Recent research in the Arctic reveals that jellyfish, once considered negligible in food webs, are a key food source for amphipods during the polar night in Svalbard’s Kongsfjorden, indicating significant changes in the ecosystem due to “Atlantification.” Pictures is a ctenophore or comb jelly. Credit: C. Havermans AWI research team shows that jellyfish play an important, previously unknown role in the diet of amphipods during the polar night. The Arctic is changing rapidly due to climate change. It is not only affected by increasing surface temperatures, but also by warm water from the Atlantic, which is flowing in more and more – changing the structures and functions of the ecosystem as it also leads to species from warmer regions, such as jellyfish, arriving in the Arctic. Using DNA metabarcoding, researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute have now been able to prove for the first time that these jellyfish serve as food for amphipods on Svalbard during the polar night and thus play a greater role in Arctic food webs than previously assumed. They present their findings in a recent article in the scientific journal Frontiers in Marine Science. The AWI researchers collected samples from four different amphipod species over the course of a month during the polar night. Credit: Alfred Wegener Institute / Charlotte Havermans Atlantification of the Arctic and Its Impact on Marine Life In recent years, warm, salty water from the Atlantic has increasingly found its way into the European Arctic. The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is also under the influence of this “Atlantification”: the Kongsfjorden on the west coast has switched to an Atlantic regime; the water temperature during the polar night (November to February) is increasing by around 2 degrees Celsius per decade. These changes also lead to biotic shifts, as species from warmer waters also flow into the Arctic along with the warm Atlantic water. “Some jellyfish species in particular tend to spread poleward and into the Arctic,” says Charlotte Havermans, head of the ARJEL junior research group at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI). ” When we were in Kongsfjorden in the Polar Night in 2022, we were very surprised to see the fjord teeming with jellyfish life, consisting of many different species and life stages, and they seemed to be the dominant zooplankton in winter time.” Pink helmet jellyfish, a hydrozoan. Credit: C. Havermans Jellyfish in Arctic Food Webs In the past, jellyfish were considered a trophic dead end in marine food webs, but recent studies suggest that they are an important prey for marine invertebrates and fish. “Therefore, we wondered whether the jellyfish in Kongsfjorden also serve as food for other organisms, especially during the dark season of the polar night when other food sources are limited,” says Havermans. To answer this question, one of the team’s PhD students, Annkathrin Dischereit, analyzed the stomach contents of various amphipod species. For a month, they regularly collected samples from four different amphipod species (Gammarus oceanicus, G. setosus, Orchomenella minuta, and Anonyx sarsi) during the polar night, using baited traps and hand nets. Jellyfish Are an Integral Part of the Diet of Amphipods During the Polar Night The AWI researchers used DNA-metabarcoding to determine the food spectrum of the small crustaceans. This cutting-edge method can detect short gene fragments in the stomach, which are then compared with genetic reference databases to identify the prey species to which the fragments belong. “We found a large number of jellyfish in the stomachs of the amphipods, from the largest jellyfish in the fjord to tiny hydrozoans,” explains Charlotte Havermans. Using DNA metabarcoding, the AWI team was able to identify and categorize the soft parts of jellyfish and other organisms that had been consumed, even if they were already heavily digested. “We were able to prove for the first time that amphipod scavengers feed on the remains of jellyfish. This had previously only been shown in experimental environments.” All the species studied fed on both plant and animal matter. In addition to jellyfish, crustaceans, and macroalgae were other important components of the diet of some species, while fish species such as the polar cod or snailfish played an important role for other species. Whether the amphipods fed on eggs, larvae, carrion, or feces of fish remains to be clarified. What also remains to be determined, is whether jellyfish act as a survival food in winter, or are part of the regular prey of these organisms in all seasons. “We have always assumed that the nutritional value of jellyfish is low, but this has only been investigated for less than a handful of species, and also depends on the tissues that are utilized.” New Insights Into Arctic Marine Ecosystems The study provides completely new insights into the Arctic food web during the polar night and are the first natural, non-experimental evidence for the role of jellyfish in these webs. “The thriving, diverse jellyfish community that occurs in Kongsfjorden in winter is clearly used as a food source,” Charlotte Havermans summarises the results. “Until now, we knew nothing about the role of jellyfish as prey in this area. It was also not known that the species Gammaridea, for example, feeds on jellyfish at all, not in the Arctic, but also not elsewhere.” The question now arises as to whether this only applies to the polar night, when the food supply is limited. The ARJEL junior research group at AWI wants to continue researching this question. Because: “Jellyfish could be among the winners of climate change that will continue to spread during the global warming. We have also predicted that jellyfish will become more common in the Arctic as temperatures continue to rise,” says Havermans. As a result, their role in the food web could become increasingly important. Until now, however, our understanding of this has been limited, particularly in the polar regions. “With this study, we reveal crucial links in the Arctic food web that were so far not known. This is fundamental because we need to understand how jellyfish fit into food webs and spread in an Arctic that is changing rapidly. This also applies to the neighboring shelf seas, as ten percent of the world’s fisheries take place in these areas.” For more on this study, see The Secret Jellyfish Dinners of the Arctic Depths.

