Reindeer in the Arctic Reduce Sleep Need During Rumination (www.cell.com)
Timing and quantity of sleep depend on a circadian (∼24-h) rhythm and a specific sleep requirement. Sleep curtailment results in a homeostatic rebound of more and deeper sleep, the latter reflected in increased electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity (SWA) during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Circadian rhythms...

'Shocking' Discovery: Electricity from Electric Eels May Transfer Genetic Material to Nearby Animals (www.nagoya-u.ac.jp)
The electric eel is the biggest power-making creature on Earth. It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine. In a recent study, a research group from Nagoya University in Japan found electric eels can release enough electricity to genetically modify small fish larvae. They published their findings in PeerJ -...
