Public Release: 11-Apr-2013
Cyclone Imelda turned the corner on NASA satellite imagery An area of low pressure moving toward Cyclone Imelda from the west has turned the storm to the south from its westward track, as NASA's Aqua satellite passed overhead and captured a visible and an infrared image of the powerful storm that showed the effects of wind shear.

Northeastern NaturalistGoosefish capture small puffins over deep water of Northwest Atlantic A recent study has shown that bottom-dwelling goosefish, also known as monkfish, prey on dovekies, a small Arctic seabird and the smallest member of the puffin family. To understand how this deep-water fish finds a shallow-feeding bird in offshore waters, researchers looked at when, where, and how these animals were most likely to be in the same place at the same time.

Genome BiologyScientists decode genome of painted turtle, revealing clues to extraordinary adaptations A UCLA scientist and other researchers who have just sequenced the first turtle genome uncovered clues about how people can benefit from the shelled creatures' remarkable longevity and ability to survive long stretches without oxygen. Understanding the natural mechanisms turtles use to protect the heart and brain from oxygen deprivation may one day improve treatments for heart attack or stroke. Lead author UCLA Professor Brad Shaffer collaborated with Washington University's Genome Institute and 58 co-authors. Contact: Alison Hewitt

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesExtreme algae blooms: The new normal? A 2011 record-breaking algae bloom in Lake Erie was triggered by long-term agricultural practices coupled with extreme precipitation, followed by weak lake circulation and warm temperatures, scientists have discovered.

Research enables fishermen to harvest lucrative shellfish on Georges Bank New scientific understanding of toxic algal blooms on Georges Bank, along with an at-sea and dockside testing protocol, has allowed fishermen to harvest ocean quahogs and surf clams in these offshore waters for the first time in more than two decades. The Georges Bank surf clam and ocean quahog fishery has an estimated annual value of $10-15 million.

PLOS ONEGreat white sharks Captain Chris Fallows from Apex Expeditions collaborated with University of Miami scientists Dr. Neil Hammerschlag and Austin Gallagher, to explore the behaviors of Great white sharks scavenging on dead whales in South Africa. The team documented as many as 40 different sharks scavenging on a carcass over the course of a single day, revealing unique social interactions among sharks.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesNot slippery when wet: Geckos adhere to surfaces submerged underwater Geckos are known for their sticky adhesive toes that allow them to stick to, climb on, and run along surfaces in any orientation -- even upside down! But until recently, it was not well understood how geckos kept their sticking ability even on wet surfaces, as are common in the tropical regions in which most geckos live.

Geophysical Research LettersNew chart shows the entire topography of the Antarctic seafloor in detail for the first time Reliable information on the depth and floor structure of the Southern Ocean has so far been available for only few coastal regions of the Antarctic. An international team of scientists under the leadership of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, has for the first time succeeded in creating a digital map of the entire Antarctic seafloor.

Global Change BiologySea level rise: Jeopardy for terrestrial biodiversity on islands Model calculations predict a sea level rise of one meter by the end of this century and of up to 5.5 meters by 2500. Until now there are few studies on the potential impacts of a rising sea level on biodiversity. Florian Wetzel and colleagues of the Vetmeduni Vienna and Walter Jetz of Yale University now show that many terrestrial vertebrates will likely suffer. Their findings are published online in the journal "Global Change Biology". Contact: Prof. Dustin Penn

Nature GeoscienceHuman shadow cast over the Caribbean slows coral growth Striking Caribbean sunsets occur when particles in the air scatter incoming sunlight. But a particulate shadow over the sea may have effects underwater. A research team, including staff scientist Héctor Guzmán from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, linked airborne particles caused by volcanic activity and air pollution to episodes of slow coral-reef growth.
