PENGUINS AND CLIMATE CHANGE The climate crisis is impacting so many beloved and iconic animals including penguins. Everything we read sounds dire for many penguin species. A new scientific study “found that if climate change continues at its current rate, emperor penguins could virtually disappear by the year 2100 due to loss of Antarctic sea ice. AMMONITE - THE SHAPE OF LIFE Ammonites may be the most familiar fossil to us — aside from dinosaurs. What are those spiral rocks that seem to come in every size? Ammonites were molluscs, specifically cephalopods, most closely related to octopus and squid living today.. A variety of ammonite forms, from Ernst Haeckel's 1904 Kunstformen der Natur.

As the atmosphere has warmed due to human-driven climate change, the ocean has taken up an excessive amount of both heat and carbon dioxide. These changes are impacting many marine organisms now in ways we are just starting to understand — and likely in ways we don’t yetunderstand.

SEA STAR WASTING DISEASE Sea Star Wasting Disease. Sea Star Wasting Disease (SSWD) has decimated sea star populations around the world. Since the epidemic of dead, dissolving sea stars was discovered around 2013, scientists have been trying to figure out the cause of the disease. Researchers now think one cause may be that the sea stars cannot get enough oxygen.PHYLUM MOLLUSCA
Includes: Clams, Snails, Slugs, Nautilus, Squid, Octopus Molluscs show an amazing degree of diversity, yet all have certain features in common. The word mollusc comes from the Latin meaning “soft,” a good description of the group’s fleshy bodies. Of course, in an ocean filled with predators, a soft body is easily eaten. The early molluscs that happened to develop hard shells not onlyABOUT SPONGES
Sponges harbor a large community of bacteria. These bacteria capture phosphorus, a key nutrient, in the water and turn it into a form that is available for the coral reef community. Read about how the bacteria in sponges contribute to the reef community. Read about deep sea sponges and corals and the role they play in deep sea ecosystems inPHYLUM ANNELIDA
Includes: Polychaetes, Earthworms, Leeches Far from being lowly worms, annelids are impressively powerful and capable animals. Annelids are distinguished by ring-like external bands along their muscular body wall that coincide with internal partitions dividing their bodies intosegments.
MOLLUSCS: THE SURVIVAL GAME The ancient nautilus was the first mollusc to leave the sea floor. Their ancestors evolved a way to swim using jet propulsion and evolved a way to maintain buoyancy. The evolution of speedy fishes drove the next step in the survival game: speed and loss of the shell, as seen in squid. Octopuses returned to live on the bottom and evolved ECHINODERMS: THE ULTIMATE ANIMAL Echinoderms pump water into their tube feet, giving them power to move. They have light-sensing organs and can smell their way to food. Sea stars are formidable predators. We see their tube feet pry open a mussel and extrude the stomach into the mussel. A camera inside the mussel shows us actual footage of the stomach digesting the mussel. 2.D. ANIMAL CELLS HAVE MANY THOUSANDS OF GENES. Genetics 2. A typical cell of any organism contains genetic instructions that specify its traits. Those traits may be modified by environmental influences. As a basis for understanding this concept: d. Students know plant and animal cells contain many thousands of different genes and typically have two copies of every gene. The two copies (or alleles) of the gene may or may not be identical FLATWORMS: THE FIRST HUNTER 9:54. Flatworms, the first animal to hunt, are found in the ocean, freshwater, on land, and even inside other animals. The ancient flatworms were the first animals to develop a central nervous system and a head with a brain. The head had eyes—the first in the animal world. The flatworm body is bilateral—the first body plan with thatdesign.

