But the problem is that other individuals are smart enough to spot where an individual has hidden food and then go and take it.

The effects of habitat fragmentation on bird communities in Hyrcanian forests (Case study: Gorgan Township)

The shady side of dasatinib.

In this issue of Blood, Futosi and colleagues investigate the effects of the multikinase inhibitor dasatinib on mature human neutrophils, helping to explain the increased infection rate in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients resistant to or intolerant of imatinib. Through careful analysis of neutrophil function, the authors also develop a pathway for the development of kinase inhibitors...

Biodiversity and Habitat Changes Modelling Experiences in Ukraine and Eastern Europe Countries

This is updated study on biodiversity and its conditions in Ukraine and seven surrounding countries. It includes four different methods: the indicative-index approach, the Mean Species Abundance (MSA) and two species based approaches, one using habitat changes as driving factor (EEBIO) and the other includes climate change (SDM_GLM, BIOCLIM). The indicative-index methodology ‘BINU’ dealt with 1...
