Hi Lee. The physical coupling of a parasitic angler fish is permanent. And you're right, in the same way, it benefits the female the attachment is a reproductive evolutionary strategy allowing them to propagate their genes to the next generation. At the time that a male attaches to a female, its' digestive system has stopped and therefore fusion with the...

Yes. Geological forcing at these time scales including plate tectonics, ice ages and land uplift has been shown to affect tides locally. Computer modelling allows us to predict how tides have changed in different places as a result of these events and we can also use geological deposits called 'tidal bundles' and 'tidal rhythmites' which preserve tidal...

Mapping apps use my data to track the speed it takes me to get places and contribute to data used to work out traffic, average journey times and speeds on specific routes

I would first look at reviews on the subject by searching on google scholar and Web of Science. Then I would look at some of the key or interesting articles referenced. I might then look at online newspapers (preferably something impartial such as BBC science) for current news and discussion on the subject, and perhaps to find out the implications of any...

Interesting question! When a site has been mapped by researchers it will be published - that information is usually then available for all. UNESCO and the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) founded the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, which promotes the cooperation of countries in the field of ocean bathymetry, and involves 148 member...
