According to the study, recently published in
Science, the process of social inheritance among spotted hyenas not only determines how offspring relationships are formed and maintained, but also plays a very significant role in structuring the spotted hyena clan.

A planned survey of Red Sea corals by an international team of scientists will need to be postponed until next year after the much-heralded expedition ran aground just a day after setting sail from Eilat last week, one of the scientists on board said Sunday.
The Fleur de Passion, a former Nazi ship re-outfitted to carry the scientific expedition, is still stuck on a reef in the Straits of Tiran with untold damage to it, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of scientific equipment could be in danger, Prof. Maoz Fine, one of six scientists aboard the ship, told The Times of Israel.
