 Nature CommunicationsLiving fossils? Actually, sturgeon are evolutionary speedsters Efforts to restore sturgeon in the Great Lakes region have received a lot of attention in recent years, and many of the news stories note that the prehistoric-looking fish are "living fossils" virtually unchanged for millions of years.

Current BiologyRutgers findings may predict the future of coral reefs in a changing world Rutgers scientists have described for the first time the biological process of how corals create their skeletons, which form massive and ecologically vital coral reefs in the world's oceans. They identified specific proteins secreted by corals that precipitate carbonate to form the corals' characteristic skeleton.

TechConnect-National Innovation SummitPartnership aims to reduce pollution from 'microplastics' A grant to a VIMS research team will help them develop and test a biodegradable replacement for one of the two main sources of marine microplastic pollution -- the "microbeads" found in scores of household products.

Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research PapersMBARI research shows where trash accumulates in the deep sea Surprisingly large amounts of discarded trash end up in the ocean. Plastic bags, aluminum cans, and fishing debris not only clutter our beaches, but accumulate in open-ocean areas such as the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch." Now, a paper by researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute shows that trash is also accumulating in the deep sea, particularly in Monterey Canyon.

ZooKeysA lucky catch: A tiny new fish, Haptoclinus dropi, from the southern Caribbean A lucky catch, a new species of tiny blenniiform fish has been discovered as a part of the Smithsonian Institution's Deep Reef Observation Project. The new, beautifully colored Haptoclinus dropi was described in the open access journal Zookeys. Only about 2 cm long, it was collected from poorly studied deep reefs that lie beyond the reach of scuba divers. It represents the second species in the genus and an exciting catch for Caribbean marine diversity. Contact: Carole C. Baldwin

Journal of Microbiological MethodsAssay developed to rapidly detect disease that hurt oyster industry Scientists have developed a new, inexpensive and precise way to detect the toxin secreted by Vibrio tubiashii, a bacterial disease that a few years ago caused millions of dollars in losses to the oyster aquaculture industry in the Pacific Northwest.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNew model finds common muscle control patterns governing the motion of swimming animals What do swimmers like trout, eels and sandfish lizards have in common? According to a new study, the similar timing patterns that these animals use to contract their muscles and produce undulatory swimming motions can be explained using a simple model.

Freshwater BiologyAustralian lake untouched by climate change Researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that a lake on an island off the coast of Queensland, Australia, has been relatively untouched by changes in climate for the past 7,000 years, and has so far also resisted the impact of humans.
