We reconstructed the 145-myr diversity of sharks & rays using deep learning, unveiling hidden patterns:
- modern diversity levels by the Cretaceous 📈
- small decline in the K/Pg 🤏
- a peak in the Eocene 🌄
- a long-term decline towards the present �

Top panels: graphs showing increases in spillover events, extinction rates, and temperature anomalies over the last few centuries. Bottom panel: a map of 10 pandemics since the year 1900. Four were linked to agriculture, two to wildlife use, and one to climate change.

🚨😷🧪 NEW: A growing body of evidence shows that pandemics, biodiversity loss, and climate change are part of a broader polycrisis - but there are no simple solutions. A sweeping overview of "Pathogens and planetary change" for the first issue of @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social, out now 🔓 rdcu.be/d6lHl

Haematological deterioration of Hematodinium-infected decapod crustaceans Parasitic dinoflagellates, namely Hematodinium spp., infect a growing number of decapod crustacean species worldwide. These parasites represent a long…

Confirmed spread of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by aerosols is a risk factor in the infection of shrimp ponds Infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus carrying a plasmid encoding two Pir-like toxins results in a rapid, progressive degeneration of the hepatopancr…

In our latest article, we demonstrate that toxigenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus aerosolizes and spreads by wind - posing a substantive biosecurity risk to shrimp 🦐 morbidity and mortality www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Diseases of marine fish and shellfish in an age of rapid climate change A recurring trend in evidence scrutinized over the past few decades is that disease outbreaks will become more frequent, intense, and widespread on la…
