Pennsylvania State University scientists analyzed images of impacted and non-impacted deep sea corals to characterize their symbiotic relationship with brittle stars and determine if brittle stars influenced coral recovery from the Deepwater Horizon spill.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Another example of how more intact ecological systems can better withstand perturbations and anthropogenic disturbance.

The development and survival of an important group of marine invertebrates known as sea hares is under threat from increasing boat noise in the world's oceans, according to a new study. Sea hares usually hatch from their eggs to swim away and later feed on toxic alga but this study found that when exposed to playback of boat noise, more eggs failed to develop and those that hatched were more likely to die.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Very interesting. Yet another example of the diversity of pollution we are exposed to and how those impacts can be surprising.
