Migratory bird struggles with climate – pied flycatchers lay their eggs too late
They try very hard, but pied flycatchers are not able to adapt sufficiently to the climate change in Western Europe. Dutch ecologists state this in Nature's issue of May 17 2001. Spring in Western Europe warmed up during the past 20 years and became increasingly ‘early’. However, the migratory flycatchers are still arriving at the same... view more... (2001-05-15)
WCS study on birds and streams included in federal guidelines to safeguard waterways
The results of a Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) study that rapidly measures stream habitat have been adopted by a government agency working with private landowners to restore waterways throughout the U.S. view more (2009-08-19)
Insect population growth likely accelerated by warmer climate
Insects have proven to be highly adaptable organisms, able through evolution to cope with a variety of environmental changes, including relatively recent changes in the world's climate. But like something out of a scary Halloween tale, new University of Washington research suggests insects' ability to adapt to warmer temperatures carries an... view more... (2006-10-31)
Brighter future for giant panda?
Scientists at Cardiff University, using a novel method to estimate population, have found that there may be many more giant pandas remaining in the wild than previously thought. view more (2006-06-20)
Emperor Penguins March toward Extinction?
Popularized by the 2005 movie "March of the Penguins," emperor penguins could be headed toward extinction in at least part of their range before the end of the century, according to a paper by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) researchers published January 26, 2009, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the... view more...

Which is more accurate, serology test or C14-urea breath test?
Serology and C14-UBT are the most commonly used non-invasive tests of H. pylori infection. The diagnostic characteristics of the tests depend also on the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the population tested. view more (2008-09-10)
Avian influenza virus in mammals spreads beyond the site of infection to other organ systems
Researchers at Erasmus Medical Center have demonstrated systemic spread of avian influenza virus in cats infected by respiratory, digestive, and cat-to-cat contact. view more (2006-01-16)
Bulimia And Impulsive Behavior Are Associated In Adolescence.
A group of investigators of the University of Tampere, headed by R.Kaltiala-Heino have found a strong association between bulimia and impulsive behavior. In clinical samples, bulimia seems to be associated with various dyscontrol behaviours suggesting weakness in impulse control. Population studies of adolescents, however, are needed. We evaluated... view more... (2003-01-13)
Stroke victims at twice the risk of suicide
Stroke victims are at twice the risk of suicide, finds a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The increased risk remains for around five years after the stroke. view more (2001-11-09)
When Hosts Go Extinct, What Happens to Their Parasites?
Hands wring and teeth gnash over the loss of endangered species like the panda or the polar bear. But what happens to the parasites hosted by endangered species? view more (2009-06-02)
Most people brush their teeth wrongly
More than two out of three people who say they brush their teeth twice a day have substantial deposits of plaque in their mouths, probably because they are brushing incorrectly, a government survey reveals today (Thursday, 23 March). One of the experts who took part in the national study, Dr Jimmy Steele, of Newcastle University Dental School,... view more... (2000-03-22)
Symbiotic fungi promote invasion into diverse plant communities (Rudgers et al.)
Populations of several European passerines that winter south of the Sahara have undergone a marked decline. The causes of negative population trends are largely unknown, but ecological conditions during winter in Africa may have carry-over effects during northward spring migration and reproduction. In the January issue of Ecology Letters, Saino,... view more... (2003-12-10)
DNA computing targets West Nile Virus, other deadly diseases
Researchers say that they have developed a DNA-based computer that could lead to faster, more accurate tests for diagnosing West Nile Virus and bird flu. view more (2006-10-17)
Another world-record achievement for National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is ending its year with another achievement of international importance as engineers and technicians this week completed testing of a world-record magnet. view more (2005-12-15)
Bird brains suggest how vocal learning evolved
Though they perch far apart on the avian family tree, birds with the ability to learn songs use similar brain structures to sing their tunes. Neurobiologists at Duke University Medical Center now have an explanation for this puzzling likeness. view more (2008-03-12)
Fighting for their attention
Mating strategies are straightforward in bottlenose dolphins, or are they? Much of the work carried on male-female relationships in that species to date show that males tend to coerce females who are left with little choice about with whom to mate. view more (2007-04-04)
Biodiversity conservation - no guarantee for shortcuts
New research from scientists at the University of Sheffield published in the November issue of Ecology Letters has cast doubts on the widely held `rule of thumb` that the conservation of a country`s biodiversity can be guaranteed by focusing on protecting its threatened and endemic species. In a report published this week, Aletta Bonn, Ana... view more... (2002-10-30)
Why do birds migrate?
Why do some birds fly thousands of miles back and forth between breeding and non-breeding areas every year whereas others never travel at all? view more (2007-03-02)
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)
