Scientists discovered that a microscopic single-celled creature living in the ocean uses the same genetic tools that animals use for complex life, suggesting our ancient ancestors may have grouped together before becoming truly multicellular. This finding rewrites what we thought we knew about how simple organisms became complex animals.
Every night, 10 billion tonnes of tiny sea creatures swim hundreds of meters to the ocean surface and back in the largest animal migration on Earth. Scientists now believe this massive movement could play a surprising role in fighting climate change.
Colorful zoantharians look identical in Brazil and Okinawa despite being separated by thousands of miles, puzzling scientists who discovered they may be nature's ultimate ocean travelers. As climate change threatens traditional coral reefs, these resilient creatures are thriving and offering hope for the future of our oceans.
