- Hydrothermal vents: Hot spots of microbial diversity
10-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Thousands of new kinds of marine microbes have been discovered at two deep-sea hydrothermal vents off the Oregon coast by scientists at the MBL and University of Washington's Joint Institute for the Study of Atmosphere and Ocean. Their findings, published in the Oct. 5 issue of the journal Science, are the result of the most comprehensive, comparative study to date of deep-sea microbial communities that are responsible for cycling carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur to help keep Earth habitable.

- Study finds the air rich with bacteria
12-19-2006 · EurekAlert!
The air could be teeming with more than 1,800 types of bacteria, according to a first-of-its-kind census of airborne microbes recently conducted by scientists from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

- Smithsonian study concludes Caribbean extinctions occurred 2M years after apparent cause
03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Smithsonian scientists and colleagues report a new study that may shake up the way paleontologists think about how environmental change shapes life on Earth. The researchers summarized the environmental, ecological and evolutionary consequences for Caribbean shallow-water marine communities when the Isthmus of Panama was formed. They concluded that extinctions resulting when one ocean became two were delayed by 2 million years.

- Oregon researchers study widespread areas of low oxygen off northwest coast
02-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
A team of scientists, including NOAA's William Peterson, studying the California Current -- a slow-moving mass of cold water that travels south along the coast from British Columbia to Baja California -- are seeing increasing areas of water off Washington and Oregon with little or no oxygen, possibly resulting in the deaths of marine animals that cannot leave the low-oxygen areas.

- Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists discover new gene that prevents multiple types of cancer
02-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
A decades-old cancer mystery has been solved by researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). "We not only found a critical tumor suppressor gene, but have revealed a master switch for a tumor suppressive network that means more targeted and effective cancer therapy in the future," said CSHL Associate Professor Alea Mills, Ph.D. The study, headed by Mills, was published in the February issue of Cell.

- Stealth camouflage at night
03-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
In a paper published in the April 2007 issue of The American Naturalist, MBL (Marine Biological Laboratory) senior scientist Roger Hanlon and his colleagues report, for the first time, that giant Australian cuttlefish employ night camouflage to adapt quickly to a variety of microhabitats on temperate rock reefs. The research sheds light on the animal's remarkable visual system and nighttime predator/prey interactions.

- D-cycloserine reduces cocaine-seeking behavior in 'addicted' mice
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory provide further evidence that a drug known as D-cycloserine could play a role in helping to extinguish the craving behaviors associated with drug addiction. Their study found that mice treated with D-cycloserine were less likely to spend time in an environment where they had previously been trained to expect cocaine than mice treated with a placebo.
