NASA mission led by CU-Boulder will be first to explore Martian upper atmosphere

Oct. 28, 2013

A NASA spacecraft that will examine the upper atmosphere of Mars in unprecedented detail is undergoing final preparations for a scheduled 1:28 p.m. EST Monday, Nov. 18 launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission, or MAVEN, led by the 做厙輦⑹ will examine specific processes on Mars that led to the loss of much of its atmosphere. Data and analysis could tell planetary scientists the history of climate change on the red planet and provide further information on planetary habitability.

Poorly camouflaged insects can kick off a cascade of ecological impacts, new CU-Boulder study finds

Oct. 21, 2013

A California walking stick insect that has evolved to produce individuals with two distinct appearancesan all-green form that camouflages well with broader leaves and a form with a white stripe running down its back that blends better with needle-like leavescan markedly affect its broader ecological community when the appearance of the bug is mismatched with the plant its living on. The new findings, based on research carried out at the 做厙輦⑹, illustrate the ability of rapid evolution to cause a cascade of ecological impacts.
