Bird Decline Patterns of lossBianca LopezWetlands, such as the bald cypress forest at Caddo Lake, Texas, pictured here, are experiencing serious declines in bird populations. PHOTO: WANDERLUSTER/ISTOCK PHOTOWe know that birds are declining globally, but more fine-scale information on population trends is needed to guide conservation efforts. Johnston et al.

Lichens Uncovering elusive biologyCaroline AshGenomic assays reveal that 168 species contribute to the sunburst lichen (Xanthoria parietina), explaining in part why these organisms have been so difficult to study. PHOTO: AP HANNIBAL VIA SHUTTERSTOCKAssociations between algal cells and fungal cells are found on all but the most polluted undisturbed surfaces. Classically, lichens were considered to be relations between two or three species, but Tagirdzhanova et al.

Topological Optics Viewing topology in higher dimensionsIan S. OsborneArtistic depiction of a four-dimensional regular lattice that forms a quasicrystalline pattern with fivefold symmetry when projected in two dimensions. The symmetry and topology of physical systems are closely related to the symmetries governing the topological properties. Quasicrystals are ordered systems but have no translation or rotational symmetries.

Deep-Sea Life A bizarre sea slug in the deepDi JiangDeep-sea biodiversity and the ecological adaptations of life are less explored in the bathypelagic zone than in other oceanic zones. Robison and Haddock describe Bathydevius caudactylus, a new nudibranch (sea slug) species that is found at depths of 1013 to 4009 meters in the eastern North Pacific Ocean.

Agrochemical Effects A damaging brewSacha VignieriChemicals applied to crops can exert harmful effects at concentrations far below lethal levels. Modern insect populations are exposed to a soup of agrochemicals composed of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, among others. Although many of these compounds have been tested singly, and for lethality, they neither occur in nature alone nor only affect animals through mortality. Gandara et al.

Introduction to Special IssueCaroline Ash, Bianca Lopez, [...] , Sacha Vignieri, and Brad Wible+1 authors fewerAuthors Info & AffiliationsBrown rats (Rattus norvegicus) live essentially everywhere that humans reside. Surprisingly little is known about their original habitat or ecology and evolution in the wild. PHOTO: CHARLIE HAMILTON JAMESThanks to humans, house mice and brown and black rats are now some of the few species on the planet that can be found almost everywhere.

Virology Cold diversity hotspotsCaroline AshAntarctic giant viruses such as those found in the waters off Greenwich Island are now at risk due to climate change. PHOTO: TRAVEL FOTOWORLD/GETTYIMAGESGiant viruses are important components of marine food webs. Their hosts span a range of eukaryotic organisms, and they associate with the collapse of algal blooms. Using genome-resolved metagenomics, Buscaglia et al.

Science Education Searching for the right labMelissa McCartneySelecting a research lab is the cornerstone for many graduate school experiences; however, little is known about how graduate students find their research group. Verostek et al. systematically characterized the process by which 20 first- and second-year physics doctoral students searched for a research group.
