Antarctic robot reveals thousands of icefish nests in Weddell Sea
Scientists using a robotic explorer have discovered over a thousand organized fish nests beneath Antarctica's Weddell Sea, exposed after a massive iceberg calved in 2017. The nests, built by yellowfin noties, form geometric patterns on the seafloor and highlight a thriving ecosystem in extreme conditions. This finding underscores the need to protect the region as a marine sanctuary.
Corals may be adapting to rising ocean temperatures
A new study suggests that some coral species are showing signs of adaptation to warmer waters caused by climate change. Researchers observed corals in Hawaii surviving higher temperatures than expected. This finding offers a glimmer of hope amid widespread coral bleaching events.
