Thanks to humans, Salish Sea waters are too noisy for resident orcas to hunt successfully
University of Washington

Scientists report that underwater noise pollution — from both large and small vessels — forces northern and southern resident orcas to expend more time and energy hunting for fish. The din also lowers the overall success of their hunting efforts. Noise from ships likely has an outsized impact on southern resident orca pods, which spend more time in areas with high ship traffic.

Adaptive-Optical 3D Microscopy For Microfluidic Multiphase Flows
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.

What’s Really ‘Fueling’ Harmful Algae in Florida’s Lake Okeechobee?
Florida Atlantic University

Historically, Lake Okeechobee was thought to be impaired only by phosphorus, focusing efforts on reducing agricultural runoff. However, new comprehensive sampling across the Lake Okeechobee Waterway and its connected estuaries shows that toxic algal blooms also are driven by rising nitrogen levels from human waste and urban runoff. Increased nitrogen, worsened by extreme rainfall, significantly fuels bloom severity. Findings underscore the need for integrated nutrient management and improved wastewater treatment to protect the lake and its estuaries.

Unlocking plant defense: bacterial hijacking exposed
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study has uncovered how the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum disrupts plant defenses through its type III effector RipAF1. The research shows that RipAF1 modifies a critical plant protein, FBN1, via ADP-ribosylation, which alters the plant’s hormonal signaling balance, suppressing jasmonic acid (JA) and enhancing salicylic acid (SA) pathways.
