rhamphotheca: Castaway Lizards Put Evolution to the Test   by Brian Vastag   When Hurricane Frances swept through the Caribbean in 2004, it wiped out populations of little anole lizards living on seven tiny islands in the Bahamas. Instead of mourning the loss, Harvard University biologist Jonathan Losos spied an opportunity: He could, for the first time, test a controversial 70-year-old idea in evolutionary biology.   What might happen, Losos wondered, if he dropped pairs of anole lizards, castaway-like, onto each island?  Would they simply go extinct?  Or could the reptilian couples launch — or found — new colonies that would diverge in appearance, taking the first steps on the long road toward becoming different species?   The lizards, it turned out, thrived. After two years, one island sheltered 40 lizards descended from the first couple.  More intriguingly, within just a few generations, the back legs of the lizards on all seven islands began to shrink.  Shorter legs provide more agility for the lizards as they navigate the shrunken shrubbery on the tiny islands. And agile lizards can catch more insects and more easily dodge hungry birds… (read more: Washington Post)     (photo: Lanare) ********** Read the paper here:  http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2012/02/01/science.1209566.abstract?sid=36a2d0a1-42b3-4c51-a2f4-16a689ef2209

Vegetable & Mung Bean Noodle Salad with CreamyTeriyaki DressingDressing: 4 oz firm silken tofu 1/3 cup spicy miso teriyaki sauce 1 Tbs sambal oelek (ground fresh chili paste) 2 Tbs fresh ginger, grated 2 Tbs lemon juice 1Tbs sesame oil Combine dressing ingredients in food processor and blend until creamy. If you prefer more heat, add additional sambal oelek to taste. Bear in mind that the dressing will taste milder once combined with the vegetables and noodles. For a saltier dressing, add a dash of soy sauce.Salad: 1 (6 oz) package saifun (mung bean noodles) 6 cups thinly sliced vegetables (I used carrots, broccoli, celery, and bell peppers. Sugar snap peas, mushrooms, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and more would also be tasty.) 2 Tbs sesame oil 2 Tbs sesame seeds, toasted 3 scallions, chopped Stir fry vegetables (except scallions) in sesame oil, over medium-high heat, until crisp-tender. Allow to cool. Meanwhile, cook saifunaccording to package directions (boil, don’t fry). Drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Combine saifun, vegetables, and dressing in large bowl, stirring gently to combine. Serve topped with sesame seeds and scallions. Makes 4 dinner servings.
