Public Release: 9-Apr-2013
 Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesSurf's up: Turbulence tells sea urchins to settle down Tumbling in the waves as they hit a rocky shore tells purple sea urchin larvae it's time to settle down and look for a spot to grow into an adult, researchers at UC Davis's Bodega Marine Laboratory have found.

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.

Nature GeoscienceAir pollution stunts coral growth A new study has found that pollution from fine particles in the air -- mainly the result of burning coal or volcanic eruptions -- can shade corals from sunlight and cool the surrounding water resulting in reduced growth rates.

ScienceRemote reefs can be tougher than they look Isolated coral reefs can recover from catastrophic damage as effectively as those with nearby undisturbed neighbours, a long-term study by marine biologists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies has shown. Scott Reef, a remote coral system in the Indian Ocean, has largely recovered from a catastrophic mass bleaching event in 1998, according to the study published in Science today.

 Dissertations and FeaturesUNH scientists document first expansion of 'sea potato' seaweed into New England There's a new seaweed in town, a brown, bulbous balloon befitting the nickname "sea potato." Its New England debut was spotted by two University of New Hampshire plant biology graduate students; now researchers are keeping a close eye on Colpomenia peregrina's progress to determine whether there is cause for alarm.

PLOS ONEAn ancient biosonar sheds new light on the evolution of echolocation in toothed whales Some thirty million years ago, Ganges river dolphins diverged from other toothed whales, making them one of the oldest species of aquatic mammals that use echolocation, or biosonar, to navigate and find food. This also makes them ideal subjects for scientists working to understand the evolution of echolocation among toothed whales.
