Feeding by tourists compromises health of already-endangered iguanas, study finds
| 12/5/2013 | Feeding wildlife is an increasingly common tourist activity, but a new study published online today by the journal Conservation Physiology shows that already-imperilled iguanas are suffering further physiological problems as a result of being fed by tourists. Charles Knapp, PhD, of the Joh... [Comments] |  |
Discovery of partial skeleton suggests ruggedly built, tree-climbing human ancestor
| 12/5/2013 | DENVER A human ancestor characterized by "robust" jaw and skull bones was a muscular creature with a gorilla-like upper body and more adaptive to its environment than previously thought, scientists have discovered. Researchers found a partial skeleton -- including arm, hand, leg and foot... [Comments] |  |

Quadriplegics at risk for serious sleep breathing disorder
| 12/5/2013 | Bethesda, Md. (Dec. 5, 2013)There are over a million people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) in the United States alone with an estimated 11,000 new cases every year. Furthermore, it is estimated that there are, at least, 100,000 veterans with SCI, making the VA the largest integrated health care system in the world for SCI care. But despite this large prevalence, researchers are still discov... [Comments] |
New genetic research finds shark, human proteins stunningly similar
| 12/5/2013 | ITHACA, N.Y. Despite widespread fascination with sharks, the world's oldest ocean predators have long been a genetic mystery. The first deep dive into a great white shark's genetic code has fished up big surprises behind a design so effective it has barely changed since before dinosaurs roamed. Cornell researchers have discovered that many of the endangered great white shark's proteins in... [Comments] |
More logging, deforestation may better serve climate in some areas
| 12/5/2013 | Replacing forests with snow-covered meadows may provide greater climatic and economic benefits than if trees are left standing in some regions, according to a Dartmouth College study that for the first time puts a dollar value on snow's ability to reflect the sun's energy. The findings suggest more frequent logging or deforestation may better serve our planet and pocketbooks in high latitu... [Comments] |
UF researchers' experiment is first to simulate warming of Arctic permafrost
| 12/5/2013 | GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- Although vegetation growth in the Arctic is boosted by global warming, it's not enough to offset the carbon released by the thawing of the permafrost beneath the surface, University of Florida researchers have found in the first experiment in the Arctic environment to simulate thawing of permafrost in a warming world. Twice as much carbon is frozen in Arctic permafros... [Comments] |
Proteins' passing phases revealed

A unique combination of computational techniques and experimental data helped Rice theo... [Comments] |  |
Gene found to be crucial for formation of certain brain circuitry
| 12/5/2013 | Using a powerful gene-hunting technique for the first time in mammalian brain cells, researchers at Johns Hopkins report they have identified a gene involved in building the circuitry that relays signals through the brain. The gene is a likely player in the aging process in the brain, the resear... [Comments] |  |
