| Small male fish use high aggression strategy Posted: 31 Aug 2012 09:06 PM PDT In the deserts of central Australia lives a tough little fish known as the desert goby, and a new study is shedding light on the aggressive mating behaviour of smaller nest-holding males.  |
| Exposure to common toxic substances could increase asthma symptoms Posted: 31 Aug 2012 05:34 PM PDT Children who are exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which were commonly used in a range of industrial products, could be at risk of an increase in asthma symptoms, according to new research.  |
| Earthquake hazards map study finds deadly flaws Posted: 31 Aug 2012 11:52 AM PDT Three of the largest and deadliest earthquakes in recent history occurred where earthquake hazard maps didn't predict massive quakes. Scientists have recently studied the reasons for the maps' failure to forecast these quakes. They also explored ways to improve the maps. Developing better hazard maps and alerting people to their limitations could potentially save lives and money in areas such as the New Madrid, Missouri fault zone.  |
| No more sneezing: Allergen-free house plants Posted: 31 Aug 2012 05:33 AM PDT New research shows how targeting two bacterial genes into an ornamental plant Pelargonium, can produce long-lived and pollen-free plants. Pelargoniums ('Geraniums' and 'Storkbills') have been cultivated in Europe since the17th century and are now one of the most popular garden and house plants around the world.  |
