Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have found strong evidence that niche differences are critical to biodiversity. Their findings are published online in this week's issue of the journal Nature. (2009-08-13)
Ozone, nitrogen change the way rising CO2 affects Earth's water
Through a recent modeling experiment, a team of NASA-funded researchers have found that future concentrations of carbon dioxide and ozone in the atmosphere and of nitrogen in the soil are likely to have an important but overlooked effect on the cycling of water from sky to land to waterways. (2009-07-10)
Study of flower color shows evolution in action
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have zeroed in on the genes responsible for changing flower color, an area of research that began with Gregor Mendel's studies of the garden pea in the 1850's. (2009-06-30)
New NOAA report offers in-depth look at Northwestern Hawaiian islands marine life, ecosystems

Human impacts on coral reefs of Northwestern Hawaiian islands revealed
Results of a new study shed light on how threats to the world's endangered coral reef ecosystems can be more effectively managed. (2009-04-08)
The fragility of the world's coral is revealed through a study of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

Scripps Scientists Help Decode Mysterious Green Glow of the Sea
Many longtime sailors have been mesmerized by the dazzling displays of green light often seen below the ocean surface in tropical seas. (2009-04-02)
Bonefish census reveals population holding steady
If you're looking for bonefish from Miami down to the Marquesas Islands, you have about 321,000 to choose from, and that is down slightly from the average of previous censuses-mostly due to increased participation among those who are counting, researchers speculate. (2008-12-05)
