A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

The study, led by biologists at Harvard University, found that the slugs build sac-like structures known as kleptosomes out of their own cells in which the chloroplasts are stashed. The kleptosomes ...

Stanford study shows ocean biomass has risen over 540 million years, linking biodiversity to long-term ecosystem health.

Cyanobacteria flourish in warm, nutrient-rich water. Nutrients from improperly applied fertilizers or manure runoff can feed the algae, leading to rapid bloom formation. These blooms often appear as ...

Shell-rich rocks trace a mostly upward climb in ocean life, with each mass extinction slashing both diversity and biomass ...

Modern-day environments in Antarctica contain ponds filled with life forms that closely resemble early multicellular ...

The experiments show a real chance of creating self-sufficient, closed-loop living spaces using shelters made from ...
