…By examining the chemical composition of their (#SeaSponges’) skeletons, which the creatures built up steadily over centuries, the researchers have pieced together a new history of those earliest decades of #warming. And it points to a startling conclusion: #Humans have raised #GlobalTemperatures by a total of about 1.7°C, or 3.1°F, not 1.2°C, the most commonly used value.

By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer In 2021, divers off the Turkish Aegean coast first observed dark stinging sponges dying in great numbers. Researchers have now sampled three species of pathogenic Vibrio bacteria, previously known to infect unrelated marine animals, from diseased and dying sponges. Evidence suggests that vibriosis may be a secondary illness that

Scientists raise alarm as bacteria are linked to mass death of sea sponges weakened by warming Mediterranean

In 2021, divers off the Turkish Aegean coast first observed dark stinging sponges dying in great numbers. Researchers have now sampled three species of pathogenic Vibrio bacteria, previously known to infect unrelated marine animals, from diseased and dying sponges. Evidence suggests that vibriosis may be a secondary illness that affects already weakened sponges, but is not necessarily the primary agent of the novel disease.
