Warming worries for cod
(Curr. Biol. 16, R474–R475), and from the shift in the chemical equilibria involving the carbonate ion. Wootton's work also highlights the complex dynamics of pH and carbonate changes over time. A lot more research is needed to understand in detail how these changes will play out and how they will interact with wildlife and with the changes in the atmosphere. For instance, it is not at all clea...

But climate is well known to have varied in the past, so what has been the impact of these variations on the species of the time? Most attempts to look at this issue have focused on relatively short geological periods, limited geographical ranges or few taxon...
متن کاملClimate warming causes life-history evolution in a model for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
Climate change influences the marine environment, with ocean warming being the foremost driving factor governing changes in the physiology and ecology of fish. At the individual level, increasing temperature influences bioenergetics and numerous physiological and life-history processes, which have consequences for the population level and beyond. We provide a state-dependent energy allocation m...

additional risk, he says, comes from the very property that regenerative medicine wants replacement organs to possess, namely invisibility to the immune system. " Tissues derived from iPSC may share with ES cells the potential to display immune privilege which may provide a 'safe haven' in which rare transformed cells may develop into tumours or viral pathogens may flourish under the radar of t...
متن کاملDiversity worries
But the giant weta from New Zealand holds the record as the heaviest insect. As a flightless insect, it has put on the bulk. A female measuring just 80 mm long has been recorded at 71 grammes. In perspective, most beetles at this length probably weigh 5 grammes and birds of this size would probably weigh 12 grammes. And, of course, the colonial insects break records. Jones notes that leafcutter...
