Miami Beach puts the art in offshore artificial reef The artificial reef off Miami Beach will be at the same time an art installation, a restoration of the island's coral habitat and an underwater tourist attraction.

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.

Good article.

Informal hominins, from Denisovan to superarchaic In a new research article, I review the ways that paleoanthropologists name ancient groups outside the Linnaean system.
