#BirdFlu Is Infecting More #Mammals. What Does That Mean for Us? #H5N1, #avianflu#virus, killed tens of thousands of #marinemammals, and infiltrated American #livestock for first time.
H5N1, one of the many viruses that cause bird flu, had already killed at least 24,000 South American sea lions along the coasts in less than a year. Now comes for elephant seals.
Scientists are working quickly to assess how it is evolving and risk it poses to humans #Maskup

Marine Mammal Stocks in North Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Are Highly Vulnerable to Climate Change
September 20, 2023
A new study led by NOAA Fisheries outlines marine mammal populations’ estimated vulnerability to changing ocean conditions as part of ongoing Climate Vulnerability Assessments.
If don’t always look out my office window at the right time to catch them, but today I did. There are belugas feeding right near the water’s edge between the small boat harbor and Elderberry park. #anchorage#knikarm#marinemammals
Many people are surprised to learn that ants sleep. Even more surprising is the evidence that suggests they may dream (RAE is a sleep state found in ants and bees characterized by Rapid Antennae Movements and possibly similar to the REM sleep in mammals)
Ants sleep frequently and in funny locations. Generally they will rest their thorax and gaster on the ground, fold their antennae and be very still. They nap for 10min up to an hour. Queen ants will sleep for up to 4 hours at a time.

There was an article (covered in the podcast linked below) that analyzed how elephant seals sleep. But also briefly touches on the sleep strategies of other marine mammals. Was kind of interesting to find out that different species brains work differently in this regard. #Nature#Science#Sleep#MarineMammals#Seals
