 Ecological ApplicationsOysters could rebound more quickly with limited fishing and improved habitat A new study shows that combining improved oyster restoration methods with limits on fishing in the upper Chesapeake could bring the oyster population back to the Bay in a much shorter period of time. The study led by Michael Wilberg of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science's Chesapeake Biological Laboratory assessed a range of management and restoration options to see which ones would have the most likelihood of success.

ScienceWarm ocean drives most Antarctic ice shelf loss, UC Irvine and others show Ocean waters melting the undersides of Antarctic ice shelves, not icebergs calving into the sea, are responsible for most of the continent's ice loss, a study by UC Irvine and others has found. Contact: Janet Wilson

SciencePutting flesh on the bones of ancient fish This week in the journal Science, Swedish and Australian researchers present the miraculously preserved musculature of 380 million year old fossil fishes, revealed by unique fossils from a locality in north-west Australia. The finds will help scientists to understand how neck muscles and abdominal muscles -- "abs" -- evolved. Contact: Per Ahlberg

CellNew fluorescent protein from eel revolutionizes key clinical assay Unagi, the sea-going Japanese freshwater eel, harbors a fluorescent protein that could serve as the basis for a revolutionary new clinical test for bilirubin, a critical indicator of human liver function, hemolysis, and jaundice, according to researchers from the RIKEN Brain Science Institute. The discovery also sheds light on the mysterious and endangered Unagi that could contribute to its conservation. Contact: Juliette Savin

Global Change BiologyRapid adaptation is purple sea urchins' weapon against ocean acidification In the race against climate change and ocean acidification, some sea urchins may still have a few tricks up their spiny sleeves, suggesting that adaptation will likely play a large role for the sea creatures as the carbon content of the ocean increases.

Nature CommunicationsQuestions rise about seeding for ocean C02 sequestration A study suggests that iron fertilization, the process of putting iron into the ocean to encourage the growth of C02 capturing alga blooms, could backfire.

Proceedings of the Royal Society BResearch shows male guppies reproduce even after death Performing experiments in a river in Trinidad, evolutionary biologist David Reznick at the University of California, Riverside and colleagues have found that male guppies -- small freshwater fish -- continue to reproduce for at least ten months after they die, living on as stored sperm in females, who have much longer lifespans than males. While it is well known that guppies store sperm, Reznick and his team had never before thought of the extent of the storage.

Nature CommunicationsMoving iron in Antarctica Georgia Tech research published online in Nature Communications indicates that diatoms stuff more iron into their silica shells than they actually need. As a result, there's not enough iron to go around, and the added iron during fertilization experiments may stimulate less productivity than expected.
