One of the biggest mysteries of evolution is how species first developed complex vision. Jellyfish are helping scientists solve this puzzle, as the group has independently evolved eyes at least nine separate times. Different ...
Tropical reefs might look like inanimate rock, but these colorful seascapes are built by tiny jellyfish-like animals called corals. While adult corals build solid structures that are firmly attached to the sea floor, baby ...
Thousands to millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean annually, but where they end up is poorly understood.
Sixty-five miles southwest of Chicago, a small hill that looks like a prop from an Indiana Jones movie breaks up the flat, monotone landscape. Consisting of shale, sandstone and rocks from an old coal mine, the waste pile—located ...
Machine learning and supercomputing have brought about a revolution in computational drug discovery. More therapeutic candidates, like antibodies that bind to and fight the SARS-CoV-2 virus, can be explored and simulated ...
Scientists at the University of South Florida Optical Oceanography Lab, the point people for tracking the floating mats of seaweed called sargassum, are predicting what could be the state's worst seaweed season. In the latest ...
Piles of smelly seaweed have washed ashore on Miami Beach and Key Biscayne, a stinky reminder that this is sargassum season.
An international team of researchers has developed BiaPy, an open-code artificial intelligence platform that facilitates the analysis of biomedical images using deep learning techniques. The work has been published in Nature ...
Marine food webs are highly complex. Until now, researchers have been unable to understand exactly how they are affected by climate change, overfishing and other threats. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht ...
Jellyfish are among the oldest animals on Earth, found in all the world's oceans and serve as valuable model systems for biological research. Microbiologists at Kiel University (CAU) have now shown that the asexual reproduction ...
