 PLOS ONECatastrophic climatic events leave corals facing a decade-long fight for recovery Coral reefs can take more than a decade to recover from catastrophic climatic events, with some species taking up to 13 years to recolonise their original habitats, scientists have discovered.

Plant intelligence for better swarm robots Plants scientists are teaming up with marine biologists, medical researchers and experts in computational intelligence to produce better robot swarms able to negotiate unpredictable terrain. Robot swarms are made up of hundreds of tiny robots working together. The way plants work will provide valuable insights into how to make individual robots work for the benefit of the swarm. For example, plants are able to sprout new shoots to catch light or seek out nutrients in the soil for the whole plant.

PLOS ONEAcidifying oceans could spell trouble for squid Acidifying oceans could dramatically impact the world's squid species, according to a new study led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution researchers and soon to be published in the journal PLOS ONE. Because squid are both ecologically and commercially important, that impact may have far-reaching effects on the ocean environment and coastal economies, the researchers report.

PLOS ONEClimate change threatens extinction for 82 percent of California native fish Of 121 native fish species in California, researchers predict 82 percent are likely to be driven to extinction or very low numbers as climate change speeds the decline of already depleted populations.

Proceedings of the Royal Society BGoing home For a better protection of marine turtles, scientists try to understand why they return to their birthplace in order to reproduce after rather long distance migrations. Using molecular tools applied to turtles from the Cape Verde islands, scientists from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (Germany) found females from different islands have different immune genes, suggesting that returning home to reproduce is linked to advantages in parasite resistance. The study is now published in the "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences." Contact: Jan Steffen

Current BiologyHow the turtles got their shells Through careful study of an ancient ancestor of modern turtles, researchers now have a clearer picture of how the turtles' most unusual shell came to be. The findings, reported on May 30 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, help to fill a 30- to 55-million-year gap in the turtle fossil record through study of an extinct South African reptile known as Eunotosaurus.
