalgae & creates barrens. Understanding density-dependent processes governing its abundance will assist with addressing the challenges it poses in some jurisdictions in south-eastern Australia.

Seaweed farming might just be the coolest way to fight climate change! 🌊 It helps sequester CO2, boosts marine life, and even fuels our food security. Who knew the ocean could be such a hero? Check it out! https://cleantechnica.com/2025/10/13/sequestering-all-that-co2-in-macroalgae/

So this is a swab survey on macroalgae (and corals) for a ciliate! We are trying to understand its environmental distribution over time. Haven’t surveyed Bermuda before. Yes, the idea is to compare initially to qpcr loads.
