Diet segregation in American bison of Yellowstone National Park
Large mammals like bison often show substantial disparity in size between the sexes. These size differences can also result in other differences in behaviour. In this guest blog, John Berini and Catherine Badgley discuss their new research,最近出版BMC Ecology, that examines how differences in diet can cause male and female bison to become spatially segregated during certain times of the year.
Sugar-sweetened drinks and your metabolism
The next time you tuck into a protein rich dinner, it may be a good idea to hold off on the sugary drinks. Anew studypublished inBMC Nutritionfound that a combination of sugar sweetened drinks and a protein rich meal decreases metabolic efficiency, which can lead to more fat being stored. Here to tell us more is lead author of the study Dr. Shanon Casperson.

分类革命？带有Sandy Knapp的问答对电子广播的影响
The often rather staid science of taxonomy was firmly shaken up six years ago when plant taxonomists voted at their International Botanical Congress to allow publications describing the naming of new species in online-only journals. This change (soon also implemented by animal taxonomists) was accompanied by a level of furious debate which may surprise outsiders. Six years on, as plant taxonomists meet in Shenzen, China for their2017 Congress，我们与之交谈桑德拉博士Knapp, a key advocate of these changes. She explains why the use of e-publications was so controversial and discusses her new research,最近出版BMC Evolutionary Biology,that examines the initial impact of this major change.
清理公共卫生威胁 - 恒河
India’s Ganges river is one of the world’s most polluted bodies of water. A promise to clean India’s holiest river was made by prime minister Narendra Modi in his 2014 election campaign who stated this would be a national priority.
