Shown here is a map of the white matter connections in the human brain. The human ability to create and use technology surpasses that of any other species. How did these advanced technological skills evolve, and what can this evolutionary perspective tell us about the basis of modern human technological learning? A team of investigators from Georgia State University and Emory University will use a multidisciplinary approach to explore these questions, integrating expertise in neuroscience, informatics, anthropology, biomedical engineering and educational psychology.

Coastal ecosystems worldwide are feeling the heat of climate change. In the Southeastern U.S., salt marshes have endured massive grass die-offs as a result of intense drought, which can affect everything from fisheries to water quality. Now, new research shows that a mutualistic relationship -- where two organisms benefit from each other's activities -- between ribbed mussels and salt marsh grasses may play a critical role in helping salt marshes bounce back from extreme climate events such as drought. The results found that mussels piled up in mounds around salt grass stems helped to protect the grasses by improving water storage around their roots and reducing soil salinity. With the mussels' help, marshes can recover from drought in less than a decade. Without their help, it can take more than a century.

Bird in Queensland's Innisfail had come to associate people with being fed, says environment department, and decision to relocate it was taken ‘reluctantly'
Wildlife officers have relocated a young cassowary, known by locals as Ruthie, after it threatened an elderly man and tried to enter his Innisfail home.
It is the second time this month a cassowary has been relocated in north Queensland due to aggressive behaviour.
