Salmon Virus Originally from the Atlantic, Spread to B.C. Wild Salmon from Farms
Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) – which is associated with kidney and liver damage in Chinook salmon – is continually being transmitted between open-net salmon farms and wild juvenile Chinook salmon in British Columbia waters, according to a new genomics analysis published today in Science Advances.
Keeping More Ammonium in Soil Could Decrease Pollution, Boost Crops

Widespread Coral-Algae Symbioses Endured Historical Climate Changes
One of the most important and widespread reef-building corals, known as cauliflower coral, exhibits strong partnerships with certain species of symbiotic algae, and these relationships have persisted through periods of intense climate fluctuations over the last 1.5 million years, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State.
Better Peatland Management Could Cut Half a Billion Tonnes of Carbon
