Ships bring alien jellyfish invaders to our shores
Marine environments around the world are being threatened by exotic species of the moon jellyfish being dispersed by international shipping, according to new research. view more (2005-08-16)
'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)
How plants manage calcium may reduce effects of acid rain
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could lead to modifying plants to avoid damage from acid rain. The pollutant disrupts calcium balance in plants by leaching significant amounts of the mineral from leaves as well as the agricultural and forest soils the plants live in. view more (2007-03-12)
Evolution reveals an independent route for diversity in animal form
Researchers have found that Cnidaria, a group of marine animals noted for diverse morphology among its constituent species, actually lacks the ancient "Hox" gene system that is essential for the development of most other animals. view more (2006-05-05)
Shark attack worries? Driving to the beach is more deadly
Which is more likely to happen-you being in a car wreck or being bitten by a shark? Those who answered that cars are greater killers win a free trip to the beach view more (2005-06-30)
Plants' management of nutrient suggests environmental remedies
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could potentially lead to genetically engineering plants to avoid damage from acid rain, which robs soil of much of its calcium. view more (2007-03-09)
Scientist warns of threat to last stronghold of endangered turtle
A major conservation effort, led by Dr Brendan Godley of the University of Exeter, has just got underway to help protect endangered leatherback turtles which nest in Gabon, West Africa. view more (2006-03-07)
Origins of nervous system found in genes of sea sponge
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have discovered significant clues to the evolutionary origins of the nervous system by studying the genome of a sea sponge, a member of a group considered to be among the most ancient of all animals. view more (2007-06-06)
Study reveals body's defense mechanism worsens asthma symptoms
MUHC scientists have discovered that our body's own defense mechanism causes some of the most serious asthma symptoms. view more (2005-08-12)
Squid-inspired design could mean better handling of underwater vehicles
Inspired by the sleek and efficient propulsion of squid, jellyfish and other cephalopods, a University of Colorado at Boulder researcher has designed a new generation of compact vortex generators that could make it easier for scientists to maneuver and dock underwater vehicles at low speeds and with greater precision. view more (2006-12-13)
Sea Coral's Trick Helps Scientists Tag Proteins
The glow emitted by a variety of sea coral helped Russian scientists harness the protein that generates the light to create a tiny fluorescent tag that responds to visible light. view more (2006-03-20)
Fossil record reveals elusive jellyfish more than 500 million years old
Using recently discovered "fossil snapshots" found in rocks more than 500 million years old, three University of Kansas researchers have described the oldest definitive jellyfish ever found. view more (2007-10-31)
Scripps Scientists Discover Fluorescence in Key Marine Creature
Fluorescent proteins found in nature have been employed in a variety of scientific research purposes, from markers for tracing molecules in biomedicine to probes for testing environmental quality. Until now, such proteins have been identified mostly in jellyfish and corals, leading to the belief that the capacity for fluorescence in animals is... view more... (2007-10-31)
Dr H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics 2002 for Roger Y. Tsien
The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences has awarded the Dr H.P. Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics 2002 (USD 150,000) to Professor Roger Y. Tsien Department of Pharmacology, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, University of California, San Diego and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, United States ‘for... view more... (2002-04-15)
New undersea vent suggests snake-headed mythology
A new "black smoker" — an undersea mineral chimney emitting hot, iron-darkened water that attracts unusual marine life — has been discovered at about 8,500 feet underwater by an expedition currently exploring a section of volcanic ridge along the Pacific Ocean floor off Costa Rica. view more (2007-04-18)
New deep-sea hydrothermal vents, life form discovered
A new "black smoker"—an undersea mineral chimney emitting hot springs of iron-darkened water—has been discovered at 8,500-foot depths by an expedition funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to explore the Pacific Ocean floor off Costa Rica. view more (2007-04-20)
Nanosecond-scale release of stinging jellyfish nematocysts
By using an electronic ultra-high-speed camera, researchers have characterized the explosive discharge of stinging jellyfish nematocytes and show that this event represents one of the fastest cellular processes in nature. view more (2006-05-09)
Brown Scientists Explain Inception of Perception in the Brain
The taste of champagne, the sound of a train, the flash of a pop fly into left field - indeed all of human perception - begins in the brain's center. That's where sensory information passes from the thalamus to the neocortex for processing. view more (2007-03-06)
Exceptionally deep view of strange galaxy
A spectacular new image of an unusual spiral galaxy in the Coma Galaxy Cluster has been created from data taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. view more (2009-02-06)
Scientists Discover Stinging Truths About Jellyfish Blooms in the Bering Sea
A new study helps explain a cyclic increase and decrease of jellyfish populations, which transformed parts of the Bering Sea--one of the U.S.'s most productive fisheries--into veritable jellytoriums during the 1990s. view more (2008-05-30)
