 Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyCorals cozy up with bacterial buddies Corals may let certain bacteria get under its skin, according to a new study by researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and soon to be published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. The study offers the first direct evidence that Stylophora pistillata, a species of reef-building coral found throughout the Indian and west Pacific Oceans, harbors bacterial denizens deep within its tissues.

Global Biogeochemical CyclesHarvard researchers warn of legacy mercury in the environment Environmental researchers at Harvard University have published evidence that significant reductions in mercury emissions will be necessary just to stabilize current levels of the toxic element in the environment. So much mercury persists in surface reservoirs (soil, air, and water) from past pollution, going back thousands of years, that it will continue to persist in the ocean and accumulate in fish for decades to centuries, they report.

Marine Ecology Progress SeriesStudy shows 'dead zone' impacts Chesapeake Bay fishes A 10-year study of Chesapeake Bay fishes by researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science provides the first quantitative evidence on a bay-wide scale that low-oxygen "dead zones" are impacting the distribution and abundance of "demersal" fishes -- those that live and feed near the Bay bottom.

Nature GeoscienceMesoscale ocean eddies impact weather Not only large-scale ocean currents impact weather but also relatively small eddies, as a new study by scientists at ETH Zurich reveals. The researchers therefore recommend to account for these eddies in weather prediction models. Contact: Nicolas Gruber

PLOS ONEIn subglacial lake, surprising life goes on Lake Vostok, buried under a glacier in Antarctica, is so dark, deep and cold that scientists had considered it a possible model for other planets, a place where nothing could live. However, work by Dr. Scott Rogers, a Bowling Green State University professor of biological sciences, and his colleagues has revealed a surprising variety of life forms living and reproducing in this most extreme of environments.

Society for Experimental Biology 2013 Annual MeetingFlipping fish adapt to land living Researchers have found that the amphibious mangrove rivulus performs higher force jumps on land than some other fishes that end up on land. This new study shows that unlike the largemouth bass, which makes very few excursions on land, the mangrove rivulus, which can live out of water for extended periods, has a strong jumping technique on land to locate new food resources, avoid predators, escape poor water conditions and also to return to the water.

Society for Experimental Biology 2013 Annual MeetingTreating oil spills with chemical dispersants: Is the cure worse than the ailment? Treating oil spills at sea with chemical dispersants is detrimental to European sea bass. A new study, to be presented at the Society for Experimental Biology meeting in Valencia on July 6, suggests that although chemical dispersants may reduce problems for surface animals, the increased contamination under the water reduces the ability for fish and other organisms to cope with subsequent environmental challenges.

Society for Experimental Biology 2013 Annual MeetingIt smells fishy: Copper prevents fish from avoiding danger Fish fail to detect danger in copper-polluted water. A new study, to be presented at the meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology on July 5, shows that fish cannot smell a danger odor signal emitted by other fish in waters contaminated with copper.
