  Study documents marathon migrations of sooty shearwaters
Scientists have long known that sooty shearwaters breed in New Zealand and Chile and migrate to feeding grounds in the Northern Hemisphere.
The researchers found that the migratory cycle of sooty shearwaters encompasses the entire Pacific Basin, focusing on the richest feeding grounds in both hemispheres--from Antarctic waters in the south during the breeding season to bountiful coastal currents off California, Alaska, and Japan in the north.
Sooty shearwaters are one of the most abundant bird species in the world, with a total population estimated at about 20 million.

 Sooty Mold of Conifers and Hardwoods
However, sooty molds may be indirectly detrimental to plants by excluding sunlight and interfering with photosynthesis in the leaves.
Although sooty molds do not directly infect plants, severely affected plants may be yellowed and suffer defoliation from the combined effects of insect feeding and the reduction in photosynthesis that results from blockage of sunlight by the fungus.
Although sooty mold usually does not cause dieback or mortality, the insect feeding that preceded the sooty mold infestation may be severe enough to weaken or kill portions of infested plants.

 SOOTY | A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW

One of the keys to the magic of Sooty's total acceptance by his audience was the fact that his creator himself regarded the puppet as an almost living being.

 How To Recognize and Control Sooty Molds   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sooty molds are dark fungi that grow on honeydew excreted by sucking insects or on exudates from leaves of certain plants.
Many sooty mold fungi have mucilaginous cell walls that help them adhere to the surfaces on which they grow and also serve to prolong periods of wetness by absorbing moisture for their growth.
Because sooty molds are more common under warm conditions, the higher temperatures and increased drought stress brought on by a changing climate are expected to increase the prevalence of sooty molds.
