The genome of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been sequenced, bringing the number of sequenced eukaryotic genomes to six. Analysis of the sequence predicts only 4824 protein coding genes, the smallest number yet recorded for a free-living eukaryote.

Size matters, particularly in demonstrations. A demonstration is in support of a movement or a cause. The movement has a number of sympathisers. The perceived number of sympathisers is important. If it is seen to be large, then it becomes easier to recruit others to the cause, and to persuade inactive sympathisers to join the demonstrations. Also, if the movement numbers are large then it is mo...

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects up to 80% of women, often leading to significant personal, social and economic costs. When apparently maladaptive states are widespread, they sometimes confer a hidden advantage, or did so in our evolutionary past. We suggest that PMS had a selective advantage because it increased the chance that infertile pair bonds would dissolve, thus improving the reprodu...

We recognise that Stegosaurus exhibited exterior chirality and could, therefore, have assumed either of two distinct, mirror-image forms. Our preliminary investigations suggest that both existed. Stegosaurus’s exterior chirality raises new questions such as the validity of well-known exhibits whilst offering new insights into long-standing questions such as the function of the plates. We inform...
