 Nature CommunicationsAn 'extinct' frog makes a comeback in Israel The first amphibian to have been officially declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature has been rediscovered in the north of Israel after some 60 years and turns out to be a unique "living fossil," without close relatives among other living frogs.

PLOS Neglected Tropical DiseasesMosquitoes reared in cooler temperatures more susceptible to viruses that can affect human health Virginia Tech scientists have discovered mosquitoes reared in cooler temperatures have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to dangerous viruses and thus more likely to transmit diseases to people. The finding may have a bearing on urban epidemics resulting from viral diseases, such as West Nile fever and chikungunya fever, which are transmitted by infected mosquitoes.

GeodiversitasA new species of marine fish from 408 million years ago discovered in Teruel Researchers from the University of Valencia and the Natural History Museum of Berlin have studied the fossilised remains of scales and bones found in Teruel and the south of Zaragoza, ascertaining that they belong to a new fish species called Machaeracanthus goujeti that lived in that area of the peninsula during the Devonian period. The fossils are part of the collection housed in the Palaeontology Museum of Zaragoza. Contact: SINC

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesResearchers discover a new way fish camouflage themselves in the ocean Researchers found that lookdown fish camouflage themselves through a complex manipulation of polarized light after it strikes the fish skin. In laboratory studies, they showed that this kind of camouflage outperforms by up to 80 percent the "mirror" strategy that was previously thought to be state-of-the-art in fish camouflage.

ZooKeysThe jewels of the ocean: 2 new species and a new genus of octocorals from the Pacific Two new beautiful species of octocorals and a new genus have been described from the well explored west coast of North America. Despite the 3,400 known species nowadays, these colorful marine jewels continue to surprise with new discoveries which calls for a detailed exploration of the remarkable biodiversity of octocorals. The study was published in the open access journal Zookeys. Contact: Gary C. Williams

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesHidden effects of climate change may threaten eelgrass meadows Some research has shown that the effects of changes in the climate may be weak or even non-existent. This makes it easy to conclude that climate change will ultimately have less impact than previous warnings have predicted. But it could also be explained as direct and indirect effects cancelling each other out, as scientists from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, show in a paper recently published in PNAS, the esteemed US scientific journal.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesEnzyme from wood-eating gribble could help turn waste into biofuel Robust enzyme discovery that could help lead to sustainable biofuels. Enzyme to create liquid fuel from wood could be produced in the same way that enzymes for biological washing detergents are made. First 3-D image of aquatic animal enzyme provides previously undiscovered picture of how it works.

Nature GeoscienceResearchers document acceleration of ocean denitrification during deglaciation As ice sheets melted during the deglaciation of the last ice age and global oceans warmed, oceanic oxygen levels decreased and "denitrification" accelerated by 30 to 120 percent, a new international study shows, creating oxygen-poor marine regions and throwing the oceanic nitrogen cycle off balance.
