| Abuse of students doing anthropological fieldwork Posted: 13 Apr 2013 06:48 AM PDT College athletes are not the only ones who sometimes suffer at the hands of higher ups. A new report brings to light a more hidden and pernicious problem -- the psychological, physical and sexual abuse of students in the field of biological anthropology working in field studies far from home. |
| The Rosette Agent: Monitoring a new threat in Britain's rivers Posted: 11 Apr 2013 04:55 AM PDT There are more than four million anglers in the UK and the sport generates an estimated £3.5 billion for the economy. But research has uncovered a new threat that could put many of the native fish species UK anglers rely on at risk. |
| Pollution: Learning the limits for marine species Posted: 11 Apr 2013 04:55 AM PDT Work by biologists and marine scientists over the past 10 years has covered such commercial resources as shrimp, scallops, herring and cod. Establishing tolerance levels for these and other species is one of the tools needed to determine how Barents Sea oil production can be pursued in an environmentally acceptable way. Tolerance levels are measured when a species is at the larval stage, the phase in its growth where it has the greatest vulnerability to oil pollution. |
| Eating solid food early sets marmosets on path to obesity Posted: 10 Apr 2013 10:14 AM PDT Baby marmoset monkeys that began eating solid food earlier than their peers were significantly more likely to be obese at one year of age, scientists have found. |
| War on bugs: New research could lead to better bed bug control Posted: 10 Apr 2013 10:13 AM PDT Genetic analysis of the tiny but tough bloodsuckers reveals a potential biological target for pest control methods. |
