3. The conservation lens
   10-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
   An interdisciplinary team of US, UK and Chilean taxonomists, ecologists and philosophers explored the world's southernmost forest and tundra ecosystems to estimate the diversity of the dominant vegetation, namely tiny bryophytes and lichens. They assess its regional and global significance in their study, "Changing lenses to assess biodiversity: patterns of species richness in sub-Antarctic plants and implications for global conservation." The work appears in the online issue of Frontiers of Ecology and the Environment.

4. Human clones: New U.N. analysis lays out world's choices
   11-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In an analysis for world governments, the U.N. University's Institute of Advanced Studies warns of a stark choice: reach a compromise agreement quickly that outlaws human reproductive cloning or start preparations to protect the rights of cloned individuals from potential abuse, prejudice and discrimination. A legally-binding global ban on work to create a human clone, coupled with freedom for nations to permit strictly controlled therapeutic research, has the greatest political viability of options available to the international community, says the report.

   The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with a boost from a natural "zoom lens," has found the strongest evidence so far for a galaxy with a redshift significantly above 7. It is likely to be one of the youngest and brightest galaxies ever seen right after the cosmic "dark ages," just 700 million years after the beginning of our universe (redshift ~7.6).
