The device that revolutionized marine organismal biology.
As recently as 50 years ago we had very little information on where marine mammals and seabirds went once they plunged beneath the sea surface. Though at times fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of these animals breathing in between dives, researchers had no systematic way to quantify their underwater behavior. The apparent ability of these animals to migrate long distances and execute long, d...
متن کاملConservation Biology: Beyond Marine Protected Areas
Socioeconomic and ecological analyses of eleven coral reef conservation efforts make clear that marine protected areas are not the answer, and that in fact support of local communities is far more important than some government mandated 'fishing closure'. Apparently there are marine 'paper parks' just as there are terrestrial 'paper parks'.
متن کاملNew Frontiers for Organismal Biology
June 2013 / Vol. 63 No. 6 www.biosciencemag.org have generated extensive fundamental knowledge that now has us superbly positioned for “returning to the organism” (Stillman et al. 2011). The challenge is to extend, integrate, and exploit the insights from “outward” and “inward” gene-oriented biology to develop a deeper understanding of individual organisms’ higher-order emergent characteristics...
متن کاملFrom Cell and Organismal Biology to Drugs
Because malaria takes a major toll on human health globally, the focus on how to treat it and reduce the malaria burden is understandable. But I became interested in studying the malaria parasite because of its intracellular niche in the mature red blood cell. This is a specialized host cell designed to carry oxygen to tissues, explaining its high hemoglobin content (which also confers the red ...
متن کاملLanguage: the perspective from organismal biology.
The evolution of language and its mechanisms has been a topic of intense speculation and debate, particularly considering the question of innate endowment. Modern biological sciences - neurobiology and neuroethology - have made great strides in understanding proximate and ultimate causes of behavior. These insights are generally ignored in the debate regarding linguistic knowledge, especially i...
