  3. Invasive frogs carry amphibian-killing fungus

    African clawed frogs were first brought to California decades ago to help doctors figure out whether their patients were pregnant. After new technology made those pregnancy tests obsolete, the creatures were let loose, and thrived for decades in the state's drainage ditches and ponds.

  6. Harlequin ladybird can be a pest in disguise

    The harlequin ladybird was once a stalwart ally of greenhouse growers around the world. Native to Japan, Korea and other parts of eastern Asia, the bright red ladybugs were prized for their aphid-eating abilities — until they caused serious declines in other ladybug populations.

  9. Do humans need mystery 'junk' DNA? This carnivorous plant doesn't

    How&rsquo;s this for spring cleaning? Scientists have discovered that a carnivorous plant deletes so much of its own junk DNA that it has hardly any left. The finding, published online in Nature, hints that such noncoding DNA may not be as important as some scientists believe.

    Marine biologist Dan Madigan stood on a dock in San Diego and considered some freshly caught Pacific bluefin tuna. The fish had managed to swim 5,000 miles from their spawning grounds near Japan to California's shores, only to end up the catch of local fishermen.

  12. Video: See a cell reach out and touch its neighbor

    Using specialized imaging techniques and customized microscopes to watch single embryonic chick cells in real time, scientists at Stanford University and UC San Francisco found that the developing cells reach out to one another to communicate -- extending long, fingerlike filaments to send signals to neighboring cells.
