White Dwarf Pulses Like a Pulsar
New observations from Suzaku, a joint Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NASA X-ray observatory, have challenged scientists' conventional understanding of white dwarfs. Observers had believed white dwarfs were inert stellar corpses that slowly cool and fade away, but the new data tell... view more (2008-01-03)

New 150 Million-Year-Old Crab Species Discovered
Researchers from Kent State University and the University of Bucharest, Romania, have discovered a new primitive crab species Cycloprosopon dobrogea in eastern Romania. Previously unexamined, these ancient crabs from the Prosopidae family existed more than 150 million years ago during the Jurassic... view more (2007-10-18)

Smithsonian identifies invasive crab species in Panama Canal expansion area
A Smithsonian scientist and colleague report that a potentially harmful, invasive crab species that has spread to several countries is now established and reproducing in Panama.   view more (2007-09-20)

Tropical crab invades Georgia oyster reefs -- but the long-term impact can't be predicted
A dime-sized tropical crab that has invaded coastal waters in the Southeast United States is having both positive and negative effects on oyster reefs, leaving researchers unable to predict what the creature's long-term impact will be.   view more (2007-09-05)

First finding of a metabolite in 1 sex only
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered a chemical compound in male blue crabs that is not present in females -- the first time in any species that an entire enzyme system has been found to be activated in only one sex.   view more (2007-08-22)

Iowa State astrophysicists provide the eyes for new gamma ray telescope system

Tiny 'housekeeper' crabs help prevent coral death in South Pacific
Tiny crabs that live in South Pacific coral help to prevent the coral from dying by providing regular cleaning "services" that may be critical to the life of coral reefs around the world, according to scientists from the University of California, Santa Barbara.   view more (2006-10-24)

'Dead Zone' causing wave of death off Oregon coast
The most severe low-oxygen ocean conditions ever observed on the West Coast of the United States have turned parts of the seafloor off Oregon into a carpet of dead Dungeness crabs and rotting sea worms, a new survey shows. Virtually all of the fish appear to have fled the area.   view more (2006-08-11)
