Highly adaptable genome in gut bacterium key to intestinal health

A bacterium that lives in the human gut adaptively shifts more than a quarter of its genes into high gear when its host's diet changes from sugar to complex carbohydrates. This adaptive mechanism not only allows the bacterial species to survive rapidly changing nutrient conditions but also helps maintain the functions and stability of the gut's highly complex microbial society, according...

Low level of extinction during ice age linked to adaptability

A Johns Hopkins University graduate student may have figured out why rates of extinction were so low for many of the major groups of marine life during one of the greatest ice ages of them all, which occurred from about 330 million to 290 million years ago, late in the Paleozoic Era. The likely answer: because those aquatic life forms that did survive during this era were singularly equipp...

15 generations of untrained jocks, couch potatoes show big physiological adaptations

So, you don't like to exercise? Maybe you could blame it on your great-great-grandparents. Similarly, if you're a practiced and proud couch potato who suddenly woke up to the fact that you're a "natural" athlete, the credit could also belong to your genes. Exercise research traditionally has focused on the effects of training, rather than underlying genetic mechanisms. But physiologists wo...

Otter adaptations: How do otters remain sleek and warm

Otters cavorting in the water is a scene with which we're all familiar. Yet, unlike many other mammals that spend a considerable amount of time in the water–polar bears, seals, dolphins, and whales–river otters do not have a thick layer of body fat to keep warm. They rely, instead, on a few unique adaptations; namely, their fur and the densely packed layer of specially adapted underhairs....

Retina adapts to seek the unexpected, ignore the commonplace

Researchers at Harvard University have found evidence that the retina actively seeks novel features in the visual environment, dynamically adjusting its processing in order to seek the unusual while ignoring the commonplace. The scientists report in this week's issue of the journal Nature on their finding that this principle of novelty-detection operates in many visual environments. "Appar...

Hepta Adaptor for PDS-1000 He System from Bio-Rad

Description:The Hepta adaptor for the PDS-1000 He biolistic system enables 7-10 times more cells to be transformed than the standard system. It fits into the shocking chamber of the PDS-1000 He system, where it splits the helium shock wave over 7 microcarriers. By uniformly spreading the DNA-coated gold or tungsten particles over this larger area, the system maximizes the number of cells transformed during o...

Wisconsins tax system must adapt to meet changing technology needs

The first study of Wisconsins tax burden in 25 years was designed to answer one overriding question: Is that burden fairly distributed among the rich, the middle class and the poor? The conclusion, announced last week, was a mildly convincing yes &mndash; but that wont be the end of Wisconsins never-ending debate over tax policy. The next question to be asked by Gov. Jim Doyle, the Legis...

Old theory of adaptation confirmed by new study

The adaptation theory that came up in 1971 argued that people react to good and bad events in their life, but they eventually return to a stable level of well-being. Researchers from Michigan State University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, France and England confirmed this theory based on a study conducted to evaluate the effects of marital transitions on life satisfaction....

Males Adapt To Battle With Competing Sperm

A new article appearing in the February issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science suggests that the human male has evolved mechanisms// to pass on his genes during post-copulation as well, a phenomenon dubbed "sperm competition." In their article, Todd Shackelford and Aaron Getz at Florida Atlantic University describe sperm competition as "the inevitable consequence of male...

Research Suggests Mens Sexual Behavior Adapts to Perceived Threats

A review of the latest research in sexual adaptation shows that evidence is building for what researchers call sperm competition. According to a review appearing in Current Directions in Psychological Science, physical and behavioral sexual characteristics exhibited by human males indicate that males have evolved to deliver their sperm more effectively to females with multiple partners....

Mayo Clinic Physicians Have Adapted Real-time 3-D Ultrasound Imaging Devices

Mayo Clinic physicians have adapted real-time 3-D ultrasound imaging devices -- including one designed to look at an infants heart -- so that they can watch as they use a needle filled with anesthetic to numb individual nerves located inches under the skin. In this way, they can quickly block nerve function in selected areas of the body prior to surgery, an advance that may spare pati...
