Iguanas walked to Tonga, says new BYU-coauthored study

January 14, 2010
How iguanas got to Fiji and Tonga - when their nearest kin live more than 5,000 miles away - has long puzzled scientists. A new study questions the notion that they made that long journey by raft. Instead, BYU biology professor Jack Sites and his coauthor say, they simply walked there when the islands were part of a larger land mass.

BYU students making microscopic worms even more deadly

January 13, 2010
Microscopic nematode worms can be a potent organic insecticide. But when the worms are mass-bred for agricultural purposes, they tend to, as Byron Adams says, “wimp out,” and are not as deadly as their cousins that grow in the wild. The BYU biology professor and his students identified genetic changes in lab-raised nematode worms that make the organic insecticide less deadly to bugs.
