| Running hot and cold in the deep sea: Scientists explore rare environment Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:57 PM PST It's extremely rare to find hot hydrothermal vents and cold methane seeps intersecting in one place, but that's what researchers found and explored during an expedition in 2010. A description of the scientists' findings, including a large number of mysterious, undescribed species, has just been published. |
| The cutting edge: Exploring the efficiency of bladed tooth shape Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:56 PM PST Using a combination of guillotine-based experiments and cutting-edge computer modeling, researchers have explored the most efficient ways for teeth to slice food. Their results show just how precisely the shape of an animal's teeth is optimized to suit the type of food it eats. |
| New advances in science of carbon accounting Posted: 06 Mar 2012 11:25 AM PST Determining with precision the carbon balance of North America is complicated, but researchers have devised a method that considerably advances the science. |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2012 11:25 AM PST A professor has converted the seismic waves from last year's historic Japanese earthquake into audio files. The results allow experts and general audiences to "hear" what the quake sounded like as it moved through the earth and around the globe. |
| Using a gun in bear encounters doesn't make you safer Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:19 AM PST Carrying a gun in bear country doesn't mean you're more protected in the event of a bear encounter, according to new research. Firing a gun is no more effective in keeping people from injury or death during bear attacks than not using a firearm, new research shows. |
| Carp dominate crayfish in invasive species battleground Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:13 AM PST Common carp and Louisiana red swamp crayfish are some of the most invasive species on the planet yet how they interact has been poorly understood until now. Scientists investigated their relationship in the waters of Kenya's Lake Naivasha over eight years. |
| How protein machinery binds and wraps DNA to start replication Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:12 AM PST Scientists have deciphered molecular-level details of the complex choreography by which intricate cellular proteins recognize and bind to DNA to start the DNA replication process. The research may point to ways to block unwanted cell division. |
| How world's smallest DNA virus evolved in rare parakeets Posted: 06 Mar 2012 10:11 AM PST Scientists have gained new insight into a rare virus that is threatening to wipe out the Mauritius parakeet -- one of the world's most endangered species of parrot. |
| Hiding behavior of the scrub jay: More stress than smarts? Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:29 AM PST The fact that scrub jays continually move their food from one hiding place to another (known as recaching) does not necessarily imply subtle social intelligence on their part – it could simply be due to stress. |
