Large-Scale Forces Shape Local Ocean
Life, Global Study Shows
- In a groundbreaking, globetrotting study of sea life in shallow
waters, a research team led by a Brown University marine ecologist
has found that the richness of species diversity in a small patch
of ocean is powerfully shaped by far-away forces.
Jon Witman, associate professor
of biology at Brown, said this finding was a surprise. At the
start of the project, Witman expected to find that forces specific
to a small area of ocean -- predation, species competition and
disturbances such as hurricanes or landslides -- would play a
central role in limiting the number of species found there. But
Witman and his team found that species diversity in local areas,
no bigger than a half-mile square, was directly proportional
to species diversity in that region, which can span thousands
of square miles. Researchers came to this conclusion after examining
1,500 photographic samples taken of invertebrates clinging to
rock walls in every corner of the world. - More...

 Mike
Reagan: The
Lady of the House Counts Too - Who do you want sharing the
White House with the president? Does it matter who becomes first
lady, or must all the focus be on the man of the house?
It may seem to be a frivolous
pursuit to let the question of who is best suited to be the president's
first ladies influence our votes, but the fact of the matter
is that the kind of woman who serves as the lady of the (White)
House has an impact far beyond merely being the president's wife.
