The sea robin has fascinated scientists for decades. It has the body of a fish, the wings of a bird and the legs of a crab.

 

If that wasn’t special enough, two studies published Thursday in the journal Current Biology by Dr. Kingsley and other researchers show that sea robins use their spindly legs to taste stuff, too.

 

Nicholas Bellono, a molecular biologist at Harvard University and a study author, said it was “conceptually quite similar” to how, for instance, octopuses taste their food with their eight arms, but the sensory receptors and how they’re connected to the nervous system, “is all wildly different.”

 

“It’s kind of like evolution has reused some of these pieces that already exist,” he added, “but combined them in new and novel ways.” Sea robins also have brain segments that may have evolved to interpret the sensory information coming from what used to just be fins, and now are legs with taste receptors.

Former prime minister Ehud Olmert and former Palestinian Authority foreign minister Nasser al-Kidwa agree to cooperate on advancing peace between Israelis and Palestinians, including a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, and the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state, according to a joint statement.

 

The two leaders agree to the territorial solution proposed by Olmert during his time in office based on the 1967 borders but with land swaps to account for Israeli settlements and Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem; a Palestinian capital in Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem; and the administration of the Old City by a trusteeship of five states including Israel and Palestine."
