Fossilized arachnids made silk but not webs

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

Now here's a randomly cool one. Modern spiders use silk for more than just those webs that we love to photograph with dew all over them. They also wrap prey, wrap eggs, line their burrows and cast the strands upward to catch the wind and travel.

Now, it's not clear exactly what these ancient proto-spiders used their silks for, but we can tell that they lack spinnerets, so they would not have had the fine control of today's spiders. Also unlike today's spiders, they had small, one-millimeter tails

Building the Tree of Life, Genome by Genome

Phylogenetic studies have gone 'omic. Whereas researchers used to be satisfied comparing one gene, or a few, to sort out the branching of the tree of life, the push now among those building phylogenies is to consider whole genomes--at the very least, dozens of genes and thousands of DNA bases--in establishing kinships among flora and fauna. In this way, evolutionary biology is joining the bandwagon of data-intensive studies pioneered by genomics

Giant frog found in Madagascar

sumsung submitted, created time 10 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)

A giant frog that hopped around Madagascar 65–70 million years ago has been discovered. Fossil fragments show that the frog, called Beelzebufo ampinga, could have measured 20 centimeters across its squat head, and probably more than 40 centimeters from snout to tail. The researchers nicknamed the monstrous beast "the frog from hell"; the official name comes from one of the many names for the devil (Beelzebub) and the Latin for "toad" (bufo).

Norwegian and Swiss biologists have made a startling discovery about the relationship between organisms that most people have never heard of. The Tree of Life must be re-drawn, textbooks need to be changed, and the discovery may also have significant impact on the development of medicines.
