- The
findings of Dr.
Stephen Williams
(Centre for Tropical
Biodiversity &
Climate Change,
James
Cook
University
) suggest that
endemic wildlife
populations in
Australia
's
Wet Tropics World
Heritage Area
will be particularly
vulnerable to the
local warming trend.
- Global
climate change
will pose serious
challenges for
wildlife
populations around
the world in the
coming decades.
- Georgia Tech
researchers
have created a
nanoscale probe that
can capture both the
biochemical makeup
and topography of
complex biological
objects in their
normal environment
-- leading to better
disease diagnosis
and drug design on
the cellular level.
- Professor
Rhonda Griffiths has
suggested that
drinking water could
be a simple, cheap
and effective way to
clean wounds
according to a
recent study by the
University
of
Western Sydney
and Sydney South
West Area Health
Service.
- Scientists
have made a major
breakthrough in
understanding the
genetics of the
insect parasite that
is being targeted by
researchers as a way
of preventing
the spread of
malaria.
- Wolbachia bacteria
are parasites that
infect as many as
80 per cent of the
world’s insects
and manipulate
reproduction in
their hosts in
order to improve
their own
transmission.

- Using
global-positioning
system data
corresponding to the
movements of
elephants across the
African savannah,
researchers have
found that elephants
exhibit strong
tendencies to avoid
significantly sloped
terrain, and that
such land features
likely represent a
key influence on
elephant movements
and land use.
- Sensors,
TB modeling, cell
preparation,
and surgical implant
safety may all be
improved by a Sandia
Labs and
University
of
New Mexico
discovery that live
cells improve
nanostructures when
inserted in slurry
that, drying,
self-assembles into
them.The
nanostructures
support single-cell
life forms that are
sensitive to and
interact with their
environment.
- Scientists
have obtained a
near-atomic
resolution image of
the
three-dimensional
shape of the
hammerhead ribozyme.
The results show a
ribozyme structure
in which the atoms
are uniquely
arranged and poised
for catalysis in the
context of an
intricately twisted
and folded segment
of RNA.
