Video: Seahorses have heads perfectly shaped to sneak up on copepods without alerting them, because the area just above and forward of their nostrils produces no fluid disturbance. This video shows a seahorse capturing a copepod. See the video, from the University of Texas at Austin,

 Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesQuality of biodiversity, not just quantity, is key A new study of biodiversity loss in a salt marsh finds that it's not just the total number of species preserved that matters; it's the number of key species. If humans want to reap the benefits of the full range of functions that salt marshes and other coastal ecosystems provide, we need to preserve the right mix of species.

BMC GenomicsNew genetic research finds shark, human proteins stunningly similar Despite widespread fascination, the world's oldest ocean predators have long been a genetic mystery. The first deep dive into a great white shark's genetic code has fished up big surprises. Cornell researchers have discovered that many of the endangered great white shark's proteins involved in an array of different functions -- including metabolism -- match humans more closely than they do zebrafish, the quintessential fish model.

Animal CognitionSharks prefer to sneak up from behind, study shows "Never turn your back on a shark" is the message from an article published in Springer's journal Animal Cognition. Erich Ritter of the Shark Research Institute and Raid Amin of the University of West Florida in the US contend that sharks can comprehend body orientation and therefore know whether humans are facing them or not. This ability helps sharks to approach and possibly attack their prey from the blind side -- a technique they prefer. Contact: Alexander Brown
