Most countries throughout the world participate in the $40-million-per-year culinary trade of frog legs in some way, with 75 percent of frog legs consumed in France, Belgium and the United States. view more (2009-11-20)
New modeling study forecasts disappearance of existing climate zones
A new climate modeling study forecasts the complete disappearance of several existing climates in tropical highlands and regions near the poles, while large swaths of the tropics and subtropics may develop new climates unlike any seen today. view more (2007-03-28)

Animal food allergens unmasked
The relatedness of an animal food protein to a human protein determines whether it can cause allergy, according to new research by scientists from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich and the Medical University of Vienna. view more (2007-10-15)
microRNA-mediated metabolism
In the February 15th issue of G&D, Drs. Aurelio Teleman and Stephen Cohen (EMBL) assign one of the first biological functions to an animal microRNA: the microRNA miR-278 regulates energy homeostasis in Drosophila. view more (2006-02-15)
Sudden collapse in ancient biodiversity: Was global warming the culprit?
Scientists have unearthed striking evidence for a sudden ancient collapse in plant biodiversity. A trove of 200 million-year-old fossil leaves collected in East Greenland tells the story, carrying its message across time to us today. view more (2009-06-19)
Chair of Animal Welfare Physiology at The Royal Veterinary College
Collaboration Between The Royal Veterinary College And Silsoe Research Institute Professor Lance Lanyon, Principal and Dean of The Royal Veterinary College is pleased to advise all staff that the College has entered into a collaborative agreement with the BBSRC's Silsoe Research Institute. The primary objective is to work together in promoting... view more... (2003-12-05)
Food labels 'confuse' consumers
Information given about animal welfare on food labels is confusing because it varies widely between countries and between different certification bodies, research at Cardiff University has found. view more (2005-06-15)
Global warming capable of sparking mass species extinctions
The Earth could see massive waves of species extinctions around the world if global warming continues unabated, according to a new study published in the scientific journal Conservation Biology. view more (2006-04-12)
Race to halt global amphibian crisis boosted by rediscovery of endangered Colombian frogs
The rediscovery of two frog species feared extinct has made a new Colombian protected area the focal point for efforts to save amphibians from a deadly fungus decimating their populations in Central and South America. view more (2006-06-07)
Extinction threat growing for mankind's closest relatives
Mankind's closest relatives - the world's monkeys, apes and other primates - are disappearing from the face of the Earth, with some literally being eaten into extinction. view more (2008-08-05)
What we can learn from the biggest extinction in the history of Earth
Approximately 250 million years ago, vast numbers of species disappeared from Earth. This mass-extinction event may hold clues to current global carbon cycle changes, according to Jonathan Payne, assistant professor of geological and environmental sciences. view more (2007-08-10)
Varied diet of early hominid casts doubt on extinction theory, says Colorado U study
An upright hominid that lived side by side with direct ancestors of modern humans more than a million years ago had a far more diverse diet than once believed, clouding the notion that it was driven to extinction by its picky eating habits as the African continent dried, says a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2006-11-10)
Children's fears learned through observation
Psychologists have found evidence which suggests that children can learn to be fearful of something just by observing another's facial expressions. view more (2005-03-21)
Species detectives track unseen evolution
New species are evading detection using a foolproof disguise - their own unchanged appearance. Research published in the online open access journal, BMC Evolutionary Biology, suggests that the phenomenon of different animal species not being visually distinct despite other significant genetic differences is widespread in the animal kingdom. view more (2007-07-19)
Smithsonian study concludes Caribbean extinctions occurred 2M years after apparent cause
Smithsonian scientists and colleagues report a new study that may shake up the way paleontologists think about how environmental change shapes life on Earth. The researchers summarized the environmental, ecological and evolutionary consequences for Caribbean shallow-water marine communities when the Isthmus of Panama was formed. view more (2007-03-13)
The song doesn't remain the same in fragmented bird populations
The song of passerine birds is a conspicuous and exaggerated display shaped by sexual selection in the context of male-male competition or mate attraction. At the level of the individual, song is considered an indicator of male 'quality'. view more (2008-03-19)
Scientists find formula to uncover our planet's past and help predict its future
Studies of climate evolution and the ecology of past-times are often hampered by lost information - lost variables needed to complete the picture have been long thought untraceable but scientists have created a formula which will fill in the gaps of our knowledge and will help predict the future. view more (2009-05-27)
Animal Welfare: European Commission supports research to improve animal breeding and food quality
How are animals fed and treated? In the aftermath of the mad cow and other food scare crises, European consumers are more and more concerned about "farm to fork" food safety and where their food comes from. EU research can help improve animal breeding and living conditions. The European Commission discussed farm animal welfare research... view more... (2002-04-24)
The future of tropical forests
Deforestation and habitat loss are expected to lead to an extinction crisis among tropical forest species. Humans in rural settings contribute most to deforestation of extant tropical forests. view more (2006-04-07)
