... and fishermen to do a double take when they first spy them. Known as the "Spotted Jellyfish, " these creatures don't threaten swimmers because their sting is mild compared to native jellyfish like the Sea Nettle.

...na. Using both data from a recently declassified spy satellite and NASA's Landsat satellites as well as information about the human settlements in the preserve, the research team paints a vivid picture of why years of protected status have meant less panda-friendly living in the reserve. Only abo...Scientists use seals as 'underwater eyes'
...ecies By employing one underwater species to spy on two others through novel use of technology, Antarctic researchers have gained new insights into two little-known fish species. The team expanded their knowledge base by equipping Weddell seals to follow the fish and record their behavior. The...Dispatches and images available: Human impact on giant panda habitat
...nce. Using both data from a recently declassified spy satellite and NASA's Landsat satellites as well as information about the human settlements in the Wolong Reserve, the study showed that panda habitat inside the reserve was destroyed more quickly after the reserve was established. NASA and the Nation...Science picksleads, feeds and story seeds (November 2002)
...behind the cloak of secrecy, 50,000 more frames of spy satellite imagery dating back to the 1960s will soon be available to the public. Bringing these photos in from the "cold" is an ongoing initiative between the USGS, the National Archives and Records Administration and the National Intelligence Mappi...Espionage may have driven the evolution of bee language according to UCSD-led study in Brazil
...Nieh says his team's finding that they are able to spy on each other's olfactory markings sheds light on the long-standing mystery of why some other stingless bees and honeybees evolved one of the most sophisticated forms of animal language, strategies that would allow them to inform their kin about dist...
