Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest inhabited termite mounds along the Buffels River in Namaqualand, dating back 34,000 years, challenging our understanding of prehistoric life and carbon storage. These mounds, still active and studied for their unique carbon sequestration properties, offer insights into past climates and underscore the importance of natural processes in combating climate change. (The termite mound above is a stock image and not the actual mound described in the Namaqualand study.) Researchers in Namaqualand have found the world’s oldest termite mounds, dating 34,000 years, revealing key insights into ancient climates and carbon storage. In a remarkable breakthrough, scientists have uncovered the world’s oldest inhabited termite mounds along the Buffels River in Namaqualand. These mounds, which date back an astonishing 34,000 years, are transforming our understanding of prehistoric life, climate, and carbon storage. An Ancient Marvel These termite mounds, called “heuweltjies” in Afrikaans, meaning “little hills,” are inhabited by the southern harvester termite, Microhodotermes viator, explains lead author on the study, Dr. Michele Francis, a Senior Lecturer (Extraordinary), in the Department of Soil Science in the Faculty of AgriSciences at Stellenbosch University (SU). “Recent radiocarbon dating has revealed that these mounds are far older than any previously known, with some dating as far back as 34,000 years – that’s older than the iconic cave paintings in Europe and even older than the Last Glacial Maximum, when vast ice sheets covered much of the northern hemisphere.” Aerial views of Namaqualand heuweltjies covered by spring flowers. The flowers grow preferentially on the mounds because they are richer in nutrients than the surrounding soil. Credit: Jannick Niewoudt; Alastair Potts The mounds are still inhabited by termites, and the radiocarbon dating of the organic carbon within these mounds has shown ages ranging from 13,000 to 19,000 years, while the carbonate dates back up to 34,000 years. This make the Buffels River mounds the oldest active termite mounds to be dated so far with both organic and inorganic carbon. The previous oldest inhabited mounds from different species from Brazil are 4000 years old. “To put it in perspective, these termite mounds were already ancient when woolly mammoths still roamed the Earth. During the Last Glacial Maximum, around 20,000 years ago, massive ice sheets covered parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. These mounds were already thousands of years old by then, providing a living archive of environmental conditions that shaped our world,” says Francis. A Peek into Prehistoric Climate These ancient mounds are more than just a historical curiosity; they serve as valuable records of prehistoric climate condition, says Francis. “The heuweltjies have shown that during their formation, the region experienced significantly more rainfall than today. This wetter climate allowed for minerals such as calcite and gypsum to dissolve and move down to the groundwater. This process is crucial in understanding natural carbon sequestration processes. What is interesting is that Namaqualand still has sporadic episodes of intense rainfall, like last winter, which would re-activate the process.” A termite mound uncovered in the study. Credit: Teneille Nel Why It Matters Not only are these the oldest termite mounds on earth, but they also offer two mechanisms to sequester CO2, adds Francis. Firstly, the harvesting activities of termites inject younger organic material deep into their nests, leading to continuous renewal of important soil carbon reservoirs at depth, where they are preserved for longer than when still at the surface. Secondly, these calcareous termite mounds offer a way to remove CO2 when the soil mineral calcite dissolves. This is a long-term carbon storage that companies are seeking to replicate in enhanced weathering or ocean alkalinity enhancement projects, and is important for calculating a country’s carbon budget as laid out in the Paris Agreement, and accounted for during land use change. A Call for Global Recognition “The discovery of these mounds is akin to being able to read an ancient manuscript that changes everything we thought we knew about history. Their age, and the insights they provide into ancient ecosystems, make them a candidate for global recognition as a natural wonder,” says Francis. “By studying these mounds, scientists can gain a better understanding of how to combat climate change, utilizing nature’s own processes for carbon sequestration. They also highlight the importance of preserving our natural world, as these tiny engineers have been shaping our environment for tens of thousands of years.” Conclusion “The discovery of the world’s oldest termite mounds in Namaqualand is a testament to the incredible history hidden beneath our feet. These mounds not only illuminate the past but also offer vital clues for our future. As we continue to uncover the secrets of these ancient structures, they stand as a reminder of the delicate interplay between climate, environment, and life on earth,” concludes Francis.

