Reduced N2 fixation in the tropical Atlantic Ocean during the warm late Pliocene - Nature Communications

Tropical Atlantic nitrogen isotope records show that N₂ fixation was reduced during the warm late Pliocene due to decreased global water column denitrification. It increased as Earth cooled into the P...

New study finds the "canary in the coal mine" for the #AMOC: a consistent decline of the western overturning circulation, down from 20 to 15 Sv during 2004-2023 at 26° N. 🌊 AMOC "could be at or near a critical tipping point, potentially leading to its collapse". www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Meridionally consistent decline in the observed western boundary contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Western boundary observations in the Atlantic suggest a meridionally consistent decline in the ocean overturning circulation.

Don't be a loser deep-sea snails with a yellow shells, be the snail the white arrow is pointing to: a black iron-clad snail with swords on your skin, capable of withstanding crushing temperatures and pressures. Don't be an average snail. Be the metal snail. Be the "sea pangolin"

The extreme unevenness in the completeness of the stratigraphic, and by implication fossil, record is formed by many processes. Apparently the most profound gap— the Great Unconformity, is driven by tectonics. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧪 ⚒️ #Geology #Paleobio

Osteichthyans--the bony fishes--are by far the most diverse group of living jawed vertebrates. Two papers out today in @nature.com feature remarkable new Chinese fossils that paint a picture of substantial morphological diversity among stem osteichthyans.
