Scientists map the ocean’s invisible workforce of microbes

https://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/scientists-map-ocean-microbes-involved-in-carbon-cycle/
Dornsife.usc.edu
  • A USC Dornsife study maps ocean microbes by metabolic strategy, not just species, to explain the carbon cycle.
  • Researchers identified eight metabolic groups that describe how microbes obtain and use nutrients.
  • Generalist microbes dominate nutrient-rich coastal waters, while specialists prevail in open oceans.
  • The framework could improve climate models by simplifying microbial diversity into functional groups.
  • Study builds on 2025 work showing copiotrophs and oligotrophs explain large-scale carbon patterns.
  • The researchers caution data gaps and model assumptions limit accuracy.
  • Future work includes more lab experiments and better genomic data to refine the model.
  • The study was published in Science Advances and led by Naomi Levine.
  • The 2025 study by Zakem and Fuhrman’s group provided a comparative backdrop.

Second wave of South Australia’s toxic algal bloom could be imminent, scientist warns

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/30/toxic-algal-bloom-south-australia-second-wave-possible
Theguardian.com
  • A second wave of South Australia’s toxic algal bloom could be imminent as algae levels rise near the Eyre Peninsula, according to oceanographer Dr. Jochen Kaempf.
  • In late April the bloom appeared to dissipate across most of the state, but Bickers Island still showed high toxin levels.
  • Testing later showed a sharp rise, with Bickers Island at 348,080 cells per litre and elevated readings at six of 32 sites.
  • Experts warn that cooler months could still extend the bloom’s reach, moving northwards toward Whyalla.
  • Environmental researchers describe a long recovery tail for ecosystems damaged by the 2025 bloom.
  • Community groups, including OzFish, launched restoration projects along Adelaide’s coastline.
  • Scientists track bloom movement using ocean-current data to predict future spread.
  • Giant cuttlefish migrations near Point Lowly may be affected as the bloom returns.
  • Officials emphasize continued monitoring and regional habitat restoration efforts.

Air pollution slows lung growth during childhood, UK study shows

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/29/air-pollution-slows-lung-growth-childhood-uk-study
Theguardian.com
  • Researchers followed over 5,000 people born in and around Bristol since the 1990s to assess lung growth across life stages.
  • Higher air pollution exposure during pregnancy and early childhood slowed lung development into early adulthood.
  • The greatest impact on lung growth occurred during adolescence, a period of accelerated development.
  • Lung function was measured with spirometry by trained technicians to assess respiratory health.
  • Pollution exposure estimates included particle pollution and nitrogen dioxide from traffic and fossil gas boilers.
  • Even after accounting for prematurity and home conditions, pollution effects on lung growth remained relevant.
  • The study links small early-life differences to potential long-term health risks.
  • Lower childhood lung growth may increase vulnerability to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases later in life.
  • Researchers emphasize reducing exposures to protect children's environments.
  • The Bristol-based findings echo earlier work showing improved air quality can aid lung growth.

https://www.princeton.edu/news/2026/05/29/princeton-scientists-identify-first-experimental-evidence-co-extinction-connection
Princeton.edu
  • Elephants' disappearance led to a 67% drop in dung beetle abundance and a 23% loss of species in exclosures.
  • The study provides experimental evidence of co-extinction, linking large mammals to dependent invertebrates.
  • Exclosures at Mpala Research Centre allowed researchers to compare ecosystems with and without elephants over decades.
  • Dung beetles contribute to soil aeration, nutrient cycling and seed dispersal, highlighting their ecological importance.
  • The findings emphasize the issue of ecosystem services loss when keystone species vanish.
  • The research combined molecular techniques, DNA barcoding and classic fieldwork for robust findings.
  • The study strengthens the link between elephant presence and maintenance of dung beetle biodiversity.
  • The Science paper documents that elephants influence dung beetle diversity and ecosystem functions.
  • Researchers found that some dung beetles adapt to the absence of elephants by using dung from smaller animals.
  • The research team included Finote Gijsman, Ciara M. Nutter and Robert Pringle among others.
