					Mussel researchers have long been stymied in their efforts to study the  reproductive habits of mussels, the often-overlooked mollusks that live  in rivers and filter the water by removing contaminants and balancing  bacteria levels. Identification of the fish species mussels use as hosts  can be difficult, but University of Georgia researchers have done just  that with the federally threatened purple bankclimber mussel.

				<title>UGA ecologist receives $1.39 million to study longleaf pine ecosystem recovery</title>
				<link>http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/uga&#45;ecologist&#45;receives&#45;139&#45;million&#45;study&#45;longleaf&#45;pine&#45;ecosystem&#45;recovery</link>
				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					The longleaf pine forests that once dominated the Southeastern coastal  plain are now considered one of the most endangered ecosystems in North  America. Once covering 90 million acres from Virginia to Texas, longleaf  now is found in only about 3 percent of its historic range. Many of  those remaining acres are on U.S. military installations, where land  managers are tasked with keeping the forests healthy while meeting their  primary objective of supporting military readiness.
