Be an Ocean Helper
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

This OLogy activity shows kids that there are simple, but very helpful things they can do to protect the ocean, even if they live nowhere near the water. It has a checklist of 14 ways kids can be ocean helpers that includes asking for tap water instead of bottled water and leaving plants and animals where they find them. For each of the checklist items, kids can check either "I am doing this" or "I could do this."

Crazy Camouflage

Rating
0.0 stars

In this hands-on OLogy activity, kids learn how camouflage allows flounders to blend into a variety of backgrounds. The illustrated, step-by-step directions challenge kids first to color a flounder drawing so that it matches the provided background, and then to create their own backgrounds and make more drawings of camouflaged flounders. It includes an overview of three other sea animals that use camouflage: the sea dragon, the stonefish, and the mimic octopus.

Microbial diversity and novel symbiotic Zetaproteobacteria species in Rimicaris exoculata
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Both free-living and symbiotic chemosynthetic microbes are critical to the health of deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems. A complex symbiotic microbe community lives in the cephalothorax of the shrimp Rimicaris exoculata, which thrives in diverse vent environments. However, the taxonomic and functional diversity of this community is not fully characterized, and how the microbes contribute to the shrimp’s success in vent colonization remains to be further studied. In a recent study, researchers used shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct and study symbiotic bacterial genomes in shrimp specimens from three vent fields with different geochemical characteristics. Forty-nine metagenome-assembled genomes were successfully reconstructed for shrimps from two of the fields. The communities were complex, and many microbes were shared between fields. However, behind an apparent functional redundancy, co-existing strains showed differences, highlighting niche partitioning between symbionts..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
