Porpoises seem to cooperate in surprisingly sophisticated group hunting
When sailing along on the seas and you suddenly spot a porpoise's fin in the distance, chances are that you have only encountered a single animal. Porpoises are most often seen alone, but new research now suggests that they also roam in groups—and even enter into a sophisticated collaboration when hunting.https://phys.org/news/2021-06-porpoises-cooperate-surprisingly-sophisticated-group.html

Mangroves and seagrasses absorb microplastics
Mangroves and seagrasses grow in many places along the coasts of the world, and these 'blue forests' constitute an important environment for a large number of animals. Here, juvenile fish can hide until they are big enough to take care of themselves; crabs and mussels live on the bottom; and birds come to feed on the plants.https://phys.org/news/2021-05-mangroves-seagrasses-absorb-microplastics.html

A rich marine algal ecosystem existed 600 million years earlier than previously thought
The first photosynthetic oxygen-producing organisms on Earth were cyanobacteria. Their evolution dramatically changed the Earth allowing oxygen to accumulate into the atmosphere for the first time and further allowing the evolution of oxygen-utilizing organisms including eukaryotes. Eukaryotes include animals, but also algae, a broad group of photosynthetic oxygen-producing organisms that now dominate photosynthesis in the modern oceans. When, however, did algae begin to occupy marine ecosystems and compete with cyanobacteria as important phototrophic organisms?https://phys.org/news/2021-04-rich-marine-algal-ecosystem-million.html

Location, location, location: New research on glycogen storage
When a group of cyclists set off to climb Mount Etna on the 3rd stage of Giro d'Italia today, they will have definitely eaten large amounts of carbohydrates in the form of pasta, rice or potatoes within the past few days. It is well known that large amounts of carbohydrates in the diet lead to increased storage of sugar molecules inside the muscle cells called glycogen, which enables our muscles to work at a very high intensity for a long period of time.//www.pyrotek-europe.com/news/2020-10-glycogen-storage.html

In the 1600s, two private chapels were erected as family burial sites for two noble families. One in the town Svendborg in Denmark, the other in Montella, Italy.
