Poison frogs rely on experience to find the way home in the rainforest
Abstract Among vertebrates, comparable spatial learning abilities have been found in birds, mammals, turtles and fishes, but virtually nothing is known about such abilities in amphibians. Overall, amphibians are the most sedentary vertebrates, but poison...
Eight-Eyed Horror: Peering Into Jumping Spiders' Explosive Brains
It’s difficult to study the jumping spider’s brain, but researchers have found a new technique that lets them analyze the spider’s neural activity. Aria e Recitativo: Anch'io dischiuso un giorno by Giuseppe Verdi on Grooveshark

Ecosystem-shaping interactions between consumers and plants are notoriously variable. Indeed, even within a single system (and a single pair of interacting species) enormous variability can be seen
Ferrando A., Gonzalez E ., Franco M., Commendatore M., Nievas M., Militon C., Stora G., Gilbert F., Esteves JL. & Cuny P. Spill effects on macrofaunal communities and bioturbation of pristine marine sediments (Caleta Valdés, Patagonia, Argentina): experimental evidence of low resistance capacities of benthic systems without history of pollution
The Patagonian coast is characterized by the existence of pristine ecosystems which may be particularly sensitive to oil contamination. In this study, a simulated oil spill at acute and chronic input levels was carried out to assess the effects of contamination...
Klümper W, Qaim M (2014) A Meta-Analysis of the Impacts of Genetically Modified Crops. PLoS ONE 9(11): e111629.
Despite the rapid adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops by farmers in many countries, controversies about this technology continue. Uncertainty about GM crop impacts is one reason for ... Pequeño Vals Vienés by Silvia Pérez Cruz & Raül Fernandez...
