Insects are fragile, soft-bodied animals whose remains are difficult to preserve. Wings are often fossilized, but insect bodies, if present, are usually bits and pieces of the original prehistoric animal, making it difficult for scientists to study them. One way paleontologists learn about prehistoric insects is by trace fossils, which are almost exclusively found as traces on fossil plants. "We have a great fossil plant record," said Richard J. Knecht, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard.

BACOLOD CITY — Sugar industry leaders welcomed the appointment of an acting administrator and chief executive officer of the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA). Enrique Rojas, president of the National Federation of Sugarcane Planters, lauded the appointment of Pablo Luis Azcona, saying he was very happy that another Negrense was chosen to occupy the top SRA post. 'While its a common knowledge in the industry that a certain group pushed for Paul's appointment, we are confident that his inherent concern for his fellow sugarcane farmers will take precedence over his loyalty to any person or lobby group,' Rojas said in an interview on Friday, April 28.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The anguish was evident all over coach Marcus Freeman's face Saturday night. Notre Dame needed one stop to beat No. 6 Ohio State for the first time since 1936, and yet it couldn't finish the job. Instead, a series of miscues over the final, frantic minutes allowed the Buckeyes to keep their perfect season and playoff hopes intact with an improbable 17-14 victory that will force the Fighting Irish to search for answers this week. 'As I just told the team, it's disappointing,' Freeman said before seeing his team fall two spots to No.

Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai are one step closer to helping individuals catch a sudden cardiac arrest before it happens, thanks to a study published today in the peer-reviewed journal Lancet Digital Health . The study, led by sudden cardiac arrest expert Sumeet Chugh, MD , found that 50% of individuals who experienced a sudden cardiac arrest also experienced a telling symptom 24 hours before their loss of heart function.
