What Crawls Beneath: Ground Spider Diversity Linked To Healthy Habitat
None of Takesha Henderson's discoveries are named Charlotte, but they are weaving a new chapter in Texas entomology. Her graduate studies at Texas A&M University have led to the discovery of 25 new spiders in Brazos County and one species found for the first time in Texas. In research sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Henderson, who is earning a master's degree, has been studying ground spider diversity, distribution and abundance. Live Birth -- Key To Much Marine Life -- Depends Upon Evolution Of Chr
A new analysis of extinct sea creatures suggests that the transition from egg-laying to live-born young opened up evolutionary pathways that allowed these ancient species to adapt to and thrive in open oceans. Proof Positive: Mars Once Had Water, Researchers Conclude
There is undeniable proof that water once existed on the planet Mars, a team of researchers has concluded in a series of 11 articles this week in a special issue of the journal Science. Clay Studies Alter View Of Early Mars Environment
A study of the thermodynamics of clays found on Mars suggests that little carbon dioxide could have been present during their formation, which contradicts a popular theory of the early Martian atmosphere and will send researchers looking for other explanations for clay formation. National Weather Service: Lightning Safety
This website provides information about lightning safety, covering topics such as safety outdoors and indoors, safe shelters, the history and science of lightning, and medical issues. Includes lightning strike statistics, fact sheets, publications, teacher resources, survivor stories, photographs, and links. Also features information about Lightning Safety Awareness Week, held annually in June. Two Ships That Crash in the Night
A short film tells the story of two people who find they have so much in common, it's scary. In Table of Malcontents. Australian Discovery Could Lead To New Leukemia Treatments
Australian scientists have identified a protein that could hold the key to new leukemia treatments. New Understanding Of Cell Movement May Yield Ways To Brake Cancer's Sp
A Burnham Institute study has identified a fragment of a protein that senses chemicals that induce a cell to move into the right direction. Guided by this fragment, the molecular machinery needed for cell movement begins accumulating at the leading edge, or front of a cell in response to a variety of chemical messengers, and begins the directed process of migration. Space Sunshade Might Be Feasible In Global Warming Emergency
Developing renewable energy is the only permanent solution to global warming, University of Arizona astronomer Roger Angel concludes. But should Earth be faced with an abrupt climate crisis, a space sunshade is a technically feasible solution. California Computer Scientists Double Volume Of Data In NIH Biotech Re
In the journal Genome Research, a group led by UCSD reports its use of a very fast and relatively low-cost computational tool to 'crunch' the world's largest repository of genotypes to predict their haplotypes roughly 1,000 times faster than the prevailing technology until now. Their findings are featured in a special issue of the journal Genome Research, published today.
