Integrating restoration and conservation within the ecosystem approach
The Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER) released its May 2008 Briefing Note on the "Opportunities for Integrating Ecological Restoration & Biological Conservation within the Ecosystem Approach" at the Convention on Biological Diversity's Ninth Conference of the Parties held in Bonn, Germany, May 19-30, 2008. view more (2008-05-19)
Children of older fathers perform less well in intelligence tests during infancy
Children of older fathers perform less well in a range of cognitive tests during infancy and early childhood, according to a study published this week in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine. In contrast, the study finds that children with older mothers gain higher scores in the same tests - designed to measure the ability to think and reason,... view more... (2009-03-09)
Argonne scientists develop techniques for creating molecular movies
They may never win an Oscar, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating accurate movies of biological and chemical molecules, a feat only theorized up until now. view more (2008-04-16)
New EMBO/NPG journal - A first in systems biology publishing

Researchers to Develop Ocean Sanctuary "Noise Budget" to Identify Sources and Evaluate Potential Impact on Marine Mammals and Fish
Like sentinels at their posts, an array of buoys equipped with underwater microphones and other sensors will be on duty in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Massachusetts for the next 30 months, recording sounds from whales, fish, ships and other sources around the clock. view more (2008-04-02)
Technique to arrest urinary incontinence
The University Hospital of Navarra is to carry out clinical trials for urinary incontinence using the intraurethral injection of myoblasts (adult stem cells obtained by means of a biopsy of the patient). view more (2006-10-04)
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)
The bizarre lives of bone-eating worms
The females of the recently discovered Osedax marine worms feast on submerged bones via a complex relationship with symbiotic bacteria, and they are turning out to be far more diverse and widespread than scientists expected. view more (2009-11-10)
Threatened bumble bee populations studied in Southampton
Work is underway by researchers at the University of Southampton's School of Biological Sciences to help halt the decline in bumble bees. view more (2004-09-14)
New 167-processor Chip Is Super-fast, Ultra Energy-efficient
A new, extremely energy-efficient processor chip that provides breakthrough speeds for a variety of computing tasks has been designed by a group at UC Davis. The chip, dubbed AsAP, is ultra-small, fully reprogrammable and highly configurable, so it can be widely adapted to a number of applications. view more (2009-04-22)
New approach to detect autism earlier
A new way of understanding autistic disorders, incorporating both psychological and biological factors, could lead to the conditions being picked up earlier, research from UNSW has found. view more (2008-01-25)
The next generation of computers will be timeless
Time is running out for the clocks that make our computers tick. Scientists have developed a new generation of hardware and software based on the simpler designs of the 1950s. Asynchronous, or clock-free systems, promise extra speed, safety, security and miniaturisation. The new designs work well in the laboratory and are only awaiting the... view more... (2002-04-05)
Liking sweets makes sense for kids
As any parent knows, children love sweet-tasting foods. Now, new research from the University of Washington and the Monell Center indicates that this heightened liking for sweetness has a biological basis and is related to children's high growth rate. view more (2009-03-19)
'Corrective genes' closer thanks to enzyme modification
Scientists from the Université de Montréal and McGill University have re-engineered a human enzyme, a protein that accelerates chemical reactions within the human body, to become highly resistant to harmful agents such as chemotherapy, according to a new study published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2009-07-29)
Scientists narrow the time limits for the human and chimpanzee split
A team of researchers has proposed new limits on the time when the most recent common ancestor of humans and their closest ape relatives - the chimpanzees - lived. view more (2005-12-20)
Divorce, antidepressants, or weight gain/loss can add years to your face
Your mother's wrinkles - or lack there of, may not be the best predictor of how you'll age. In fact, a new study claims just the opposite. The study, involving identical twins, suggests that despite genetic make-up, certain environmental factors can add years to a person's perceived age. view more (2009-02-04)
Artificial light at night stimulates breast cancer growth in laboratory mice
Results from a new study in laboratory mice show that nighttime exposure to artificial light stimulated the growth of human breast tumors by suppressing the levels of a key hormone called melatonin. view more (2005-12-20)
Experts lament lack of informed public debate on bioterrorism
Some misleading media reports about the threat from bioterrorism may be increasing the risk of widespread panic if an attack was to occur, a leading expert will warn at an open public meeting today (12 November). Scientists and journalists must work together to ensure that the public has an accurate understanding of the effects of biological... view more... (2001-12-11)
Treatment Of Residues With Wine Making
Amongst the activities involved in the making of wine is that of a number of effluents with a high organic level being produced and which generally do not respond particularly well to purification with conventional biological treatment. This type of residue, although not having toxic components, can prove environmentally problematic at times... view more... (2003-09-24)
Fly population set to double with global warming
A leading biological scientist from the University of Southampton is warning of massive increases in the UK's fly population if temperatures continue to rise. view more (2004-09-27)
