Mutualism alters fish behavior

Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 1 day (www.nature.com)

A type of fish called the cleaner wrasse seems to haev a calming effect on local predators. The wrasse eat parasites off the scales of larger fish and even provide what Nature writers have called "a calming massage" with their fins. In return, the client fish keep returning to the wrasses' territory to provide them with more food.

However, what researchers have recently noticed is that client fish stop hunting each other while in wrasse territory--even while they are waiting to be served.

How to Keep a Wasp from Cheating

Vincent submitted, created time 8 months 2 weeks (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)

It would be easy for fig wasps to cheat. These tiny insects pollinate figs in exchange for a share of the tree's seeds--and theoretically, the wasps could lay claim to more seeds than they deserve. But they don't, and now biologists know why. Parasitic wasps, usually thought of as the bad guys, keep the pollinators honest.

Mmmm � Bacteria

When you eat a cup of yogurt, billions of bacteria make their way to your gut. Some researchers believe that these "probiotics" can be good for you, alleviating everything from bowel disease to allergies. Now, a team of researchers has shown that, at least in mice, supplementing food with a helping of "good" bacteria can cause profound metabolic changes, including some that may be linked to weight loss.

This idea foretells an exciting and potentially revolutionary future in which microbial interventions can correct metabolic abnormalities.

jane2007 submitted, created time 11 months 4 weeks (www.sciam.com)

It is interesting and startling that the truth is we are practically walking petri dishes, rife with bacterial colonies from our skin to the deepest recesses of our guts.All the bacteria living inside you would fill a half-gallon jug; there are 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells.
One thing is for sure: our lives and even our identities are more closely linked to the microbial world than we may think. Bacteria do a lot to keep us healthy.
