| 'Ice age blob' of warm ocean water discovered south of Greenland Posted: 19 Feb 2016 10:48 AM PST Greenland experienced several abrupt and brutal climate changes during the last ice age. But even during the coldest periods a blob of warm surface water existed nearby. |
| Pluto’s ‘hulk-like’ moon Charon: A possible ancient ocean? Posted: 19 Feb 2016 06:56 AM PST Pluto's largest moon may have gotten too big for its own skin. Images from NASA's New Horizons mission suggest that Pluto's moon Charon once had a subsurface ocean that has long since frozen and expanded, pushing outward and causing the moon's surface to stretch and fracture on a massive scale. |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2016 06:24 AM PST A colony of feral rhesus macaques calls the banks of the Silver River in Silver Springs State Park in central Florida its home. The monkeys are part of a larger feral population living throughout the Cross Florida Greenway. Many locals enjoy having the monkeys in the park, but wildlife officials are concerned about overpopulation caused by human feeding, the nonnative animals' ecological impact and the potential for interspecies disease transmission. |
| The 'ugliest fossil reptiles' who roamed China Posted: 19 Feb 2016 06:22 AM PST Long before the dinosaurs, hefty herbivores called pareiasaurs ruled Earth. Now, for the first time, a detailed investigation of all Chinese specimens of these creatures -- often described as the 'ugliest fossil reptiles' -- has been published by a palaeontologist. |
| Dangerous fishing may be endangered Posted: 18 Feb 2016 11:49 AM PST Catch shares, a form of 'rights-based' fisheries management adopted for several fisheries in the Pacific Northwest, may put an end to the kind of daring exploits chronicled in the Deadliest Catch. |
| It's easy to get people to do bad things, and this might be why Posted: 18 Feb 2016 10:22 AM PST People will apparently inflict pain on another person simply because someone in a position of authority told them to, research shows. Now, investigators have taken those classic experiments one step further, providing new evidence that might help to explain why people are so easily coerced. |
| A deeper take on our sexual nature Posted: 17 Feb 2016 11:06 AM PST The organs in our body may have a sexual identity of their own, new research suggests. |