Liu, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine Frequent, rapid testing for COVID-19 is critical to controlling the spread of outbreaks, especially as new, more transmissible variants emerge. While today’s gold standard COVID-19 diagnostic test, which uses qRT-PCR — quantitative reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) — is extremely sensitive, detecting down to one copy of RNA per microliter, it requires specialized equipment, a runtime of several hours and a centralized laboratory facility. As a result, testing typically takes at least one to two days. A research team led by scientists in the labs of Jennifer Doudna, David Savage, and Patrick Hsu at the University of California, Berkeley, is aiming to develop a diagnostic test that is much faster and easier to deploy than qRT-PCR. It has now combined two different types of CRISPR enzymes to create an assay that can detect small amounts of viral RNA in less than an hour. Doudna shared the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the invention of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. While the new technique is not yet at the stage where it rivals the sensitivity of qRT-PCR, which can detect just a few copies of the virus per microliter of liquid, it is already able to pick up levels of viral RNA — about 30 copies per microliter — sufficient to be used to surveil the population and limit the spread of infections. “You don’t need the sensitivity of PCR to basically catch and diagnose COVID-19 in the community, if the test’s convenient enough and fast enough,” said co-author David Savage, professor of molecular and cell biology. “Our hope was to drive the biochemistry as far as possible to the point where you could imagine a very convenient format in a setting where you can get tested every day, say, at the entrance to work.” The researchers reported their results on August 5, 2021, in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.

While this initial amplification increases the test’s sensitivity to a similar level as qRT-PCR, it also introduces steps that make the test more difficult to carry out outside of a laboratory. The UC Berkeley-led team sought to reach a useful sensitivity and speed without sacrificing the simplicity of the assay. “For point of care applications, you want to have a rapid response so that people can quickly know if they’re infected or not, before you get on a flight, for example, or go visit relatives,” said team leader Tina Liu, a research scientist in Doudna’s lab at the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI), a CRISPR-focused center involving UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco scientists. Aside from having an added step, another disadvantage of initial amplification is that, because it makes billions of copies of viral RNA, there is a greater chance of cross-contamination across patient samples. The new technique developed by the team flips this around and instead boosts the fluorescent signal, eliminating a major source of cross-contamination. The amplification-free technique, which they term Fast Integrated Nuclease Detection In Tandem (FIND-IT), could enable quick and inexpensive diagnostic tests for many other infectious diseases. “While we did start this project for the express purpose of impacting COVID-19, I think this particular technique could be applicable to more than just this pandemic because, ultimately, CRISPR is programable,” Liu said. “So, you could load the CRISPR enzyme with a sequence targeting flu virus or HIV virus or any type of RNA virus, and the system has the potential to work in the same way. This paper really establishes that this biochemistry is a simpler way to detect RNA and has the capability to detect that RNA in a sensitive and fast time frame that could be amenable for future applications in point of care diagnostics.” The researchers are currently in the process of building such a diagnostic using FIND-IT, which would include steps to collect and process samples and to run the assay on a compact microfluidic device. Employing tandem Cas proteins To remove target