TechAndComputer (June 27, 2011) Mate choice, competition, and the variety of resources available are the key factors influencing how a species evolves into separate species, according to a new mathematical model that integrates all three factors to reveal the dynamics at play in a process called sympatric speciation.

TechAndComputer (June 24, 2011) A study of the reaction by the United States stock market to international financial crises shows that small companies are often hit hardest, and the impact is above and beyond what would be expected given their exposure to global market factors.
This unexpected result suggests the significant impact that investors' actions can have during emerging market crises. During these crises, investors flee to the...