PHYLUM ARTHROPODA
Includes: Crustaceans, Spiders, and Insects. Of the roughly one-and-a-quarter million named animals species, over one million are arthropods. They live in more habitats on earth than any other animal. The name arthropod means ‘jointed foot.’. All arthropods have segmented bodies. A jointed protective armor, called an exoskeleton,covers the

CLIMATE CRISIS AND OCEAN WARMING The earth is an ocean planet. Covering 70% of the globe, the ocean absorbs about 90% of the atmosphere’s heat. The world’s oceans interact with the global climate and weather: oceans influence the climate and weather locally and globally; and the climate can changethe oceans.
CNIDARIANS: LIFE ON THE MOVE Cnidarians come in various body shapes and have different ways of living. Corals are cnidarians that build reefs. One anemone, Stomphia, can swim away from predators by contracting its entire body. The jellyfish body plan is like an anemone that has been turned upside down and a diverse group of cnidarians thrives at all depths of theocean.
PHYLUM ANNELIDA
Includes: Polychaetes, Earthworms, Leeches Far from being lowly worms, annelids are impressively powerful and capable animals. Annelids are distinguished by ring-like external bands along their muscular body wall that coincide with internal partitions dividing their bodies intosegments.
PHYLUM ECHINODERMATA Includes: Sea Stars, Sea Lilies, Sea Urchins, Sea Cucumbers, Brittle Stars While the majority of animal body plans are bilateral with a distinct head and tail, echinoderms do not follow this pattern. While many echinoderms do begin life as a bilateral larva, later they become radial with five-part symmetry and no ECHINODERMS: THE ULTIMATE ANIMAL Echinoderms pump water into their tube feet, giving them power to move. They have light-sensing organs and can smell their way to food. Sea stars are formidable predators. We see their tube feet pry open a mussel and extrude the stomach into the mussel. A camera inside the mussel shows us actual footage of the stomach digesting the mussel.

Posted on May 21st, 2021 PROFESSOR AND DEPARTMENT CHAIR, EARTH & PLANETARY SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ Like so many kids Matthew loved dinosaurs when he was growing up in Vancouver, B.C. It wasn’t a direct route from “dinos” to his current career, though. He was lucky enough to take a geology class in the 12th grade and discovered he was fascinated by fossils and rocks and geology. And, like many future paleontologists, Matthew enjoyed the outdoors, boy scouts and hiking. In college he liked chemistry and geology but wasn’t thinking paleontology until he took a class in it and thought: “I can do this!” * Read more about Matthew Clapham COLIN HOWE PHD CANDIDATE, PENN STATE UNIVERSITY Posted on March 9th, 2021 Although Colin Howe is now living far from the ocean in school in Pennsylvania, his mind has always been on the ocean.

Posted on May 7th, 2021What
is paleontology? The word translates from the Greek as “old, being, science.” Paleontologists primarily use fossils for their study of “old beings.” Plants and animals are fossilized when they are covered by sediment and eventually minerals soak into the remains. Fossils are generally the hard parts like bones or shells. Or they can be evidence of the existence of ancient creatures like tracks andother traces.

Posted on April 20th, 2021 We’re celebrating Earth Month by highlighting the importance of biodiversity for all ecosystems on earth and the animal kingdom. “Biodiversity (from “biological diversity”) refers to the variety of life on Earth at all its levels,
from genes to ecosystems, and can encompass the evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life.” Biodiversity is the most complex feature of our planet. And, biodiversity is the most vital part of earth although it’s mostly undiscovered.

DID YOU KNOW? KIDS FIND FOSSILS Posted on May 24th, 2021In
2017 a nine-year old in New Mexico tripped and fell. What Jude Spark tripped on, he found out later, was the skull of a rare stegomastodon (an elephant-like creature) from 1.2 million years ago. In 2017 a five-year old enjoying a beach picnic in Homer, Alaska saw something odd. It turned out to be a very rare 10-million-year-old jawbone froma tapir

Scientists released a study showing that about three quarters of terrestrial nature has been shaped over 12,000 years by the land use of Indigenous and traditional peoples. Those land use practices included burning, hunting, species propagation, domestication and cultivation. The cause of the current biodiversity crisis is a result of intensifying and new uses of the biodiverse landscapes shaped and sustained by traditional societies. “ shows that high biodiversity is compatible with, and in some cases a result of, people living in these landscapes,” says Yadvinder Malhi at the University of Oxford. “Working with local and traditional communities, and learning from them, is essential if we are to try to protectbiodiversity.”