New research using electronic tags and sonar data shows that large marine predators like sharks and tunas often dive into the deep mesopelagic zone, interacting with its dense layer of organisms for feeding and possibly other purposes. This zone is crucial for both ecological balance and commercial fishing, requiring careful study and conservation to prevent irreversible damage. Data from over 300 tags on large marine predators, along with shipboard sonar, point to the ecological importance of the ocean’s twilight zone. If you’ve ever witnessed a shark breach the water—whether in person or somewhere on the Internet—that fleeting but awe-inspiring moment is just a small fraction of the time it spends at the surface of the ocean. Most of the time sharks and other large marine predators are out of sight, begging the question—where do they go? New Insights From a Comprehensive Study A new study demonstrates that large predatory fishes like sharks, tunas, and billfish make a surprising number of visits to the deep ocean—particularly the mesopelagic zone, which is found between 200 to 1,000 meters below the surface. This area, also called the ocean’s twilight zone, has been overlooked as critical habitat for large predator species, according to the study. The paper was published on November 6 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Credit: Tiger Shark /©Tom Burns Collaborative Research Efforts Led by Camrin Braun, an assistant scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the study incorporated an astonishing amount of data from multiple scientific partners. He and the co-authors synthesized data from electronic tags, shipboard sonar, Earth-observing satellites, and data-assimilating ocean models to quantify the ecological significance of deep diving for large pelagic predators. They emphasize that a healthy mesopelagic zone provides numerous benefits and ecosystem services to humans as well. Deep Ocean Habits of Predators “No matter what top predator you look at, or where you look at them in the global ocean, they all spend time in the deep ocean,” Braun said. “All of these animals that we think of as being residents of the surface ocean, use the deep ocean way more than we previously thought.” The scientists leveraged data from 344 electronic tags over the course of 46,659 tracking days for 12 species in the North Atlantic Ocean, including white sharks, tiger sharks, whale sharks, Yellowfin tuna, swordfish, and more.

Credit: Blue Shark offshore, Cape Cod/© Eric Savetsky Understanding Deep Scattering Layer Movements The diving patterns of these fish recorded by the tags were then matched with sonar data that showed the daily movements of the deep scattering layer (DSL)—a zone where a huge number of small fish and marine organisms are packed so densely that scientists first using sonar mistook the layer for the ocean floor. During the day, animals in the DSL inhabit the mesopelagic zone. But when the sun sets, many of these individuals—like fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and others—swim to surface waters to feed. When the sun reemerges over the horizon, scattering light over the surface, they descend back to the twilight zone where they will remain until nightfall. This daily rhythm is called Diel Vertical Migration and is a pattern that scientists at WHOI have been studying for decades. Converging Data and Surprising Findings Alice Della Penna, co-author and collaborator at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, who specializes in acoustics, said that it was surprising to see the data sets match so well. “When we looked at this specific process from different perspectives, from the diving and the acoustics together, seeing that everything was falling into place was very exciting.” Feeding Patterns and Anomalous Behaviors After years of collecting and analyzing data, the new paper helps shed light on the predators who are attuned to the DSL, presumably to hunt smaller prey, and the animals who often diverge from the daily vertical migration patterns, leading to further questions about why they are diving so deep, if not to feed. “Several species aligned perfectly with the expectations that they’re diving to feed, but there are behaviors that aren’t just for feeding,” Braun said. Swordfish for example, follow the Diel Vertical Migration pattern like clockwork. But there are some “really surprising deviations from that behavior,” he explains—”like instead of diving down to 1,500 feet, a swordfish goes to 3,000 or 6,000 feet, much deeper than we would expect for that to be feeding behavior.” Exploring Other Motivations for Deep Diving That means they could be diving for other reasons that are not fully understood. Previous work has pointed to these vertical movements may be serving to avoid predators or aid in navigation, according to the study. Despite the anomalies, all of the large species included in the study interreacted with the mesopelagic organisms in one way or another, finding that it’s worth it for these predators to dive deep into a seemingly inhospitable part of the ocean where there is little light, the pressure is high and temperatures are near freezing. Ecosystem Services of the Mesopelagic Zone “Sharks and tunas are evolutionarily a long way apart with very different sensory systems. And yet still both of those groups find that it’s worthwhile to do that type of behavior,” said Simon Thorrold, fish ecologist at WHOI and co-author on the study. With the large number of fish and organisms making this trek, Thorrold said that these species are potentially moving a hefty amount of carbon dioxide from the surface into the deep ocean where it will stay for centuries—a potentially significant ecosystem service of the mesopelagic that is not yet quantified. Implications for Conservation and Commercial Fishing Since the twilight zone is clearly important to many large species that are fished commercially, “this deep-sea biomass contributes ecosystem services that are worth a considerable amount of money,” Thorrold, said. The paper stresses that it is in everyone’s interest to keep the mesopelagic intact, and that it is important to study these deep ocean food webs further before fishing or extracting activities occur. The paper states that “the overlap in ongoing fishing effort and pelagic predator distributions, expected climate-induced changes in pelagic ecosystems and the potential extraction of mesopelagic biomass,” can put this critical ecosystem in jeopardy. The Risks of Premature Exploitation “We’re finding that the mesopelagic is providing an important support for other parts of the ocean,” Della Penna said. “If we start to exploit these mesopelagic ecosystems before we know how they work, there’s a really big risk of causing damage that is not easily reversible.” Key Takeaways Data from electronic tags, shipboard acoustic data, Earth-observing satellites, and data-assimilating ocean models, find that the ocean’s mesopelagic zone, also called the twilight zone, is ecologically significant to many large marine fish that are thought of as surface dwellers. These large marine predators, like sharks and tunas, dive deep into the twilight zone, often to follow the movements of a dense layer of prey organisms, called the deep scattering layer. “Several species aligned perfectly with the expectations that they’re diving to feed, but there are behaviors that aren’t just for feeding,” lead author Camrin Braun said. Swordfish, for example, follow the Diel Vertical Migration pattern like clockwork. But there are some “really crazy deviations from that behavior,” meaning they could be diving for other reasons that are not fully understood. The paper stresses that it is in everyone’s interest to keep the mesopelagic zone intact, and it’s important to study these deep ocean food webs further before fishing or extracting activities occur.

