A pace that scientific lead Karen Osborn, of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, described as close to a record for the number of new animals identified in such a short time.

The team also filmed <strong>transparent squids and <\/strong>a <strong>Solmissus jellyfish feeding <\/strong>on a ctenophore. Describing a new species usually takes years, sometimes decades; here, confirmation came within days.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cosa-c-e-nella-zona-mesopelagica\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s in the mesopelagic zone?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mission\u2019s target was the mesopelagic zone, the layer of water between the sunlit surface and the seafloor. According to the team, this layer accounts for about 90% of the planet\u2019s habitable space, yet it remains one of the least studied environments. Among the discoveries: <strong>an amphipod<\/strong>, <strong>a filamentous worm<\/strong> faster than its shape would suggest, <strong>nine jellyfish<\/strong>, <strong>seven siphonophores<\/strong>, <strong>seven ctenophores<\/strong> with luminescent cilia, <strong>four larvaceans<\/strong> living in mucus casings, and <strong>two giant rhizarians<\/strong>, single-celled organisms visible to the naked eye.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-la-tecnologia-che-accorcia-i-tempi\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology That Saves Time<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This speed is made possible by the combination of non-invasive imaging and on-board genetic sequencing. The DeepPIV and EyeRIS instruments, developed by MBARI\u2019s Bioinspiration Lab, use lasers to reconstruct 3D images without capturing the animals. A shadowgraph camera from Japan\u2019s JAMSTEC is also used, capturing details invisible to the scans.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most significant development involves Squid, a special microscope developed at Stanford: for the first time in an oceanographic expedition, it has made it possible to observe the three-dimensional cellular structure of a living organism in real time.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-il-contesto-dei-finanziamenti-tagliati\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Context of Funding Cuts<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expedition, funded by <strong>the Sasakawa Peace Foundation\u2019s <\/strong> <strong>Ocean Shot <\/strong>program <strong>in partnership with <\/strong>the University of Western Australia and the Bigelow Laboratory, took place while the Trump administration in the United States was proposing to dismantle<a href=\"https:\/\/oceanobservatories.org\/\">the Ocean Observatories Initiative<\/a>, <strong>a network of over 900 instruments worth $368 million that monitors currents, climate variability, and marine biodiversity<\/strong>. The plan was later withdrawn following protests from the scientific community, but the contrast between the two events highlights the gap between what remains to be discovered in the ocean and the fragility of the instruments that make such discoveries possible. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every night, mesopelagic organisms undertake a vertical migration toward the surface to feed under the cover of darkness: <strong>a mass movement that affects the ocean\u2019s ability to absorb carbon<\/strong>. Understanding how these populations are distributed provides more reliable data on a process that affects the entire planet. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition off the coast of Brazil is redefining the timeline of marine taxonomy: two weeks to identify two and a half dozen new organisms, thanks to a microscope that, for the first time, films living cells in the open ocean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":20125,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowscnaCw:productID":"","_app_feed_target":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1616],"tags":[1652],"class_list":["post-20124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animals","tag-animali"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Thirty-one marine secrets discovered in two weeks &#8226;
