Mussels “bungee cords” weaken with higher temperatures – UW News

The fibrous threads helping mussels stay anchored – in spite of waves that sometimes pound the shore with a force equivalent to a jet liner flying at 600 miles per hour – are more prone to snap when ocean temperatures climb higher than normal. Emily Carrington, a professor of biology at FHL, reported Saturday (Feb. 16) that the fibrous threads she calls “nature’s bungee cords” become 60 percent weaker in water that was 15 degrees F (7 C) above typical summer temperatures where the mussels were from. She spoke at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Boston. Read more here!

Piranha ancestor bit harder than a T-rex – UW News

Taking into consideration its size, an ancient relative of piranhas weighing about 20 pounds delivered a bite with a force more fierce than prehistoric whale-eating sharks, the four-ton ocean-dwelling Dunkleosteus terrelli and – even – Tyrannosaurus rex. This research was done by biology doctoral student Stephanie Crofts, who works in Adam Summers‘ lab at Friday Harbor Labs. Read more about megapirahna here!
