🕷 NEW: On an Australian #research expedition, marine biologist Jérôme Mallefet tested thousands of deep-sea specimens for light production in a darkroom aboard a research vessel.

Two giant sea #spider species, Colossendeis tasmanica and C. minor, glowed along the undersides of their legs when chemically stimulated. The researchers suspect the trait may be borrowed from #anemones the spiders eat, or used to find #prey.

These deep-sea spiders give off an otherworldly glow

An expedition of a deep-sea trench near Australia uncovered the eerie sea spider specimens, whose glow may have been chronicled in 19th century documents.

🐙 NEW: Researchers first filmed #Octopus insularis cycling between long quiet #sleep and short active bursts with #color and #texture changes every 30 to 40 minutes.

A sleeping octopus doesn't just go still, its skin flickers through color changes and texture shifts, with twitches recurring every 30 to 40 minutes, a second, more active sleep stage that a later brain-recording study found produces neural activity resem

These fleeting episodes of neural activity suggest octopuses may experience a second sleep stage—one that looks suspiciously like dreaming.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is the planet's most consequential mode of interannual climate variability, functioning as a coupled ocean-atmosphere cycle that alternates between warming (El Niño) and cooling (La Niña) phases. Driven by anthropogenic global warming, this historically natural cycle is fundamentally restructuring planetary atmospheric circulation.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦭🦻 A #research team used #3D CT scans to solve how #seals hear in both #air and #water.

They found that cavernous tissue in seal #ears fills with blood during dives to conduct #underwater #sound with less than 1% signal loss. The #adaptation traces to early #marine seals 26 million years ago, though it initially came with a #hearing trade off.
