It is in the scientific journal Nature. It is online also, here is the link: http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/nature/journal/v426/n6968/full/nature02205_fs.html

It describes using satellite data to find possibly 7 new species (Furcifer and Brookesia)!! Pretty interesting and exciting to see if researchers can discover these and to actually see what they look like.
