#Harnessing The Power Of Peacocks To Make Colorful Images (ISNS)--The gloriously colored iridescent feathers of the male peacock aren't
As a peacock moves around its tail colors appear to change. That's because its iridescent feathers reflect different colors or wavelengths of light at different angles.
 But while peacocks use feathers Guo's team uses metals which interact with light in more complicated ways.
To simulate the peacock effect the Michigan researchers combined the techniques. They etched nanoscale grooves on a piece of glass with the same technology used to etch computer chips.
Several days into the expedition they head there for dinner and order a round of local Red Rooster beers.

#Research documents lesser prairie chickenstexas Tech University scientists have been at the forefront of research on the lesser prairie chicken (LPC) a prairie grouse native to the West Texas landscape for more than three decades.
Additional research out of Oklahoma and Kansas has indicated lesser prairie chickens have an aversion to tall vertical structures such as wind turbines
and the number of lesser prairie chickens has decreased about 90 percent in the past 100 years. The bird is now found only in restricted areas of five states in the southern Great plains:
Hence the prairie chickens tend to stay away from areas where there are tall structures. Blake Grisham a post doctoral research associate working with Boal said in terms of wind farms companies already have been trying to do the right thing by staying away from known habitats.
Those spots do occur where they overlap with the distribution of the lesser prairie chickens; we've been fortunate that the wind energy companies have identified these places as potential problems
Boal said prairie chickens for example are not very likely to use cotton fields to nest in or for lekking (places where males aggregate to try to attract females to mate with).
Prairie chickens have evolved in this landscape Boal said. They have a breeding strategy that is suited to this landscape a boom
If the prairie chicken has a bad year they may have to expand their home range and forage over a greater area.
and the relative risk that a species is facing we need to look at those risks across its distribution not just have a one-size-fits-all for the prairie chicken's entire distribution.
The state of the lesser prairie chicken is an indicator of prairie health he said. A general decline shows that the ecosystem as a whole faces uncertainty
What people need to understand is that it's not just prairie chickens. It's really the inter-connectedness of these biotic communities Boal said.
When we have indicators like a prairie chicken and there's something going wrong that's an indication of that biotic community as a whole.
Prairie chickens are an important component of that land and their future depends on the quality of stewardship they receive.
This study has implications for a range of other species including black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and woodlark (Lullula arborea.
and wheat along with such livestock products as ruminant (animals like cattle goats and sheep that subsist on plant matter) pork and poultry.
In this part of the continent a considerable proportion of livestock production takes place in line with the intensive model as in the case of pig poultry and a large proportion of cattle livestock.
