4. The love song of male túngara frogs
   02-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Male túngara frogs produce two types of calls to attract females: simple and complex. Female túngara frogs, as well as unintended receivers such as frog-eating bats and blood-sucking flies, prefer complex to simple mating calls. Bernal et al. tested whether bats and flies prefer complex calls because they indicate higher quality males and/or higher male density. The authors found that call complexity indicate higher abundance of prey/host.

6. New science of metagenomics 'will transform modern microbiology'
   03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The emerging field of metagenomics, where the DNA of entire communities of microbes is studied simultaneously, presents the greatest opportunity -- perhaps since the invention of the microscope -- to revolutionize understanding of the microbial world, says a new report from the National Research Council. The report calls for a new Global Metagenomics Initiative to drive advances in the field in the same way that the Human Genome Project advanced the mapping of our genetic code.

10. Congressional proposals would cover all uninsured, reduce US health spending by up to $61B
    03-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A new analysis of health-reform bills in Congress prepared for the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System shows that many current Congressional health-care proposals could significantly reduce the number of uninsured Americans and also decrease overall health-care expenditures including those for insurance administration and prescription drugs. The analysis finds that many of the plans would do more to cover uninsured Americans than the current Administration proposal.