Inheritance, as it pertains to genetics, refers to a trait or variants encoded in DNA and transferred from parent to child during reproduction. The Discovery Indicates That Epigenetic Inheritance Could Occur More Frequently Than Previously Believed A fundamental discovery concerning a driver of healthy development in embryos might rewrite our understanding of what we can inherit from our parents and how their life experiences shape us. The new study reveals that epigenetic information, which sits on top of DNA and is typically reset between generations, is more commonly passed down from mother to child than previously thought. The research, led by researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Australia, greatly expands our knowledge of which genes have epigenetic information passed from mother to offspring and which proteins are critical for controlling this peculiar process. Epigenetics is a rapidly expanding field of science that studies how our genes are turned on and off to enable one set of genetic instructions to produce hundreds of different cell types in our body. Environmental factors such as our nutrition can impact epigenetic changes, but these changes do not alter DNA and are not generally passed down from parent to child.

Credit: Still from WEHI.TV’s animation “X Inactivation and Epigenetics” by Etsuko Uno Despite the fact that a small subset of “imprinted” genes may pass epigenetic information down the generations, relatively few other genes have up to this point been shown to be influenced by the mother’s epigenetic state. According to recent research, the supply of a certain protein in the mother’s egg may have an impact on the genes that drive the skeletal patterning of children. Maternal Epigenetic Transmission Chief investigator Professor Marnie Blewitt said the findings initially left the team surprised. “It took us a while to process because our discovery was unexpected,” Professor Blewitt, Joint Head of the Epigenetics and Development Division at WEHI, said. “Knowing that epigenetic information from the mother can have effects with life-long consequences for body patterning is exciting, as it suggests this is happening far more than we ever thought. It could open a Pandora’s box as to what other epigenetic information is being inherited.” The study, led by WEHI in collaboration with Associate Professor Edwina McGlinn from Monash University and The Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, was recently published in the journal Nature Communications.

Credit: WEHI Hox Genes and SMCHD1 in Embryonic Development The current research concentrated on the Hox genes, which are essential for normal skeletal development, and the protein SMCHD1, an epigenetic regulator discovered by Professor Blewitt in 2008. During embryonic development in mammals, Hox genes determine the identity of each vertebra, while the epigenetic regulator prevents these genes from being activated too early. According to the findings of this study, the quantity of SMCHD1 in the mother’s egg impacts the activity of the Hox genes and the patterning of the embryo. Without maternal SMCHD1 in the egg, children were born with altered skeletal structures. This is clear proof, according to the first author and Ph.D. researcher Natalia Benetti, that epigenetic information rather than only blueprint genetic information was passed from the mother. SMCHD1 produced by the mother (green) seen remaining in embryos as the cells divide. Researchers have found the effect of SMCHD1 from the mother impacts when Hox genes are activated many days later in development. Credit: Wanigasuriya et al. eLife 2020 “While we have more than 20,000 genes in our genome, only that rare subset of about 150 imprinted genes and very few others have been shown to carry epigenetic information from one generation to another,” Benetti said. “Knowing this is also happening to a set of essential genes that have been evolutionarily conserved from flies through to humans is fascinating.” The research showed that SMCHD1 in the egg, which only persists for two days after conception, has a life-long impact. Potential Applications for Treating Genetic Disorders Variants in SMCHD1 are linked to the developmental disorder Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (BAMS) and facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a form of muscular dystrophy. The researchers say their findings could have implications for women with SMCHD1 variants and their children in the future. A drug discovery effort at WEHI is currently leveraging the SMCHD1 knowledge established by the team to design novel therapies to treat developmental disorders, such as Prader Willi Syndrome and the degenerative disorder FSHD.
