No Glacier Existed Twenty Thousand Years Ago In Trans-Ural Region
It was not that cold in subarctic areas of Russia during the epoch of the latest glaciation. This has been proved by the remains of animals found there - not only remains of such frost-resisting animals as mammoths and reindeers, but also those of horses. view more (2004-11-19)
Extinct may not be forever for some species of Galapagos tortoises
Yale scientists report that genetic traces of extinct species of Galapagos tortoises exist in descendants now living in the wild, a finding that could spur breeding programs to restore the species, The report appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-09-23)
Diversity in the deep blue seas
Nature magazine has published an article by Xabier Irigoien, a researcher at AZTI, the Basque Fisheries and Marine Technological Research Centre. The article provides data on the diversity of marine life at the bottom of the sea - particularly amongst algae. Species diversity Most research carried out on the diversity of species has been with land... view more... (2004-06-28)
A dog`s dilemma
Do you babysit the kids or bring home the bacon? FINDING a babysitter while you go out to work is, for people, an inconvenience. For the African wild dog, one of the continent`s most endangered carnivores, it`s a matter of life and death. New research shows that once packs fall below a certain size, they are likely to die out because there are... view more... (2002-02-06)
Hexavalent chromium in drinking water causes cancer in lab animals
Researchers announced today that there is strong evidence a chemical referred to as hexavalent chromium, or chromium 6, causes cancer in laboratory animals when it is consumed in drinking water. view more (2007-05-17)

Strategic Plan maintains UK at Centre of Animal Health Research
The rationale behind the publication of the Strategic Plan is the threat posed by diseases of farm animals to the well-being of every nation in terms of food, animal welfare and public health. The plan highlights the vital need to maintain UK expertise in the infectious diseases of farm animals, given that disease is dynamic and unpredictable,... view more... (2000-02-02)
Why are some groups of animals so diverse?
A new study of finger-sized Australian lizards sheds light on one of the most striking yet largely unexplained patterns in nature: why is it that some groups of animals have evolved into hundreds, even thousands of species, while other groups include only a few? view more (2007-09-20)
Higher stress leads to longer life
Eating less may make you healthier: even more reason to start that diet tomorrow. Scientists at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory have found that eating less helps marine animals cope with pollution and other stressful situations, and may even let them live longer. Professor Michael Moore found that triggering a cellular process known as autophagy in... view more... (2004-03-26)
Brown-led study rearranges some branches on animal tree of life
A study led by Brown University biologist Casey Dunn uses new genomics tools to answer old questions about animal evolution. The study is the most comprehensive animal phylogenomic research project to date, involving 40 million base pairs of new DNA data taken from 29 animal species. view more (2008-03-06)
Long-term ibuprofen regimen after brain injury worsens cognition in animal study
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that chronic ibuprofen therapy given after brain injury worsens cognitive abilities. view more (2006-07-24)
Captive carnivores not up to wild living
A study by the University of Exeter has highlighted the problems of reintroducing animals to the wild for conservation projects. Published online in the journal Biological Conservation, the research highlights the low survival rates of captive carnivores that are released into their natural habitats. view more (2008-01-21)
Humans are reason for why domestic animals have strange and varied coat colors
HUMANS have actively changed the coats of domestic animals by cherry-picking rare genetic mutations, causing variations such as different colours, bands and spots, according to a new study. view more (2009-01-16)
Reproductive speed protects large animals from being hunted to extinction

New Drive To Replace, Refine And Reduce The Use Of Animals In Scientific Research
The UK Government has announced that it is establishing a national centre for research into the 3Rs and animal welfare. The centre, which will be known as the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research, will report to the Office of Science and Technology. Funding for the 3Rs will double from £330,000... view more... (2004-05-24)
Larger nuts end up further from tree
Trees are better off if they produce large nuts. This is revealed in research by Patrick Jansen from Wageningen University. Scatterhoarding rodents appear to prefer burying larger nuts for later. The bigger the nut, the further it is buried from the tree and the more frequently it is forgotten. Biologist Patrick Jansen investigated what happened... view more... (2003-02-14)
First 'rule' of evolution suggests that life is destined to become more complex
In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers have found evidence which suggests that evolution drives animals to become increasingly more complex. view more (2008-03-18)
