Contemporary evolution meets conservation biology

Recent research has revealed that evolution often occurs on contemporary timescales, often within decades. Contemporary evolution is associated with the same factors that are driving the current extinction crisis: habitat loss and degradation, overharvesting and exotic species. Thus, it is relevant to many conservation situations. First, habitat fragmentation might influence the potential of a ...

Computer Science Meets Medical Science

In the past 20–30 years at least two technical advances have made quantification in pathology at a large scale possible. At the time the computing power of affordable computers increased, interest to deploy tasks emerged that were previously very laborious to perform. Combined with digital camera systems, many new possibilities became available. Examples of such measurements that were previousl...

Systems biology meets platelet biology.

tion was associated with an observable survival benefit and delay in progression to AIDS among HIV-1–infected IDUs. 3 While HTLV-I has been definitively proven to cause adult T-cell leukemia/lym-phoma and a progressive neurodegenerative illness known as tropical spastic parapare-sis/HTLV-I–associated myelopathy (TSP/ HAM), a causal role for HTLV-II with either leukemia or TSP/HAM is much less w...

Political science and conservation biology: a dialog of the deaf.

Political scientists have largely ignored conservation biology and its central concern, biodiversity. Consider two indicators and an anecdote. The indicators concern publication trends and faculty hiring in political science. In the past 20 years, the top five political science journals, as measured by their impact factor scores, have published one article focusing on biodiversity conservation ...
