Their leading hypothesis is that the young cetaceans are dying from a bacterial infection, but experts are still trying to figure out why this year’s mortality rates are so high

Their leading hypothesis is that the young cetaceans are dying from a bacterial infection, but experts are still trying to figure out why this year's mortality rates are so high. Adults have also been washing up dead, possibly because of a toxic algal bloom

Lakes emit as much methane (CH4) as agriculture. A team from the University of Liège has just shown that, in 79 African lakes, bacteria living on the surface of microalgae act as a natural filter. The greener the water becomes, the more these bacteria (known as methanotrophs) break down this powerful greenhouse gas.

A study conducted at the University of Liège shows that methanotrophic bacteria act as natural filters to mitigate the impact of lake pollution on global warming.

The Kelvin waves linked to El Niño are generated in the far western equatorial Pacific in response to bursts of westerly winds that weaken trade winds along the equator

Scientists warned for months that the oceanic Kelvin waves associated with El Niño could bring higher sea levels and far-reaching impacts.

"Scientists describe Bubbles’ unusual—and gross—feeding strategy in a study published September 13 in the journal Ecology and Evolution. They say their study represents one of the first detailed descriptions of kleptoparasitism, or food stealing, in cetaceans, the group of marine mammals that includes dolphins, whales and porpoises."

Scientists recorded 11 instances of Bubbles successfully snacking this way. They mark some of the first detailed observations of kleptoparasitism, or food stealing, in cetaceans, the group of marine mammals that includes dolphins, whales and porpoises