amplification from the equation, the team employed a CRISPR enzyme — Cas13 — to first detect the viral RNA, and another type of Cas protein, called Csm6, to amplify the fluorescence signal. Cas13 is a general purpose scissors for cutting RNA; once it binds to its target sequence, specified by a guide RNA, it is primed to cut a broad range of other RNA molecules. This target-triggered cutting activity can be harnessed to couple detection of a specific RNA sequence to release of a fluorescent reporter molecule. However, on its own, Cas13 can require hours to generate a detectable signal when very low amounts of target RNA are present. Liu’s insight was to use Csm6 to amplify the effect of Cas13. Csm6 is a CRISPR enzyme that senses the presence of small rings of RNA and becomes activated to cut a broad range of RNA molecules in cells. To boost Cas13 detection, she and her colleagues designed a specially engineered activator molecule that gets cut when Cas13 detects viral RNA. A fragment of this molecule can bind to and trigger Csm6 to cut and release a bright fluorescent molecule from a piece of RNA. Normally, the activator molecule is quickly broken down by Csm6, thus limiting the amount of fluorescent signal it can generate. Liu and her colleagues devised a way to chemically modify the activator so that it is protected from degradation and can supercharge Csm6 to repeatedly cut and release fluorescent molecules linked to RNA. This results in a sensitivity that is 100 times better than the original activator. “When Cas13 gets activated, it cleaves this small activator, removing a segment that protects it,” Liu said. “Now that it’s liberated, it can activate lots of different molecules of that second enzyme, Csm6. And so, one target recognized by Cas13 doesn’t just lead to activation of its own RNA-cutting ability; it leads to the generation of many more active enzymes that can each then cleave even more fluorescent reporters.” The team of researchers also incorporated an optimized combination of guide RNAs that enables more sensitive recognition of the viral RNA by Cas13. When this was combined with Csm6 and its activator, the team was able to detect down to 31 copies per microliter of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in as little as 20 minutes. The researchers also added extracted RNA from patient samples to the FIND-IT assay in a microfluidic cartridge, to see if this assay could be adapted to run on a portable device. Using a small device with a camera, they could detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA extracted from patient samples at a sensitivity that would capture COVID-19 infections at their peak. “This tandem nuclease approach — Cas13 plus Csm6 — combines everything into a single reaction at a single temperature, 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit), so it does not require high temperature heating or multiple steps, as is necessary for other diagnostic techniques,” Liu said. “I think this opens up opportunities for faster, simpler tests that can reach a comparable sensitivity to other current techniques and could potentially reach even higher sensitivities in the future.” The development of this amplification-free method for RNA detection resulted from a reorientation of research within IGI when the pandemic began toward problems of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment. Ultimately, five labs at UC Berkeley and two labs at UCSF became involved in this research project, one of many within the IGI. “When we started this, we had hopes of creating something that reached parity with PCR, but didn’t require amplification — that would be the dream,” said Savage, who was the principal investigator for the project. “And from a sensitivity perspective, we had about a ten thousandfold gap to jump. We’ve made it about a thousandfold; we’ve driven it down about three orders of magnitude. So, we’re almost there. Last April, when we were really starting to map it out, that seemed almost impossible.” Reference: “Accelerated RNA detection using tandem CRISPR nucleases” by Tina Y. Liu, Gavin J. Knott, Dylan C.

