Climate warming and habitat loss threaten British Butterfly survival
Because butterflies are cold blooded, their growth and development are closely dependent on the weather and climate. When climates change insects can either shift breeding distributions to track it, stay put and adapt, or die out. Since the 1970s, climate warming in Britain has seen almost 20% of butterflies spread their ranges northwards,... view more... (2003-06-05)
Atkins-type weight loss diets under scrutiny at Rowett Research Institute
A project about to get underway at Aberdeen's Rowett Research Institute hopes to provide new insights into the use of high-protein, low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets, with a view to developing healthy, longer-term weight reduction strategies. Non-smoking obese men aged between 20-55 years and in good general health are encouraged to volunteer for... view more... (2004-07-07)

Steroids, not songs, spur growth of brain regions in sparrows
Neuroscientists are attempting to understand if structural changes in the brain are related to sensory experience or the performance of learned behavior, and now University of Washington researchers have found evidence that one species of songbird apparently has something in common with a few baseball sluggers. Both rely on steroids. view more (2007-07-23)

Study looks at benefits of 2 cochlear implants in deaf children
Nature has outfitted us with a pair of ears for good reason: having two ears enhances hearing. University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists are now examining whether this is also true for the growing numbers of deaf children who've received not one, but two, cochlear implants to help them hear. view more (2007-02-13)
Echolocation device enables blind to 'visualise' environment
The idea was sparked by a chance conversation between a group of academics at the University - Deborah Withington, a neurophysiologist, Dean Waters, a biologist and bat expert, Brian Hoyle, an electronics expert and food scientist Malcolm Povey. view more (2000-02-01)
