PFAS detected in dolphin milk may pass from mothers to calves

Researchers have found that a group of chemicals known as PFAS can be transferred from mother dolphins to their nursing calves, adding to the evidence that these persistent contaminants can be transferred from mothers to offspring during early development.

Assisted evolution is a proactive conservation strategy designed to accelerate the natural adaptation rates of corals, enabling them to survive increasingly severe marine heatwaves. It relies on the selective breeding of corals based on specific heritable traits, including growth, reproduction, and thermal tolerance.

During the Late Miocene epoch, massive volcanic eruptions in the Andes deposited nutrient-rich ash into the Southern Ocean, triggering widespread marine algae blooms that simultaneously fueled the evolution of gigantic whales, caused localized mass mortality events, and significantly cooled the Earth by drawing atmospheric carbon dioxide into the sea.

Even as we empathise with these intelligent animals, our relentless push for resources kills them in their thousands, just as whalers once hunted them to the brink of extinction
