New families of viruses found in Antarctic lakes

The aquatic ecosystems of Antarctica keep turning up surprises for scientists, who have found flourishing ecosystems comprised mostly of microorganisms. A new paper, published in Science , examined samples drawn from an Antarctic lake and tracked seasonal changes in the viruses that prey on these bacteria. They found large, diverse populations of viruses, some of which have never been seen underwater...

Dwindling fish stocks force pelicans to eat gannet chicks

Gannets on the island of Malgas in South Africa are in a bit of a pinch. Usually they nest with one parent out fishing, while the other parent guards the chick. However, fewer fish to catch means both parents have to go hunting and leave the chick unguarded. This leaves an opportunity open for pelicans who have adopted a bizarre survival strategy. Rather than fly out to fish for themselves, they're...

DNA 'Barcode' For Tropical Trees

In foods, soil samples or customs checks, plant fragments sometimes need to be quickly identified. The use of DNA "barcodes" to itemize plant biodiversity was proposed during the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Summit. Researchers have now tested this method in the tropical forest.
