    Interesting. The video clips are especially valuable for understanding their methods. So, these tests have been done... but what other sorts of learning tests might be possible? Are there any that might even show value in this species beyond just "what is possible for the bee nervous system to accomplish?"

  • Butterflyfishes, which are facultative corallivores in this region, have even been found to prefer SCTLD-infected coral

      Some species like the infected coral Maybe it has different properties or something

    You know, there are repositories of publicly available image/video data from coral reef surveys.... somewhere online. They make them available for people to devise creative ways of pulling data out of such raw material. Might be something to look into.

    This is a slide deck I used for a presentation to research teachers in Washington D.C. last year. I will also save a link to the crowd-sourced document we created in this session where teachers too our suggested model organisms, and then added in their suggestions as well.

    This is a crowd-sourced document I created for a session with high school research teachers in Washington D.C. in 2022. SAVE this document and use it to explore some of the more commonly-used model organisms for all sorts of biological research. There is a TON to explore here!

  • “The challenge that I see right now on U.S. farms is a virus getting into hogs,” Osterholm says. Pigs carry receptors similar to the ones found in both humans and birds, making swine a hog-heaven for bird flus that have potential to become a pandemic.

      How come pigs have similar receptors as us

    Be sure you are tagging articles when you bookmark them. I don't see any tags on this one, and I only see one on the other, "ice." Also... this is a SUPER interesting topic. However, we'd have way more than an uphill climb working with any sort of known pathogens (even potential pathogens) if we could even get our hands on them.

  • fish feed. The wastewater from soybean
  • processing can be converted into a nourishing, protein-rich food for farmed Asian sea bass, a team of scientists has discovered.
  • They worked with a local food processing company to rescue hundreds of liters of soybean wastewater, which they discovered was rich in two types of protein-accumulating microbes in particular, known as Acidipropionibacterium and Propioniciclava.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The sea bass that were fed the alternative microbe protein diet did have significantly lower weight to begin with, but that evened out as they grew. And, notably, the group that received the traditional feed diet had greater variability in their weight gain as they grew—whereas those fed the alternative microbe protein diet showed a more even accumulation of weight over the experiment’s course.
  • Meanwhile, the wastewater from other soybean uses goes unused—but according to the recent results, could feasibly tackle both of these sustainability challenges at once. Furthermore it’s not just soybean waste water, the researchers say: several agricultural processes create wastewater side streams that are rich in the combination of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus that’s needed to sustain a growing population of hungry, protein-accumulating bacteria.
  • Microbial community‐based protein from soybean‐processing wastewater as a sustainable alternative fish feed ingredient.

    Possible more efficient fish feed to reduce waste and benefit the environment as well as the economy.
