An isopod crustacean (Idotea balthica) climbs along a stalk of red algae (Gracilaria gracilis).The organisms’ relationship is strikingly similar to that of a bee and flowering plant, a new study ...

It was long thought that animals only pollinated plants on land. However, in 2016 scientists discovered that zooplankton pollinate Thalassia testudinum, a sea grass species found in the Caribbean.

Sea creatures pollinate marine plants and algae, ... “If there’s too much [biofilm] growth, the red algae start to die,” Lavaut says—and the isopods help keep it clean.

The organism that causes red tide is back in waters off the coast of Southwest Florida. Samples collected by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission last week revealed … ...

The algae that causes red tide can result in toxic conditions for marine species. A sign warning of the red tide risk is displayed at Lido Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida, on March 15, 2023.

Red tides occur when algae — plant-like organisms that live in salt and freshwater — grow out of control and produce harmful toxins that can kill fish and sicken people and pets.

Researchers have solved one key piece of the molecular puzzle needed to dramatically improve plant productivity and increase carbon sequestration: They have successfully transferred key regions of a ...
