Biodiversity convention is criticized as lightweight on science
Darkfrog submitted, created time 3 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)
Swedish researchers have criticized the body that advises the Convention on Biological Diversity as light on science and overly dominated by politics, and they are not alone. According to Dr. M. Stocking of the United Kingdom, the people who end up in positions as advisors "tend to be government nominees … not scientists who are up to date with the literature

The biologist Paul Ehrlich came to public attention in 1968 with the publication of his book, The Population Bomb. Worries about the potential problems of a soaring global population had boiled and cooled over previous decades. And the issue had become so enmeshed with political decisions that many just wished to ignore it. The warnings of Thomas Malthus, the eighteenth-century writer who had had such influence on many thinkers on the problems of uncontrolled population growth, had slipped into the background

Biofuels may threaten environment, U.N. warns
davidd submitted, created time 10 months 5 days (www.cnn.com)
The biofuels are better for the environment than fossil fuels and boost energy security for many countries. However, many pitfalls are just now emerging as countries convert millions of acres to palm oil, sugar cane and other crops used to make biofuels.
FOXO and insulin signaling regulate sensitivity of the circadian clock to oxidative stress
bianjie submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.pnas.org)
Circadian rhythms can be regulated by many environmental and endogenous factors. We show here a sensitivity of circadian clock function to oxidative stress that is revealed in flies lacking the foxo gene product. When exposed to oxidative stress, wild-type flies showed attenuated clock gene cycling in peripheral tissues, whereas foxo mutants also lost behavioral rhythms driven by the central clock.

An automated way of allowing cars to drive much closer to each other in heavy moving traffic, so-called platooning, could cut congestion, save fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to research published today in Inderscience's International Journal of the Environment and Pollution.
How plants learned to respond to changing environments
bianjie submitted, created time 1 year 4 months (www.eurekalert.org)
A team of John Innes Center scientists lead by Professor Nick Harberd have discovered how plants evolved the ability to adapt to changes in climate and environment. Plants adapt their growth, including key steps in their life cycle such as germination and flowering, to take advantage of environmental conditions. They can also repress growth when their environment is not favorable. This involves many complex signalling pathways which are integrated by the plant growth hormone gibberellin.
Research returns to Biosphere dome

The Biosphere 2 terrarium in the Arizona desert once again has a research life, after surrounding land was sold recently for housing. The University of Arizona at Tucson announced on 26 June that it would lease the 16-hectare Biosphere 2 complex for three years to conduct environmental studies. Researchers hope to use the 1.4-hectare dome with an enclosed pond and vegetation for ecological studies.
Bullfrogs May Serve as Hosts for E. coli
gh0706 submitted, created time 1 year 5 months (www.sciencedaily.com)
For the first time researchers have identified American bullfrogs as potentially suitable hosts for E. coli O157:H7, a common source of food-borne illness. In the study researchers orally inoculated American bullfrog tadpoles and metamorphs with E. coli O157:H7 and tested for infection after 14 days. The result showed that
tadpoles, which were housed in flowthrough aquaria, did not become infected, however 54% of metamorphs tested positive after being housed in stagnant aquaria.

Molecular studies of major depressive disorder: the epigenetic perspective
penguin submitted, created time 1 year 6 months (www.nature.com)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common and highly heterogeneous psychiatric disorder encompassing a spectrum of symptoms involving deficits to a range of cognitive, psychomotor and emotional processes. As is the norm for aetiological studies into the majority of psychiatric phenotypes, particular focus has fallen on the interplay between genetic and environmental factors. There are, however, several epidemiological, clinical and molecular peculiarities associated with MDD that are hard to explain using traditional gene- and environment-based approaches
