Fossil arthropod went on the hunt for its prey Posted: 22 Aug 2014 05:40 AM PDT A new species of carnivorous crustacean has been identified, which roamed the seas 435 million years ago, grasping its prey with spiny limbs before devouring it.

Sunlight, not microbes, key to carbon dioxide in Arctic Posted: 21 Aug 2014 11:15 AM PDT The vast reservoir of carbon stored in Arctic permafrost is gradually being converted to carbon dioxide after entering the freshwater system in a process thought to be controlled largely by microbial activity. However, researchers say that sunlight and not bacteria is the key to triggering the production of CO2 from material released by Arctic soils.
