The end of February saw the publication of a package of papers in PLoS ONE [10] and PLoS Biology [11] describing the findings of a Scripps Institution of Oceanography/UC San Diego research expedition to the remote Line Islands of the Central Pacific. The Academic Editor of the two PLoS ONE articles, Niyaz Ahmed [12], has posted comments on both [13] papers [14] but here is an extract from his commentary on one of the articles, Baselines and Degradation of Coral Reefs in the Northern Line Islands [15], and on the package as a whole.

“I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free,” wrote Charles Dickens in Bleak House. So too are the two papers about the circadian clock of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) by Steven Reppert and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, published this week in PLoS Biology [19] and PLoS ONE [20]; the full text of both articles – and all of the articles PLoS publishes – is freely available online.
