Large and in Charge: Study Shows Size Matters in Prehistoric Seas
Description: A research group has helped to explain why some prehistoric organisms evolved into larger animals. Working to further the research into the origins of life on earth and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe, a multinational group used a technique known as canopy flow modeling to reconstruct ocean currents operating in the deep seas some 580 million years ago. The three-dimensional modeling helped to illustrate how dense communities of bacteria and multicellular organisms competed for nutrients in Pre-Cambrian seas. [Source: ScienceDaily]
