A new study published in Royal Society Open Science suggests humpback whales may be among the rare group of animals that both manufacture and use their own tools. While it was previously known that humpback whales create “bubble-nets” to hunt, the new study reveals that they also manipulate this unique tool in a variety of ways to maximize their food intake in Alaskan feeding grounds. #sentience #marinemammals https://scitechdaily.com/smarter-than-you-think-humpback-whales-create-and-control-their-own-hunting-tools/

Smarter Than You Think: Humpback Whales Create and Control Their Own Hunting Tools

Southeast Alaska’s humpback whales use bubble nets for efficient krill hunting, a behavior documented by researchers aiming to bolster conservation efforts. A new study published in Royal Society Open Science suggests humpback whales may be among the rare group of animals that both manufacture an

The organism is a #choanoflagellate, a microscopic, single-celled form of life that can divide and develop into multicellular colonies in a way that’s similar to how animal embryos form. It’s not a type of animal, however, but a member of a sister group to all animals. As...See more

Mysterious New Organism Found in Mono Lake Could Rewrite the History of Life

Berkeley scientists have discovered a new choanoflagellate species in Mono Lake that forms multicellular colonies and hosts a microbiome, offering new perspectives on the evolution of multicellular organisms. The salty, arsenic- and cyanide-laced waters of the Eastern Sierra Nevada’s Mono Lake is
