Here's our long-going thread on CCD: >> http://hypography.com/forums/news-br...appearing.html

I watched a piece on the bats dying in New York State last night or two, and as they are insect eaters, the plants are down the chain. Arguably, plants are near the bottom of all food chains.

The dead bats found in New York have a white fungus growing on their faces, but the cause of the dying is still unknown. No doubt the digestive tracts receive due attention.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
