Reservoirs may accelerate the spread of invasive aquatic species, researchers say
... to cases in which reservoirs are believed to have facilitated the rapid spread of invasive species. The authors note that reservoir construction often leads to many-fold increases in the area of standing water in a region and that reservoirs typically replace varied stream habitats with habitats more similar t...Internet viruses help ecologists control invasive species
...es and lake systems in Canada. Its spread has been facilitated because it can produce resting eggs able to survive adverse environmental conditions (such as drying out or being eaten by fish), and because humans transport the eggs on their fishing gear and pleasure boats.

... of life can betray a trend of habitat divergence, facilitated by lateral gene transfer. The emergence of traits corresponding to measurable changes in the known geologic record allow researchers to date organisms with relative certainty. Blank can then use chronological data to analyze niche specialization, "wh...Multi-species genome comparison sheds new light on evolutionary processes, cancer mutations
...of new mammalian orders. This situation would have facilitated opportunities for the isolation of mammals into more distinct breeding groups, speeding the development of species-specific chromosomes. "This study has revealed many hidden secrets on the nature and timing of genome evolution in mammals, and it dem...Opiates Better Than Sedatives For Treating Newborns In Withdrawal
... unless withdrawal is complicated and that this is facilitated by use of morphine instead of phenobarbitone. This helps keep mothers and babies together, helps in educating the mothers in mothercraft skills and to recognize signs of infant withdrawal, and helps in assessment of the quality of the mother-infant i...Low Abundance cDNA Cloned Using Stratagenes Human Universal cDNA Library
... cDNAspooled from multiple human tissuesgreatly facilitated our cloning of ACF, a very low-abundance protein. The single positive ACF clone was readily detected against a very low background after hybridization. The final purified clone was available as a bacterial stab for further ...Reliable Assessment of Micronuclei for Genotoxicity Testing in Mice or Rats
...Figure 1 ). Achieving this high resolution facilitated quantitative determination of MN-RET and RET frequencies. Figure 3 shows a dose-dependent increase in MN-RET frequencies; the control group was low, compared to the K2CrO4-treated animals (0.28, 0.41, 0.43, an...High-Titer Retroviral Vectors for Gene Delivery
...wide range of hard-to-transfect celltypes has also facilitated the reconstruction of transgenic animals.Additionally, retroviral vectors have become the system of choice for the invivo delivery of therapeutic genes in the clinic.
