#Ancient Arctic Algae Record Climate Change in'Tree Rings'Bright pink algae that light up the Arctic seafloor like Las vegas neon are also guides to hundreds of years of climate history
From the medieval chill called the Little Ice age to the onset of global warming in the 1800s the coralline algae show how Arctic sea ice has responded to climate swings for the past 650 years.
Undersea'tree rings'The species are called coralline algae because they deposit coral-like crusts of the mineral calcite on underwater rocks coating the rocks with colorful pink splotches.
However algae are plants and coral are animals.)Because the algae go dormant in the winter
when sea ice blocks incoming sunlight the calcite layers develop visible bands that are similar to tree rings Halfar said.
Starting in 1850 the onset of the Industrial revolution the algae's growth rings doubled in thickness in sync with the decline in the extent of Arctic sea ice.
The algae records also reveal frequent year-to-year variations in the amount of sea ice as satellites have seen in the past decade
Deep Sea Algae Contain Climate Change Clues Collecting more algae crusts could help fill a gap between climate records from sediment and ice cores
The oldest algae crusts contained 646 years of layers confirmed by carbon dating the researchers said.
The algae called Clathromorphum compactum owes its long lifespan to its thick calcite crust and a different protective layer called eitihallium that keeps grazing animals from chomping too much of the algal surface Halfar said.
While 646 years won't put the algae near the record for the world's oldest plantâ
and mollusks collected offshore of Iceland can live for more than 500 years The algae's lifespan is unlimited theoretically Halfar said.
and crustaceans and so forth the perfect omnivore Luo said. The wrinkled teeth and flexible ankles that R. eurasiaticus possessed suggest adaptations that arose very early in the evolutionof multituberculates helped pave the way for later members of the order (a scientific classification of organisms that includes families of genuses).

#At least 26 Elephants Killed by Poachers in Central africa At least 26 elephants were killed in Central africa after a group of armed poachers raided a protected sanctuary on Monday (May 6) according to wildlife officials.
Seventeen poachers armed with Kalashnikov rifles entered Dzanga-Ndoki National park in the Central african republic earlier this week representatives from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a statement.
The poachers made their way to the Dzanga Bai an open area where anywhere from 50 to 200 elephants gather daily to drink nutrients and mineral salts in the sands.
Poachers continue to kill elephants and strip them of their ivory tusks to sell on global markets
Because the poachers raided the sanctuary however no elephants have been seen at the Bai WWF officials said.
The WWF fears poachers in the region will take advantage of the Central african republic's political turmoil for their gains.
