Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are now species of slime-mold beetles -- but strictly in homage

...eting athletes. "Researchers of the study found a surprisingly large number of runners had actually gained weight during the race and their sodium concentrations were very low - some were dangerously low," Dr. Levine said. "The recommendations listed in the study that fluid-replacement schedules be individualize...

Too much water may be as dangerous as too little during long-distance athletic events

New World founders small in number

...proach shows that the New World was colonized by a surprisingly small population with an effective size of only about 70 individuals (those individuals likely to contribute genes to the next generation). Hey's approach addresses shortcomings in traditional population genetic studies that rely on just one gene an...

New lab technique identifies high levels of pathogens in therapy pool

... cloning and sequencing technique has identified a surprisingly high number of airborne pathogens in a Midwest therapy pool, pointing to the need for closer scrutiny of public hot pools, says a new study. Led by Washington University in St. Louis and involving the University of Colorado at Boulder and San Diego ...

A human parasite with a streamlined mitochondrion

...esearchers this week, the mitosome can represent a surprisingly pared-down version of the much more sophisticated mitochondrion. In their new work on the mitosome, a team led by Edmund Kunji at the MRC Dunn Unit, Jorge Tovar at the Royal Holloway University, and Martin Embley at the University of Newcastle upon ...

Flocking together: Study shows how animal groups find their way

... mechanisms that coordinate these behaviors may be surprisingly simple and generic," said Iain Couzin, a postdoctoral researcher in Princeton's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and lead author of the study. Using computer simulations, the researchers found that group coordination arises naturally f...

Octopuses occasionally stroll around on two arms, UC Berkeley biologists report

... noted. "And it turns out that the mechanisms are surprisingly simple. Instead of killing the protein (with mutations), you merely adjust the way it is normally regulated. That allows you to make a major change in a particular body region ?and produces a new type of body armor without otherwise harming the fish....

Mooney will participate in the March 30 press conference in Washington, D.C., which will focus on the implications for the United States and international business institutions.
