By Archie Teuthis, on  February 24th, 2011  4 comments  Ecology, Environmental Sciences, Organisms  Jarrett Byrnes In my last post, I showed that ocean food webs are being re-written by human driven extinctions and invasions. In particular, most species that have been driven extinct by man are predators. So what? So there are fewer species of predators. Does this matter? Won’t, say, all of the other predators just become more abundant, . . . → Read More: DSN Scientist In Residence Jarrett Byrnes On Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function

My thoughts exactly. Let’s break it down. First: X-rays. High-energy waves that help doctors see our bones. Check. Second: fluorescence. Fluorescence is . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on Diatoms and X-ray Whosamagidgets

Carbon, diatom, frustules, phytoplankton, Scientist In Residence Dear Diatoms, You are pretty, and I like you. Haeckel liked you too, so did Gaudi. Obviously, they appreciated the little things in life. While you still make appearances now and again in modern life, let’s face it: being microscopic and aquatic, recognition is an up-current battle, and you can’t swim. Perhaps obscurity suits you? . . . → Read More: Scientist In Residence: Danny Richter on the To Humble Diatom
