It was prompted by the work of collaborators Dr Geraldine Wright and Dr Sally Williamson at Newcastle University who found that combinations of these same pesticides affected learning and memory in bees.
Their studies established that when bees had been exposed to combinations of these pesticides for 4 days as many as 30%of honeybees failed to learn
Dr Geraldine Wright said: Pollinators perform sophisticated behaviours while foraging that require them to learn
Dr Christopher Connolly said: Much discussion of the risks posed by the neonicotinoid insecticides has raised important questions of their suitability for use in our environment.

and lack of employment would be related to a higher level of relighting says Dr. Steinberg who is also an associate professor of medicine at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical school and an associate professor of health education and behavioral science at UMDNJ
The research has been led by Dr Charlotte Packman from UEA's school of Environmental sciences in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society Cambodia Program and Birdlife International.
Dr Packman said: Tropical and flooded grasslands are among the most threatened ecosystems globally. The area around the Tonle Sap lake is the largest remaining tropical flooded grassland in Southeast asia.
Dr Packman added: Between 1995/1996 and 2005 the encroachment of scrubland was the major cause of grassland loss due to a reduction in traditional low intensity agricultural practices in the grasslands.

and tropical ecologists from the UK USA Australia and Brazil and was led by Dr Chris Huntingford from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in the UK.
Dr Huntingford and colleagues used computer simulations with 22 climate models to explore the response of tropical forests in The americas Africa and Asia to greenhouse-gas-induced climate change.
Lead author Dr Chris Huntingford from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in the UK said The big surprise in our analysis is that uncertainties in ecological models of the rainforest are significantly larger than uncertainties from differences in climate projections.
Co-author Dr David Galbraith from the University of Leeds said This study highlights why we must improve our understanding of how tropical forests respond to increasing temperature and drought.
Co-author Dr Lina Mercado from the University of Exeter and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology said Building on this study one of the big challenges that remains is to include in Earth system models a full representation of thermal acclimation and adaptation of the rainforest to warming.

Dr Emma Boyland from the Institute of Psychology Health and Society who led the research said:
Study leader Dr Geraldine Wright Reader in Neuroethology at Newcastle University explained that the effect of caffeine benefits both the honeybee and the plant:
Dr Wright added: This work helps us understand the basic mechanisms of how caffeine affects our brains.
Dr Julie Mustard a contributor to the study from Arizona State university explains further: Although human and honeybee brains obviously have lots of differences
and functions in a similar fashion to that of phytase included in the diet said Dr. Cecil Forsberg Professor Emeritus Department of Molecular
Dr. Hecht said these results further underscore the need for enforceable public smoking bans and other measures to reduce passive inhalation of cigarette smoke.
and then to heart attacks so this lends more credence to enforcing smoking bans Dr. Hecht said.
Although his team did not use the standard Agatston score to assess CAC Dr. Hecht said this study further validates the utility of low-dose non-gated CT scans to measure the amount of plaque in the coronary arteries in nonsmokers exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke.
Lead researcher Dr Paul Dolman from UEA's school of Environmental sciences said: Deer management is often based on guesswork.
Dr Kristin Wäber who conducted the study while a Phd student at UEA said:
When I first heard what Dr. Kiang's team had found I was shocked said blood platelet expert Dr. Joel Moake a study co-author who holds joint appointments at Rice and BCM.
Moake whose research group was the first to describe how high shear stress could cause platelets to stick to VWF said I had thought that the condition might last for such a short time that it would be unmeasurable.
That is why Dr. Kiang's research is so important and makes it more likely that therapeutic interventions can be designed more rationally.
the rapid trend towards extinction--potentially within the next decade--of the forest elephant says Dr. Samantha Strindberg of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) one of the lead authors of the study.
We don't have much time before elephants are gone says the other lead author Dr. Fiona Maisels also of WCS.
Co-author Dr. John Hart of the Lukuru Foundation says: Historically elephants ranged right across the forests of this vast region of over 2 million square kilometers (over 772000 square miles)
Dr. George Wittemyer of Save the Elephants and Colorado State university says: This study provides unequivocal evidence of the rapid demise of one of the planet's most charismatic and intelligent species. The world must wake up to stem this destruction of species due to conspicuous consumption.
Dr. Stephen Blake of the Max Planck Institute says: Forest elephants need two things: they need adequate space in
And Dr. Douglas Webb of United nations Development Program warned that tobacco use poses a major health and human development threat.
Historically we've seen symptoms similar to IBDS associated with viruses spread by large-scale infestations of parasitic mites says Dr. David Tarpy an associate professor of entomology at North carolina State university
We found that colonies affected by IBDS had a risk factor of 3. 2 says Dr. Dennis vanenglesdorp of the University of Maryland who was lead author on the paper.

