2. Present-day species of piranha result from a marine incursion into the Amazon Basin
   12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A research team involving IRD scientists has acquired a better understanding of the evolutionary history of piranhas. About 4 million years BP, rise in sea level appears to have brought about the isolation of small populations of piranhas in the upper reaches of the great rivers. This situation favoured speciation and hence the formation of the present species. Such populations would then have descended to colonize the lowland waters of these rivers following the regression of the Atlantic Ocean.

   11-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A multidisciplinary research team from six institutions has for the first time successfully anticipated and chronicled a seafloor eruption along the global mid-ocean ridge, the most active volcanic system on Earth. The event along the East Pacific Rise has provided researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) with a rare opportunity to observe what happens in the immediate aftermath of an eruption.

    09-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Analyses conducted by researchers from Université Laval's Center for Northern Studies reveal that the continent's northernmost lake is affected by climate change. The research team reports that life in Ward Hunt Lake, located on a small island in the Canadian Arctic, has undergone major transformations within the last two centuries. The speed and range of these transformations suggest that climate change related to human activity could be at the source of this phenomenon.
