Ten seconds before it charges, a marlin "turns on" its stripes. Then, when the attack is done, the marlin dials the contrast back down. Layers of colorful cells in their skin rapidly change shape to create the strong pattern.

Play Video: What makes fighting fish so feisty?

New studies combining genetics and neuroscience offer clues Centuries of selective breeding of Siamese fighting (betta) fish (Betta splendens) have produced the elaborate colors and patterns that have made them popular pets. But their early domestication was focused on a different signature trait: aggression. In this video, Andrés Bendesky and his team at Columbia University describe how they’ve combined genetics and neuroscience to understand what puts the fight in these fish. The work could help the team and other scientists understand how genes, neurons, and aggression are linked in a variety of animals, including humans.

A sit-and-wait flirter, a male riflebird (left in the first clip) puts on a high-energy — and noisy — show for a female visiting his perch. The most flexible wrist joints yet measured in a bird let him curve his dark wings like a flaring cape. Opening and closing his beak, as seen in the first slow motion clip, adds flashes of gold from the mouth and throat lining. Between flashes, he closes his beak to scrape it over the spread feathers for the show’s thwackity-thwack soundtrack, as seen in the second slow motion clip. Scientists previously thought the birds somehow clapped their wings together to make the sounds. Video: Thomas MacGillavry and Joris De Raedt

The filamentous bacterium Corynebacterium matruchotii, found in human dental plaque, has a superpower. It can divide into as many as 14 daughter cells at once, allowing it to rapidly expand its territory. In this video, a single cell divides into many, which also divide into many, and so on until the colony rapidly fills the field of view.

This animation shows how the ambipolar electric field works. The most abundant gas in the lower atmosphere, the part we live in, is nitrogen (N2, shown around seven seconds). Pan up to the ionosphere (14 seconds), though, and you’ll find more atomic oxygen. Photons from the sun can collide with oxygen and knock one of their electrons loose, leaving a positively charged oxygen ion behind. The pull between those ions and their lost electrons is the ambipolar electric field, which ties them together.

Play Video: What is agrivoltaics? | Science News

With the recent boom in clean energy development, more and more farmers are interested in leasing their fields to solar power utilities, often forcing them to abandon traditional crop production or grazing in the process. Now researchers in the growing field of agrivoltaics hope to provide scientific insights and guidance to make it possible to produce food and power at the same time. While sheep grazing on solar farms has already demonstrated feasibility and ecological benefits, these researchers are discovering that co-locating crops and solar panels may prove to be a tough row to hoe.
