Recently reported research demonstrates how astonishingly helpful scales are to fish—such as the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), whose scales blend armor-like protection with flexibility needed for underwater mobility.^1,2

The carp scales research is published in the journal Matter,¹ and has been briefed in Science Daily.²

Recent research surprises those who study coral reefs, especially those who assume that they grow slowly.^1,2

To the surprise of old-earth evolutionists, these findings reveal that reef ages do not conflict with relatively young biblical chronology timeframes.

Recently, after audio-recording underwater in Greenland’s fjords, two geoscientists published research on vocalizations made by narwhals.

Have Trinidadian guppies learned evasive maneuvers from Spanish bullfighters? Recent research published in the journal Current Biology¹ reports how gutsy guppies confront a regular predator, the voracious pike cichlids, like a matador. They attract the attacker to a location that can be dodged from. Then, at the last instant, the guppy pivots to safety.^1-3

For a generation of millions (maybe billions) of North American jumping bugs called cicadas—often mislabeled in America as locusts—life changes dramatically after 17 years, yet for others the special timeframe is 13 years.^1,2

And for many such periodical cicadas, reports Kirsten Geddes, it’s about that time.
