Southern indian ocean humpbacks found singing different tunes Posted: 01 Feb 2012 02:32 PM PST Humpback whales on both sides of the southern Indian Ocean are singing different tunes, unusual since humpbacks in the same ocean basin usually all sing very similar songs.

Coastal waters produce halogenated organic molecules that exacerbate stratospheric ozone depletion Posted: 01 Feb 2012 06:31 AM PST Coastal waters of the tropical Western Pacific produce natural halogenated organic molecules involving chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms that may damage the stratospheric ozone layer. This is the conclusion drawn from the initial findings of a field measurement campaign conducted in the South China Sea.

Satellite study reveals critical habitat and corridors for world's rarest gorilla Posted: 31 Jan 2012 12:08 PM PST Conservationists working in Central Africa to save the world's rarest gorilla have good news: the Cross River gorilla has more suitable habitat than previously thought, including vital corridors that, if protected, can help the great apes move between sites in search of mates.

Meet the beetles: Social networks provide clues to natural selection Posted: 30 Jan 2012 02:02 PM PST Forked fungus beetles are not pretty – they look like tree bark – but they're helping us better understand the evolution of social behavior, an evolutionary biologist said.

Effects of weather and sea-level rise on Florida's coast Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:45 PM PST Scientists have developed a novel computer model describing how future hurricanes and sea level rise may trigger changes to South Florida's native coastal forests.
