To fight disease, animals, like plants, can tolerate parasites
Animals, like plants, can build tolerance to infections at a genetic level, and these findings could provide a better understanding of the epidemiology and evolution of infectious disease, according to evolutionary biologists. View More (2007-11-07)
To Eat or Not to Eat? New Study on Appetite Stimulants for Hibernating Marmots Could Help Understand Obesity
A nutrient that's common to all living things can make hibernating marmots hungry - a breakthrough that could help scientists understand human obesity and eating disorders, according to a new study by a Colorado State University biologist. View More (2010-06-03)
Statin therapy ineffective in breast cancer prevention
Laboratory work in animals showed limited activity when statins were given to prevent breast cancer, according to a report in the February issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. View More (2009-02-05)
Animals on runways can cause serious problems at small airports
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a potentially deadly combination. View More (2009-05-05)
Primate hibernation more common than previously thought
Until recently, the only primate known to hibernate as a survival strategy was a creature called the western fat-tailed dwarf lemur, a tropical tree-dweller from the African island of Madagascar. View More (2013-05-02)
Experimental agent blocks prostate cancer in animal study
An experimental drug has blocked the progression of prostate cancer in an animal model with an aggressive form of the disease, new research shows. View More (2008-05-23)
Culprit found for increased stroke injury with diabetes
Strokes are a leading cause of mortality and adult disability. Those that involve intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) are especially deadly, and there are no effective treatments to control such bleeding. View More (2011-01-24)
The birdy smell of a compatible partner
New evidence shows that birds may choose their mate with the help of smell. They prefer a dissimilar mate because this gives their young a more efficient immune system. View More (2012-09-10)
Cold climate produced by algae contributed to onset of multicellular life
The rise of multicellular animals about 540 million years ago was a turning point in the history of life. A group of Finnish scientists suggests a new climate-biosphere interaction mechanism for the underlying processes in a new study. View More (2007-02-14)
Animal model shows early promise for SARS vaccine (p 1895)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 5 December 2003. US authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight preliminary findings which could mark an important step in the development of a human vaccine for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). A genetically engineered vaccine was found to be effective in triggering an immune reaction among six rhesus macaques. A new form of... View More (2003-12-03)
Using fMRI to study brain development
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful noninvasive tool for studying brain activity in both humans and experimental animals. View More (2007-12-03)
A Convincing Mimic: Scientists Report Octopus Imitating Flounder in the Atlantic
On the open sand plains of the Caribbean seafloor, where soft-bodied animals are routinely exposed to predators, camouflage can be key to survival. View More (2010-03-04)
Texas A&M testing oral contraceptives for animals
If you're a land owner and animals such as coyotes or wild pigs are driving you hog wild, help may soon be on the way to control their numbers in a humane way - in the form of a birth control pill for animals being developed at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

Monkeys can perform mental addition
Researchers at Duke University have demonstrated that monkeys have the ability to perform mental addition. In fact, monkeys performed about as well as college students given the same test. View More (2007-12-18)
Gaseous emissions from dinosaurs may have warmed prehistoric earth
Sauropod dinosaurs could in principle have produced enough of the greenhouse gas methane to warm the climate many millions of years ago, at a time when the Earth was warm and wet. View More (2012-05-07)
Border fences pose threats to wildlife on US-Mexico border, study shows
Current and proposed border fences pose significant threats to wildlife populations, with those animals living in border regions along the Texas Gulf and California coasts showing some of the greatest vulnerability, a new study from The University of Texas at Austin shows. View More (2011-07-13)
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 excellence in research and teaching in the physiology... View More (2003-12-05)
Emotions help animals to make choices
To understand how animals experience the world and how they should be treated, people need to better understand their emotional lives. View More (2010-08-04)
Early Land Animals Could Walk and Run Like Mammals, New Study Finds
Salamanders and the tuatara, a lizard-like animal that has lived on Earth for 225 million years, were the first vertebrates to walk and run on land, according to a recent study by Ohio University researchers. View More (2006-03-09)
Parasites help reveal new ecological rules
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara and other institutions say their new research is expected to profoundly affect the field of ecology and can assist the management of ecosystems, including forests, lakes, and oceans. And it's all because of parasites. View More (2011-07-22)
