...mantis has nothing on its distant cousin, the Australian redback spider. The spiders too have turned copulation into a girl-eats-boy story. In this case, though, the male not only lets himself be devoured; he also performs acrobatics to make it happen. As soon as the male has put what is delicately known as his intromittent organ into his much larger mate, he turns a somersault--without slipping out--and dangles his juicy abdomen right in front of her mouth. Who could resist? Not the female, who usually begins chomping away...
...British couple. And in matters relating to the succession, the Queen herself must petition for advice and permission from the Prime Minister. Thus in 1967, when the Queen first allowed a member of the royal family to remarry (the Earl of Harewood, the Queen's first cousin), she did so upon the advice of Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Therefore her recent instruction to Charles, 47, and Diana, 32, to divorce was a veritable act of state.

Teachers' observation notes are available." Bryce also enlisted the help of Prince Michael, who added his own letter...
...Sean Carroll's lab on the University of Wisconsin's Madison campus has begun importing tiny velvet worms that inhabit rotting logs in the dry forests of Australia. Blowing bubbles of spittle and waving their fat legs in the air, they look, he marvels, virtually identical to their Cambrian cousin Aysheaia, whose evocative portrait appears in the pages of the Burgess Shale. Soon Carroll hopes to answer a pivotal question: Is the genetic tool kit needed to construct a velvet worm smaller than the one the arthropods...
