Mere whiff of penguin poo pushes krill to take frantic evasive action Scientists have shown for the first time that Antarctic krill show a stereotypical reaction in the presence of guano from Adélie penguins: they swim faster and

Antarctic krill can sense Adélie penguin poo—and they don’t like it. Research shows krill swim faster and turn more when exposed to penguin guano.

Institutional journal lists place an unfair burden on publishers Responding to the decision of the Finnish publication forum, Julkaisufoorumi, to downgrade so-called ‘grey area’ journals, Frederick Fenter, argues that, by focusing on the publishers’ operating mo…

Where should researchers publish? Institutional lists, while well-intended, must be transparent and objective. Frontiers' chief executive editor responds to the JUFO decision, stressing the need for scientific rigour in scholarly journal assessment:

The joint team from Tribhuvan University, Missouri Botanical Garden, and Manang, Nepal survey a subalpine-alpine plot above Manang for monitoring biodiversity response to climate change. Behind the three people holding measuring tape on a grassy alpine summit the Marsyangdi River valley is visible.
