Opportunities There is no doubt that standard animal models will continue to dominate the research landscape. These experimental systems will be essential to solve some of the biggest problems left uncracked in biology. Such problems include, for example, the goal of achieving a comprehensive understanding of higher brain functions. But there is an argument that, in other areas, we are seeing p...
متن کاملFive potential consequences of climate change for invasive species.
Scientific and societal unknowns make it difficult to predict how global environmental changes such as climate change and biological invasions will affect ecological systems. In the long term, these changes may have interacting effects and compound the uncertainty associated with each individual driver. Nonetheless, invasive species are likely to respond in ways that should be qualitatively pre...

متن کاملHow to communicate climate change ‘impact and solutions’ to vulnerable population of Indian Sundarbans? From theory to practice
INTRODUCTION Global consciousness on climate change problems and adaptation revolves around the disparity of information sharing and communication gap between theoretical scientific knowledge at academic end and practical implications of these at the vulnerable populations' end. Coastal communities facing socio-economic stress, like densely populated Sundarbans, are the most affected part of th...

The nanoscale and hydrophobic structures of the network enable the otherwise water-absorbing cotton to repel water nearly as efficiently as the lotus leaf. Furthermore, the treated fabrics are stronger and more resistant to tears. Nanotube concentrations of over 2% in the applied emulsion...