so will the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere says Dr Frans-Jan Parmentier a researcher at Lund University Sweden.
which has a strong negative impact on the climate according to Dr Frans-Jan Parmentier. In addition to the changes on land the present study shows that there are a number of uncertainties surrounding the effects of the melting ice on the amount of greenhouse gases exchanged by the ocean through natural processes.
We know very little about how the shrinking sea ice cover disturbs the balance of greenhouse gases in the sea in the long term says Dr Parmentier.
Co-author David Persse Houston Fire department EMS physician director and a public-health authority for the city said it's long been thought by EMS workers that certain types of air pollution including ozone have significant negative effects on cardiac and respiratory health.
Certainly there are many more mecopterans species yet to be discovered in these forests said the lead author Dr Renato Machado from the Texas A & M University college Station USA.
We decided to work with Dr. Price's spectral analysis team to try using this new technology in our soybean breeding nursery Schapaugh said.
The study led by Dr Vincent Gauci of The Open University and published in the journal New Phytologist may help to resolve an ongoing controversy about the origins of methane in the tropics.
In 2011 Sunitha Pangala a Phd student at The Open University who is supervised co by University of Bristol researcher Dr Ed Hornibrook spent several weeks in a forested peat swamp
Dr Gauci said: This work challenges current models of how forested wetlands exchange methane with the atmosphere.
Establishing whether tree-mediated emissions of methane are ubiquitous in tropical wetlands is now the focus of a new three-year Natural Environment Research Council grant to Dr Gauci
and Dr Hornibrook that begins later this year. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by University of Bristol.

Dr Helen Wickstead spotted an opportunity to delve below the surface of an area of land at the University's Seething Wells hall of residence after looking at historic maps and images of the area alongside the River Thames.
when cholera had been ravaging the capital Dr Wickstead explained. A garden on a site like this might tell us more about the people who lived
and the parched grass visible on modern satellite images also suggested its presence Dr Wickstead said.
That showed us it was a functional feature rather than decorative Dr Wickstead who lectures in heritage said.
We were excited very to find a fragment of flint that we believe is a chipping from the making of Neolithic tools Dr Wickstead who is also a pre-historian said.
I like to imagine one of those people could even be the engineer James Simpson who invented the capital's water filtration system Dr Wickstead said.
On closer inspection two had names of people on them Dr Wickstead said. We'd love to find out more about Derek Ellis
Students studying historic building conservation joined Dr Wickstead on the dig. Third year Crispin Thomas who is interested particularly in Medieval carpentry helped survey the ground with an auger--a drilling device that tests resistance to see how deep top soil is.
Dr Wickstead said that small green patches of land like that at Seething Wells were scattered all over London
and vegetables patients had a favorable response by reduction of urinary kidney injury markers said Dr. Wesson.
Our study suggests that these interventions will help maintain kidney health in those with kidney disease added Dr. Goraya.

Dr Grischa Perino suggests that some recommendations made by government agencies and environmental NGOS about how individuals can reduce GHG emissions are inappropriate in the European union because of its Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)
But in a new discussion paper by UEA's Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social science Dr Perino says that once the EU ETS cap is in place installing energy efficient lightbulbs flying less
but it does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions said Dr Perino an environmental economist in the School of economics and member of the Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE) at UEA.
However Dr Perino says that while this scheme reduces greenhouse gas emissions it only does so
Dr Perino recommends that to reduce emissions in EU ETS sectors such as electricity production people should put pressure on politicians to reduce the cap of the EU ETS.
and established carbon footprint labels can increase total emissions said Dr Perino whose findings are based on a mathematical model of consumption choices.
cap and trade schemes limit green consumerism by Dr Grischa Perino will be published by the Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social science on January 30.

Dr Rachel Pechey first author of the study from the University of Cambridge's Behaviour and Health Research Unit said:
Howlers are arboreal primates that is to say they spend their wholes lives in the trees said Dr Jacob Dunn from Cambridge's Department of Biological Anthropology who carried out the research.
and planting fruit trees--particularly those species such as figs that can produce fruit during periods of general fruit scarcity--for the conservation of howler monkeys said Dr Jurgi Cristã bal-Azkarate also from Cambridge who led the research
in collaboration with Dr Joaquim Vea from the University of Barcelona. The authors say that further studies are required to fully understand the significance of increases in stress in howler monkeys living in disturbed habitats.
The study was led by Dr Nicholas Brereton and Dr Michael Ray both from the Department of Life sciences at Imperial College London who worked with researchers at Rothamsted Research and the University of the Highlands and Islands'Agronomy Institute (at Orkney College UHI).
The study is published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels. Dr Brereton said: We've known for some time that environmental stresses can cause trees to naturally develop a slightly modified'reaction wood
and that it can be easier to release sugars from this wood. This is an important breakthrough our study now shows that natural genetic variations are responsible for these differences
Dr Angela Karp at Rothamsted Research who leads the BBSRC-funded BSBEC-Biomass project said#oewe are excited very about these results

Dr. Maguire studied Vitamin d blood tests of 1896 health children under 6 years of age. The children were part of TARGET Kids!(
a unique collaboration between children's doctors and researchers from St michael's Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children.
and cow's milk said Dr. Maguire who was surprised to find that 57 per cent of the children were taking a regular Vitamin d supplement.
Research published by Dr. Maguire in the journal Pediatrics in December found that drinking two cups of cow's milk per day was enough to maintain adequate Vitamin d levels in most children.
Scientists from the Harvard School of Public health in the United states and the University of East Anglia United kingdom conducted a prospective study among 93600 women ages 25 to 42 who were registered with the Nurses'Health Study II.
and then extrapolating the findings Dr à degaard explains. Greater diversity of flora means more speciesyet another interesting result of the study is that the number of arthropods can be determined based on the number of plants living in the forest.
According to Dr à degaard the most important argument is that the human race is entirely dependent on diversity in nature.
