| Animal-eye view of the world revealed with new visual software Posted: 06 Aug 2015 08:21 AM PDT New camera technology that reveals the world through the eyes of animals has been developed. The software, which converts digital photos to animal vision, can be used to analyze colors and patterns and is particularly useful for the study of animal and plant signalling, camouflage and animal predation, but could also prove useful for anyone wanting to measure colors accurately and objectively.  |
| The secret to the success of insects Posted: 06 Aug 2015 07:22 AM PDT A new family of glycerol transporters may help to explain why insects are the most successful group of organisms in the history of life. Excluding bacteria, insects represent more than half of the world´s biodiversity and are thus considered to be the most evolutionary successful group of terrestrial organisms ever.  |
| Population changes, priorities cause woodlands to increase Posted: 06 Aug 2015 07:22 AM PDT Woody plant encroachment is one of the biggest challenges facing rangelands worldwide, but it consistently has been under-measured and poorly understood, said an expert who is trying to change both the understanding and measurement with his latest study.  |
| Natural selection, key to evolution, also can impede formation of new species Posted: 06 Aug 2015 06:12 AM PDT An intriguing study involving walking stick insects shows how natural selection, the engine of evolution, can also impede the formation of new species.  |
| Ocean changes are affecting salmon biodiversity, survival Posted: 03 Aug 2015 12:50 PM PDT What happens at the Equator, doesn't stay at the Equator. El Nino-associated changes in the ocean may be putting the biodiversity of two Northern Pacific salmon species at risk, according to a study.  |
