 Nature GeoscienceClimate researchers discover new rhythm for El Niño Why El Niņo peaks around Christmas and ends quickly by February to April has been a long-standing mystery. The answer lies in an interaction between El Niņo and the annual cycle that results in an unusual tropical Pacific wind pattern with a period of 15 months, according to a team of scientists at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Their study appears in the May 26, 2013, online issue of Nature Geoscience.

Current BiologyScientists offer first definitive proof of bacteria-feeding behavior in green algae Researchers have captured images of green alga consuming bacteria, offering a glimpse at how early organisms dating back more than 1 billion years may have acquired free-living photosynthetic cells. This acquisition is thought to be a critical first step in the evolution of photosynthetic algae and land plants, which, in turn, contributed to the increase in oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere and ocean and provided one of the conditions necessary for animal evolution.

Scientists announce top 10 new species An amazing glow-in-the-dark cockroach, a harp-shaped carnivorous sponge and the smallest vertebrate on Earth are just three of the newly discovered top 10 species selected by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University. A global committee of taxonomists -- scientists responsible for species exploration and classification -- announced its list of top 10 species from 2012 today, May 23. Contact: Sandra Leander

Frontiers in Ecology and the EnvironmentThinking 'big' may not be best approach to saving large-river fish Large-river specialist fishes -- from giant species like paddlefish and blue catfish, to tiny crystal darters and silver chub -- are in danger, but researchers say there is greater hope to save them if major tributaries identified in a University of Wisconsin-Madison study become a focus of conservation efforts.

Frontiers in Neural CircuitsEyes on the prey For most animal species, moving objects play a major role in the processing of sensory impressions in the brain, as they often signal the presence of a welcome prey or an imminent threat. This is also true of the zebrafish larva, which has to react to the movements of its prey. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg have investigated how the brain uses the information from the visual system for the execution of quicker movements.

UC Riverside announces science research grants related to immortality Phenomena related to near-death experiences, immortality in virtual reality, and genes that prevent a species of freshwater hydra from aging are among the first research proposals funded by The Immortality Project at the University of California, Riverside.

Marine Mammal ScienceStudy reveals how fishing gear can cause slow death of whales Using a "patient monitoring" device attached to a whale entangled in fishing gear, scientists showed for the first time how fishing lines changed a whale's diving and swimming behavior. The monitoring revealed how fishing gear hinders whales' ability to eat and migrate, depletes their energy as they drag gear for months or years, and can result in a slow death.
