WHAT FACTORS FAVOUR THE ECOLOGICAL DIVERSITY OBSERVED IN ATOLL LAGOONS ?
The first step in the investigation was the mapping by remote sensing techniques of more than two-thirds of the 76 atolls of the Tuamotu archipelago. High resolution maps, which did not exist before, were then established. Using the cartographic data thus gleaned alongside morphometric parameters picked out (size and shape of the lagoons, degree... view more... (1999-04-14)
Cyanobacteria ("blue-green algae") produce toxin with possible connection to neurodegerative disorders
It is well known that a tiny number of cyanobacteria, previously known as blue-green algae, produce substances that can be toxic to both humans and animals. Now a research team from Sweden, Scotland, and the U.S. has found that a further toxin (BMAA, -methyl amino-alanine) with a possible connection to degenerative nerve diseases like ALS,... view more...

Smithsonian study concludes Caribbean extinctions occurred 2M years after apparent cause
Smithsonian scientists and colleagues report a new study that may shake up the way paleontologists think about how environmental change shapes life on Earth. The researchers summarized the environmental, ecological and evolutionary consequences for Caribbean shallow-water marine communities when the Isthmus of Panama was formed. view more (2007-03-13)
Microbiologists meet Scottish Parliament to discuss the environment
Environmental issues such as waste management, GM crops, energy and pollution dominate much of the work of the Scottish Parliament. MSPs will be able to find out about the latest research from scientists at this year's 'Science and the Parliament' event today, Wednesday, 12 November at The Signet Library, Edinburgh. Experts from the Society for... view more... (2003-11-07)
Microbialities: Indicators Of Environmental And Climatic Changes?
Microbial communities can adapt to and colonize all kinds of habitat, owing to their metabolic versatility. They occur in abyssal oceanic situations, in polar ice caps, also in thermal springs, lakes, rivers, deserts and on carbonate (karst) platform systems. Under favourable conditions, the microbial communities can proliferate and contribute to... view more... (2002-09-27)
Corals switch skeleton material as seawater changes
Leopards may not be able to change their spots, but corals can change their skeletons, building them out of different minerals depending on the chemical composition of the seawater around them. view more (2006-07-07)
