Responses of Birds to Broken Eggs in Their Nests’
We tested the responses of two bird species which nest on unmovable substrates (e.g., cavities and walls) to simulated and actual egg damage in their nest. Tree Swallows (Tachvcineta bicolor) and Barn Swallows (Hit-undo ruiticaj removed broken eggs and continued to incubate the rest of their clutch, but rcsponse times took up to 8 days, and observed rejection rates were lower than reported for ...
متن کاملEvolving protected-area impacts in Panama: impact shifts show that plans require anticipation
Protected areas (PAs) are the leading forest conservation policy, so accurate evaluation of future PA impact is critical in conservation planning. Yet by necessity impact evaluations use past data. Here we argue that forward-looking plans should blend such evaluations with anticipation of shifts in threats. Applying improved methods to evaluate past impact, we provide rigorous support for that ...
متن کاملAncient bacteria show evidence of DNA repair.
Recent claims of cultivable ancient bacteria within sealed environments highlight our limited understanding of the mechanisms behind long-term cell survival. It remains unclear how dormancy, a favored explanation for extended cellular persistence, can cope with spontaneous genomic decay over geological timescales. There has been no direct evidence in ancient microbes for the most likely mechani...
متن کاملInvertebrate extracellular phagocyte traps show that chromatin is an ancient defence weapon
Controlled release of chromatin from the nuclei of inflammatory cells is a process that entraps and kills microorganisms in the extracellular environment. Now termed ETosis, it is important for innate immunity in vertebrates. Paradoxically, however, in mammals, it can also contribute to certain pathologies. Here we show that ETosis occurs in several invertebrate species, including, remarkably, ...
متن کاملEvolution: When Dinosaurs Bested Their Early Rivals
A sublime fossil discovery in Brazil shows that dinosaurs and their immediate evolutionary precursors lived together for tens of millions of years before dinosaurs ultimately rose to the top.
