New and Exciting on PLoS-ONE

A gazzillion new papers got published on PLoS-ONE today. Some of the titles that caught my attention and I intend to read tonight are:

The Role of the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta in Regulating Sleep Patterns in Rats

Climate and Dispersal: Black-Winged Stilts Disperse Further in Dry Springs

The Adaptive Significance of Sensory Bias in a Foraging Context: Floral Colour Preferences in the Bumblebee Bombus terrestris

Assortative Mating between European Corn Borer Pheromone Races: Beyond Assortative Meeting

As always, do the Science 2.0 thing and post your (intelligent) questions and comments on the paper itself, either in the Discussions or the Annotations.
