Discovering ancient life through chemical evidence preserved in rocks.
Molecular fossils offer insights into ancient life forms by preserving organic compounds within rocks. These remnants, derived from biological molecules like lipids and proteins, act as signatures of past organisms, revealing their structure, function, and evolutionary pathways. Analyzing these molecular fossils using advanced techniques helps reconstruct ancient ecosystems, understand ancient organisms’ biology, and discern their […]
Zooplankton adapt in hypoxia, affecting carbon pump off Peru.
Zooplankton adapt to hypoxia in the Humboldt Current off Peru by adjusting their metabolic processes and behaviors. During low-oxygen conditions, these organisms alter their vertical migration patterns, reducing their movement to higher oxygenated zones. This adaptation influences their feeding and metabolism, affecting the transfer of organic matter and nutrients through the water column. Consequently, changes […]
