For some algae, it pays to be little
Climate-driven changes to the Arctic Ocean are making "ecological winners" out of the small guys in the region, the tiny, marine algae called picoplankton, scientists have found. These itsy bitsy organisms are less than 2 micrometers across, smaller than the naked eye can see.

From thought to speech in 600 milliseconds
If a biologist wants to know how something in the human body works, one of the best ways to do this is to study the same process in other animals. But, what about language? We're the only animals who talk!

Algae was quick to recover
About 65 million years ago, an asteroid struck the Earth and disrupted ecosystems around the world. Many of the creatures on the planet then died off and went extinct. This traumatic event is known as the K-T boundary or the K-T extinction event.

Watching eels cross the ocean
It is extremely difficult to track the movements of individual fish in the ocean -- but it seems that scientists are getting closer to that goal. This week in the journal Science, a team of researchers report that they have successfully followed a group of European eels during the first 800 miles of a long, 3,100-mile migration.
