A new species of venomous Portuguese man-of-war, Physalia mikazuki, has been discovered in northern Japan. Genetic evidence confirmed it as distinct from tropical relatives and likely carried north by warming ocean currents. New Jellyfish Species Emerges in Northern Japan A student research team at ...

New AWI research reveals that jellyfish in the Arctic Ocean are benefiting from climate change and expanding further north. Climate change is exerting immense pressure on many marine organisms. However, jellyfish across the world’s oceans may find an advantage in increasing water temperatures,...

Jellyfish are consumed in greater quantities by fish in Greenlandic waters than previously thought, altering perceptions of the jellyfish’s role in marine ecosystems. Scientists long believed jellyfish to be a poor dietary choice for predatory fish, but recent research by a team from the Alfre...

Researchers in Texas detected H5N1 in wastewater from 10 cities, but the risk to humans is currently low. Ongoing surveillance is critical to monitor any potential changes in the virus that could increase its threat to public health. Researchers at UTHealth Houston and Baylor College of Medicine det...

Preventing F-actin buildup in aging fruit flies by altering specific genes enhanced cellular recycling, reduced waste accumulation, and extended their healthy lifespan by about 30%. Humans aren’t the only ones who become more forgetful with age—fruit flies experience it as well. With a lifespan of j...

Adopting a method from the medical field, this technique can separate substances with minimal dilution. Researchers at Rice University, in partnership with Guangdong University of Technology, have developed a groundbreaking method for treating high-salinity organic wastewater—waste streams that cont...

Ocean drifters once thought identical are actually several species. Genetics and ocean modeling uncover unexpected isolation. Bluebottles, also known as Portuguese man o’ war, were long thought to be a single species drifting across the world’s oceans. However, new research has revealed that they ar...
