Talk about maternal sacrifice, in the rather freakish twist of nature; baby spiders in some species completely devour their moms. Now researchers have discussed that the practice can get even stranger. Scientist from Israel’s university want to know spider if spider participate in cooperative group mothering, as some mammal and birds do. Investigate of this specie of spider from south Africa known for maternal care and for communal living. The result appeared in the journal behavioral ecology and Sociobiology.

In some experimental nests, the research left groups of female intact, brought or(but) moved excess（egg sacks）
from all the(but) one of the mother to be. In control groups there is only one female and her eggs. At the end of study, they check on the house (health) of spider babies. In these groups were mutable(mutiple) moms, more egg successfully hatched, and the brood is healthier overall. As for the moms, they were almost all sucked dry, living only in their crispy skeletons(exoskeletons). So now these two to(at least) one species of spiders known to participate in communal mothering. And under the rest (right) circumstances, even the surrogate mums sacrificing everything for its offspring.

怎么理解of its own 呢？我理解的是前文说了不能在室内吸烟，而研究者就想知道二手烟本身就是有害的，与室内室外无关。

If you are not a fan of cigarette, you probably hold your breath if(as) you hurry pass a smoker that hang off(hang out in front of) the office building, store and restaurant.
Smoker is banished outside because a growing number of citizens concern the possible health effect of second-hand smoke. Having banned smoking in eateries, work place or other establishments, turns out to hold your breath may not be such a bad idea, because scientists in University of Georgia have found side walk smokers can generate more pollution than passing cars.

Athens, Georgia, is a major college town and on the weekend students are preach(packed) shoulder to shoulder outside the bars and restaurants, and since smoking is banned inside such locations, one of those(plenty of) kids are puffing up a storm that makes the Gorge research wonder whether outdoor second hand smoke present the heath hazard of its own, so they
measured the carbon dioxide level outside a handful of bars and restaurants, because (guest)this gas is also found car exhaust. The researcher counted the number of cars and the number of smokers, and they found the pollution was coming from people not the tail pipes. So next time you draw pass a bunch of banished, take a deep breath and feel free to run.

Evolution continues today and sometimes we can watch it happening. Researchers in November 6th additional(edition of) journal science said they called and act(caught in the act) a population of butterfly in Ecuador, potentially diverging into two distinct species.

Heliconius butterflies spread across the central and South America. What distinguishes differing Heliconius species is colors variation. For instance, in Costa Rica the two most closely related species are white or yellow, which prefer to mate with those of their own color.

In Ecuador, there are also yellow and white Heliconius butterflies live close to one another and mate freely. But that situation might be changing; scientist study butterflies in captivity, the two types differ in just one gene responsible for color, but yellow male prefers yellow female, while white males go for either colors of female.

The difference in mate preference could eventually lead two distinct species as in Costa Rica with yellow and white butterflies that no longer inter reed(breed). The researchers will continue to study the role of genes in both color and mate choice, which quick(could) send the population diverging forever into new species.

Heliconius[H] butterflies spread[back] across central and south America. What distinguishes differing[in how] Heliconius[H] species is color variation. For instance in Costa Rica[coast rica] the two most closely related species are white or yellow, which prefer to mate[marry] with those of their own color.

In Ecuador[alcodol] there are also white or yellow Heliconius  butterflies that live close to one another and have mated[made it] freely. But that situation might be changing. Scientists studied the butterflies in captivity, the two types differ in just one gene responsible for color, but yellow males prefer yellow females, while white males go for either color female,

the difference in mate[made] preference could eventually lead to two distinct species as in Costa Rica[costal regar] with yellow and white butterflies that no longer interbreed

哦！了解了。
但是为什么之前用的都是用females呼应males，而这一句只用female呼应males呢？
