Marine plastic #pollution leaches bioactive chemicals, such as the industrial lubricant oleamide, into the ocean, mimicking natural biological signals and fundamentally altering the behaviors and interactions of marine predators, like octopuses, and their prey.

Marine Plastic Pollution Alters Octopus Predator-Prey Encounters

More than 350,000 chemicals are used worldwide, and many find their way into the ocean

FAU researchers discover novel bacteria in Florida’s stranded pygmy sperm whales

Pygmy sperm whales are elusive deep divers rarely seen alive. Scientists rely on stranded individuals, especially along the southeastern U.S., to study them. Researchers analyzed more than 20 years of stranding data and identified three previously unknown Helicobacter genotypes in whale stomach tissue. Detected through histopathology, molecular diagnostics and DNA sequencing, the bacteria were linked to ulcers and inflammation, expanding knowledge of this little-known species and ocean microbes.