The big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus) is a species of Yangochiroptera bat that uses complex, varying sounds to echolocate. Credit: Photo by Sherri and Brock Fenton New study is the first anatomical evidence for how two major groups of bats use echolocation differently. Two major groups of bats that use echolocation have different structures for connecting the inner ear to the brain, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Chicago, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Field Museum. The research, published recently in Nature, provides the first anatomical evidence of two distinctive inner ear structures used for processing bats’ echolocation signals. The study confirms previously discovered genetic evidence that echolocating bats belong to different evolutionary lineages, known respectively as “Yin” and “Yang” bats, and suggests that these two branches have different neuroanatomies of the inner ear for different styles of echolocation. “Biologists have speculated that the two major groups of bats have different ways of seeing the world through sound,” said the study’s lead author Benjamin Sulser, SB’16, a UChicago alum and current Ph.D. student at the American Museum of Natural History. “This is the first time we found different neuroanatomies in the inner ear, which give these bats different ways of processing the echolocating signal.” Yangochiroptera bats have an open inner ear canal with no wall, allowing for more evolutionary variation of the neurons in the ganglion, which is quite distinctive from other mammals. Credit: Image courtesy of April I. Neander Bats are unique mammals, the only group capable of powered flight. They are also extremely diverse, with about 1,440 species that make up more than 20% of all known mammal species. Most bats navigate their world through echolocation, a way of emitting distinct sounds and then listening for the returning echo. Echolocation helps bats orient themselves, forage for food, and avoid obstacles while flying. “The capacity to echolocate opened enormous ecological opportunities for bats, which ‘own’ the night skies. The complexity of this adaptation allows bats to use it in many different ways,” said Bruce Patterson, the MacArthur Curator of Mammals at the Field Museum and co-author of the study. Yin and Yang, Two Distinct Ways to Echolocate Bats’ sense of hearing is intricately related to biological adaptations for echolocation. About 20 years ago, molecular studies of the mammal tree of life revealed that echolocating bats belong to two lineages: Yinpterochiroptera, or “Yin” bats, and Yangochiroptera, or “Yang” bats. This suggests that the hearing function for echolocation evolved quite differently, possibly twice, among the bats. But a long-standing question remained: Do the ear structures differ between these two long-separated lineages of bats? Sulser began this work as part of his undergraduate thesis in the lab of Zhe-Xi Luo, Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at UChicago and senior author of the new study. He found that the inner ear ganglion, a major structure of neurons that connects the sound capturing structures of the inner ear to the brain, has different anatomical configurations between Yin and Yang bats. “It’s like these two types of bats are speaking different dialects of a language.” Prof. Zhe-Xi Luo The new findings started with CT scans of several teaching specimens of bat skulls from the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division at UChicago. After the initial discovery in 2016, it took another three years for the team to complete a full-scale survey across 39 species of bats from almost all bat families, using more specimens from both museums to corroborate their findings. Speaking Different Dialects In all mammals, including bats, the sense of hearing starts with hair cells in the inner ear that vibrate in response to sound waves. These hair cells are connected to nerve cells in the inner ear spiral ganglion, which is protected by a bony canal. The canal wall has a series of holes that allow nerve fibers to poke through and connect to the main auditory nerve going to the brain. Yin bats rely more heavily on constant frequency sounds for echolocation, while Yang bats use a more complex, modulated frequency. The team’s CT scanning showed that Yin bats, like most non-bat mammals, have a thick canal wall packed with tiny openings for the nerve fibers. However, most Yang bats have an open canal with no wall, allowing for more evolutionary variation of the neurons in the ganglion, which is quite distinctive from other mammals. The Yang bats are also much more evolutionary diverse than Yin bats, with about five times the number of species and more diverse modes of foraging. The team believes that the different ear anatomies may contribute to bat diversification. “We hypothesize that by developing this new configuration, without the space constraint on the inner ear ganglion, the Yang bats have a greater capacity for the ganglion cells to multiply and different ways to connect to the brain, unlike most other mammals,” Luo said. “A greater size of a ganglion and a greater number of neurons may have contributed to this big evolutionary diversification of bats relying more on frequency modulating echolocation.” Either way, both methods of echolocation contributed to the incredible evolutionary success of bats, Luo said: “These are different ways of achieving the same goal. It’s like these two types of bats are speaking different dialects of a language.” Reference: “Evolution of inner ear neuroanatomy of bats and implications for echolocation” by R.
