More than One: Long-Reigning Microbe Controlling Ocean Nitrogen Shares the Throne
Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:00:00 -0600
Marine scientists long believed that a microbe called Trichodesmium, a member of a group called the cyanobacteria, reigned over the ocean's nitrogen budget.
New research results reported on-line today in a paper in Science Express show that Trichodesmium may have to share its nitrogen-fixing throne: two others of its kind, small spherical species of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria called UCYN-A and Crocosphaera watsonii, are also abundant in ...

Forest Tree Species Diversity Depends on Individual Variation
Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:03:00 -0600
It's a paradox that's puzzled scientists for a half-century.
Models clearly show that the coexistence of competing species depends on those species responding differently to the availability of resources. Then why do studies comparing competing tree species draw a blank?
Competitors like black gums and red maples have coexisted for millennia in the shaded understories of eastern U.S. forests, yet species-level data offer scant proof that they respond differently to ...
