Credit: Dr. Ming-Chih Huang, Journal of Natural History A massive, ‘creamy yellow’ relative of Woodlouse was found living at a depth of around 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet), off the Yucatán Peninsula. Scientists have identified a new species of Bathonymus, the famed genera of deep-sea isopods whose viral internet fame has made them the most famous aquatic crustaceans since Sebastian of The Little Mermaid. There are around 20 species of living Bathonymus, a mysterious and primitive group that inhabits the benthic zone of the ocean—its deepest reaches, rarely explored in person. Isopod crustaceans are only distantly related to their better-known decapod relatives, the crabs, shrimp, and lobsters. A group of researchers has just revealed the latest creature to this list – B. yucatanensis, a new species which is around 26cm (10 inches) long. This makes it about 2,500% larger than the common woodlouse. The scientists, from Taiwan, Japan, and Australia, published their findings on August 9 in the peer-reviewed Journal of Natural History. Deep sea isopods belong to the same group that contains the terrestrial isopods known variously as woodlice, pillbugs, and roly polys. These feed on decaying matter and are likely familiar to anyone who has lifted up a rock or dug around in the garden. Indeed, they look quite similar but for their extraordinary size—the largest of them grow to nearly 50 centimeters (20 inches). And, just like woodlice, although they perhaps look a little scary, they are completely harmless to humans. Their strange features and unusual dimensions have spawned endless memes and a wide variety of products celebrating their endearing weirdness, from plush toys to phone cases. This finding of B. yucatanensis adds another addition to the isopod pantheon and brings the total of known species of Bathonymus in the Gulf of Mexico to three—B. giganteus was described in 1879 and B. maxeyorum was described in 2016. Distinct Features of the New Species It was initially thought to be a variation of B. giganteus, one of the largest of the deep-sea isopods. However, closer examination of the specimen, which was captured in a baited trap in 2017 in the Gulf of Mexico off the Yucatán Peninsula at around 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet) down, revealed an array of unique features. “B. yucatanensis is morphologically distinct from both B. giganteus and B. maxeyorum,” the authors claim. Held by the Enoshima Aquarium in Japan, the individual studied was subtly different than its relatives. “Compared to B. giganteus, B. yucatanensis has more slender body proportions and is shorter in total length … and the pereopods [thoracic limbs] are more slender,” the researchers observe. It also has longer antennae. The two species have the same number of pleotelson spines. These spines protrude from the tail end of the crustacean. “Bathynomus giganteus was discovered over a century ago, and more than 1,000 specimens have been studied with no suggestion until now of a second species with the same number of pleotelsonic spines,” they add. “Superficial examination, using only pleotelson spines, could easily result in specimens of B. yucatanensis being misidentified as B. giganteus.” “Compared with B. maxeyorum, the most distinctive feature is the number of pleotelson spines—11 spines in B. yucatanensis versus 7 in B. maxeyorum.” The blotchy, creamy yellow coloration of the shell further distinguished it from its greyer relatives. Genetic Analysis and New Discoveries In order to be sure, the researchers conducted a molecular genetic analysis comparing B. giganteus and B. yucatanensis. “Due to the different sequences of the two genes (COI and 16S rRNA), coupled with differences in morphology, we identified it as a new species,” they write. The phylogenetic tree they constructed showed B. yucatanensis as most closely related to B. giganteus. “B. giganteus is indeed the species closest to B. yucatanensis,” the authors assert. “This indicates that the two species likely had a common ancestor. Additionally, there may also be other undiscovered Bathynomus spp. in the tropical western Atlantic. The paper also clarifies that specimens from the South China Sea identified as B. kensleyi are actually B. jamesi. B. kensleyi is restricted to the Coral Sea, off the coast of Australia. “It is increasingly evident that species of Bathynomus may be exceedingly similar in overall appearance, and also that there is a long history of misidentification of species in the genus,” the authors caution. They note that these newly established species distinctions have implications for conservation. “Some species of Bathynomus with commercial potential have become the targets of deep-sea trawl fisheries,” they say.  While giant isopods are only sporadically exploited, “for the management of Bathynomus fisheries, it is important to know precisely which species are being caught.” Reference: “A new species of Bathynomus Milne-Edwards, 1879 (Isopoda: Cirolanidae) from the southern Gulf of Mexico with a redescription of Bathynomus jamesi Kou, Chen and Li, 2017 from off Pratas Island, Taiwan” by Ming-Chih Huang, Tadashi Kawai and Niel L.

