 Journal of the Royal Society InterfaceUCSB study reveals mechanism behind squids' and octopuses' ability to change color Color in living organisms can be formed two ways: Pigmentation or anatomical structure. Structural colors arise from the physical interaction of light with biological nanostructures. A wide range of organisms possess this ability, but the biological mechanisms underlying the process have been poorly understood. Contact: Julie Cohen

NatureStudy explains Pacific equatorial cold water region A new study published this week in the journal Nature reveals for the first time how the mixing of cold, deep waters from below can change sea surface temperatures on seasonal and longer timescales.

NatureDeciphering the air-sea communication A German-Russian research team has investigated the role of heat exchange between ocean and atmosphere in long-term climate variability in the Atlantic. The scientists analyzed meteorological measurements and sea surface temperatures over the past 130 years. It was found that the ocean significantly affects long term climate fluctuations, while the seemingly chaotic atmosphere is mainly responsible for the shorter-term, year-to-year changes. The paper appeared in the recent issue of Nature.

Environmental DevelopmentManaging waters shared across national boundaries: Treasury of papers helps capture 20 years of lessons A treasury of new articles capture expert advice and lessons learned through $7 billion in projects over 20 years involving waters shared across national boundaries. The articles explore, eg: managing shared water in the Arab region; climate change impacts on North Atlantic fisheries; co-operative stewardship of the massive aquifer under Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay; and sharing the Nile River -- a vital resource to 300 million people in 11 countries.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNewly discovered marine viruses offer glimpse into untapped biodiversity Studying bacteria from the Baltic Sea, University of Arizona researchers have discovered an entire array of previously unknown viruses that use these bacteria as hosts. By impacting the life cycles of these bacteria, the viruses play indirect but crucial ecological roles in environments ranging from the oceans and sea ice to the human gut.

Endangered Species ResearchAre North Atlantic right whales mating in the Gulf of Maine? Using data obtained during six years of regular aerial surveys and genetics data collected by a consortium of research groups, scientists have strengthened evidence pointing to the central Gulf of Maine as a mating ground for North Atlantic right whales, according to a study recently published online in the journal Endangered Species Research.

Zoological Journal of the Linnean SocietySmithsonian finds color patterns in fish larvae may reveal relationships among species Similarities in how different organisms look can indicate a close evolutionary relationship. Conversely, great differences in appearance can suggest a very distant relationship, as in many adult marine fish species. For the first time, however, a Smithsonian scientist has found that color patterns of different fish species in the larval stage can be very similar, revealing a closer evolutionary relationship than their adult forms would suggest.

Environmental Science & TechnologyStudy investigates extraordinary trout with tolerance to heavily polluted water New research from the University of Exeter and King's College London has shown how a population of brown trout can survive in the contaminated waters of the River Hayle in Cornwall where metal concentrations are so high they would be lethal to fish from unpolluted sites. The team believe this is due to changes in the expression of their genes. The research was funded by NERC and the Salmon and Trout Association.
