| Are fish getting high on cocaine? Posted: 23 Jul 2015 09:56 AM PDT Both prescription and illegal drugs such as morphine, cocaine and oxycodone have been found in surface waters in Canadian rivers. New research shows that wastewater discharged from wastewater treatment plants in the Grand River watershed of southern Ontario has the potential to contaminate sources of drinking water with these drugs.  |
| Female stink bugs 'select' color of their eggs Posted: 23 Jul 2015 09:52 AM PDT Stink bug mothers will lay darker or lighter eggs depending on how much light is reflecting off of a surface. The newly discovered adaptation is likely related to how some species of stink bugs are able to deposit their eggs on top of leaves, as the darker-colored eggs are better protected from UV radiation. Surprisingly, the eggs are not darkened by melanin, but by a previously unknown pigment.  |

The answer could give an insight into the way you think, say researchers.  |