Researchers at Brown University have uncovered how the brain manages to focus and filter out distractions, likening the process to coordinating muscle activity for physical tasks. Their study, revealing that attention success or failure hinges not on mental capacity but on the ability to coordinate these attention processes, could improve understanding of cognitive flexibility and attention-related disorders. Research conducted by Brown University’s Carney Institute for Brain Science illustrates how parts of the brain need to work together to focus on important information while filtering out distractions. Imagine a busy restaurant: dishes clattering, music playing, people talking loudly over one another. It’s a wonder that anyone in that kind of environment can focus enough to have a conversation. A new study by researchers at Brown University’s Carney Institute for Brain Science provides some of the most detailed insights yet into the brain mechanisms that help people pay attention amid such distraction, as well as what’s happening when they can’t focus. In an earlier psychology study, the researchers established that people can separately control how much they focus (by enhancing relevant information) and how much they filter (by tuning out distractions). The team’s new research, published in Nature Human Behaviour, unveils the process by which the brain coordinates these two critical functions. Lead author and neuroscientist Harrison Ritz likened the process to how humans coordinate muscle activity to perform complex physical tasks. “In the same way that we bring together more than 50 muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks, our study found that we can coordinate multiple different forms of attention in order to perform acts of mental dexterity,” said Ritz, who conducted the study while a Ph.D. student at Brown. The findings provide insight into how people use their powers of attention as well as what makes attention fail, said co-author Amitai Shenhav, an associate professor in Brown’s Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences. “These findings can help us to understand how we as humans are able to exhibit such tremendous cognitive flexibility — to pay attention to what we want, when we want to,” Shenhav said. “They can also help us better understand limitations on that flexibility, and how limitations might manifest in certain attention-related disorders such as ADHD.” The focus-and-filter test To conduct the study, Ritz administered a cognitive task to participants while measuring their brain activity in an fMRI machine. Participants saw a swirling mass of green and purple dots moving left and right, like a swarm of fireflies. The tasks, which varied in difficulty, involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots. For example, participants in one exercise were instructed to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly moving dots when the ratio of purple to green was almost 50/50. Ritz and Shenhav then analyzed participants’ brain activity in response to the tasks. Ritz, who is now a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, explained how the two brain regions work together during these types of tasks. “You can think about the intraparietal sulcus as having two knobs on a radio dial: one that adjusts focusing and one that adjusts filtering,” Ritz said. “In our study, the anterior cingulate cortex tracks what’s going on with the dots. When the anterior cingulate cortex recognizes that, for instance, motion is making the task more difficult, it directs the intraparietal sulcus to adjust the filtering knob in order to reduce the sensitivity to motion. “In the scenario where the purple and green dots are almost at 50/50, it might also direct the intraparietal sulcus to adjust the focusing knob in order to increase the sensitivity to color. Now the relevant brain regions are less sensitive to motion and more sensitive to the appropriate color, so the participant is better able to make the correct selection.” Ritz’s description highlights the importance of mental coordination over mental capacity, revealing an often-expressed idea to be a misconception. “When people talk about the limitations of the mind, they often put it in terms of, ‘humans just don’t have the mental capacity’ or ‘humans lack computing power,’” Ritz said. “These findings support a different perspective on why we’re not focused all the time. It’s not that our brains are too simple, but instead that our brains are really complicated, and it’s the coordination that’s hard.” Ongoing research projects are building on these study findings. A partnership with physician-scientists at Brown University and Baylor College of Medicine is investigating focus-and-filter strategies in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers in Shenhav’s lab are looking at the way motivation drives attention; one study co-led by Ritz and Brown Ph.D. student Xiamin Leng examines the impact of financial rewards and penalties on focus-and-filter strategies.

Microplastics are more than just environmental nuisances; they actively fuel the rise of antimicrobial resistance, even without antibiotics. A new study reveals that these tiny plastic particles encourage bacteria like E. coli to develop resistance to multiple antibiotics within days. Microplastics don’t just carry bacteria — they actively help them develop drug resistance. Researchers found that within days of exposure, E. coli became resistant to multiple antibiotics, even in the absence of antibiotic pressure. Microplastics are more than just pollutants—they are complex materials that can drive antimicrobial resistance (AMR), even in the absence of antibiotics, according to a new study. The findings, published today (March 11) in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, highlight a growing public health concern. “Addressing plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental issue, it’s a critical public health priority in the fight against drug-resistant infections,” said lead study author Neila Gross, a Ph.D. candidate in the lab of Professor Muhammad Zaman at Boston University. As plastic use has increased globally, microplastic contamination has become widespread, with wastewater acting as a major reservoir. At the same time, antimicrobial resistance is on the rise, with environmental factors playing a key role. Microplastics are known to host bacterial communities on their surfaces, a phenomenon referred to as the “plastisphere.” Experimenting with Plastic and Bacteria In this study, researchers investigated how microplastics contribute to AMR at clinically relevant levels. They tested different plastic types—polystyrene (commonly found in packing peanuts), polyethylene (used in plastic zip-top bags), and polypropylene (found in crates, bottles, and jars). The microplastics, ranging in size from 10 micrometers to half a millimeter (comparable to the size of a bacterium), were incubated with Escherichia coli for 10 days. Every two days, scientists measured the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs)—the antibiotic dose needed to stop bacterial growth—across four widely used antibiotics. This allowed them to track whether the bacteria were developing resistance over time. Microplastics Accelerate Drug Resistance The researchers found that microplastics, regardless of the tested size and concentration, facilitated multidrug resistance in 4 tested antibiotics (ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, and streptomycin) in E. coli within 5-10 days of exposure. The researchers demonstrated that microplastics alone can facilitate increased AMR development. “This means that microplastics substantially increase the risk of antibiotics becoming ineffective for a variety of high impact infections,” Gross said. Prior research primarily focused on antibiotic-driven resistance, without considering the role of environmental pollutants like microplastics. Studies with microplastics looked mostly at resistance factors such as antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs) and biofilms, not the rate or magnitude of AMR via their minimum inhibitory concentration to different antibiotics. Resistance That Lingers The researchers found that resistance induced by microplastics and antibiotics was often significant, measurable and stable, even after antibiotics and microplastics were removed from the bacteria. Ultimately, this means that microplastic exposure may select for genotypic or phenotypic traits that maintain antimicrobial resistance, independent of antibiotic pressure. Microplastics as Hotspots for Resistance Evolution “Our findings reveal that microplastics actively drive antimicrobial resistance development in E. coli, even in the absence of antibiotics, with resistance persisting beyond antibiotic and microplastic exposure,” Gross said. “This challenges the notion that microplastics are merely passive carriers of resistant bacteria and highlights their role as active hotspots for antimicrobial resistance evolution.” Given that polystyrene microplastics facilitated the highest levels of resistance, and that biofilm formation—known to enhance bacterial survival and drug resistance—was a key mechanism, the results underscore the urgent need to address microplastics pollution in antimicrobial resistance mitigation efforts.
