| Africanized bees continue to spread in California Posted: 11 Sep 2015 01:41 PM PDT Biologists have found that the Africanized honey bee -- an aggressive hybrid of the European honey bee -- is continuing to expand its range northward since its introduction into Southern California in 1994. |
| Competition and decision-making: Too many candidates spoil the stew Posted: 11 Sep 2015 11:09 AM PDT This election year has produced 17 Republican presidential candidates, which on its surface may appear to give the party a competitive advantage. Evolution, however, disagrees. A new study says the delicate balance of some, but not too much, competition optimally drives the evolution of decision-making strategies. |
| Stellar discovery: Massive binary star with unique properties Posted: 11 Sep 2015 11:07 AM PDT The first massive binary star, epsilon Lupi, in which both stars have magnetic fields has been discovered by a PhD candidate. A binary star is a star system consisting of two or more stars, orbiting around their common center of mass. |
| Globally unique double crater identified in Sweden Posted: 11 Sep 2015 06:53 AM PDT Researchers have found traces of two major meteorite impacts in Sweden, a twin strike that occurred around 460 million years ago. One is enormous, while the other is a tenth of the size of the first. The largest crater has a diameter of 7.5 kilometers. |
| Posted: 10 Sep 2015 03:51 PM PDT Male mice belt out love songs to females during courtship. What scientists didn't know until now is female mice sing back. Using a sophisticated array of microphones and a sound chamber he developed, a researcher discovered the world is full of tiny furry Beyonces. Studying all the Single Ladies' communication provides insight into brain mechanics and impairments, potentially including those related to autism. |
