New study finds animals do recover from neglectanimal sanctuaries can play an important role in rehabilitating goats
or shelter before arriving at a sanctuary. They created a spatial awareness test which involved giving the animals an opportunity to look for food to understand the link between poor welfare
and might have implications for animal sanctuaries in how they tailor the care they provide for the different sexes.
The study shows that animal rescue centres such as Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats where we collected our data can provide a vital role in reversing long-term neglect once the animals receive excellent care.

Research conducted by Dr. Nachum Ulanovsky and research student Michael Yartsev of the Weizmann Institute's Neurobiology Department published today in Science reveals for the first time how three-dimensional volumetric space is perceived in mammalian brains.

And by providing additional refuge from predators fleshy seaweeds that drift in and out of seagrass beds can maintain larger grazer populations
which is expected to reduce the ability of refuges to delay resistance. Refuges consist of standard plants that do not make Bt toxins
and thus allow survival of susceptible pests Under ideal conditions inheritance of resistance is not dominant
and the susceptible pests emerging from refuges greatly outnumber the resistant pests. If so the matings between two resistant pests needed to produce resistant offspring are unlikely.
According to Tabashnik overly optimistic assumptions have led the EPA to greatly reduce requirements for planting refuges to slow evolution of pest resistance to two-toxin Bt crops.
The new results should come as a wakeup call to consider larger refuges to push resistance further into the future Carriã re pointed out.
Our simulations tell us that with 10 percent of acreage set aside for refuges resistance evolves quite fast
and really know how much refuge area is required. Meanwhile let's not assume that the pyramid strategy is a silver bullet.

For example farmers in the United states and Australia have used planting of pest-friendly refuges to delay evolution of insect resistance to genetically engineered corn and cotton.
These genetically modified crops kill certain pests but without refuges the pests quickly adapt. Providing refuges of conventional plants has been especially effective for suppressing resistance in the pink bollworm an invasive pest of cotton.
However Peter Jørgensen also cautions: In many cases decision makers must pay more attention to assuring that long-term benefits of applying these solutions do not come at a short-term cost for some individuals for example from yield loss due to localised effects of pests in a particular year.
For example numerous studies of A. gambiae taken from African huts have found that virtually all the females collected contained human blood:

and implement resistance management strategies such as providing refuges of standard cotton plants that do not produce Bt proteins and releasing sterile pink bollworm moths.
Planting refuges near Bt crops allows susceptible insects to survive and reproduce and thus reduces the chances that two resistant insects will mate with each other

and by setting up dark refuges connected by dark corridors for light-sensitive species like bats Lewanzik says.
and the practice of growing refuges of non-Bt plants that serve as a reservoir for insects with Bt susceptible genes. â#oeour paper argues there is another factor involved:
Each cage contained Bt broccoli and refuges of non-Bt broccoli. They studied populations of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) larvae a pest of broccoli and their natural enemies ladybird beetles (Coleomegilla maculata) for six generations.
Cages contained different combinations of treatments with and without predators and with and without sprayed insecticides on the non-Bt refuge plants.
Farmers commonly spray insecticides on refuge plants to prevent loss by pests but such sprays can kill predators and prey indiscriminately.
The results showed that diamondback moth populations were reduced in the treatment containing ladybird beetles and unsprayed non-Bt refuge plants.
In contrast Bt plants with no refuge were defoliated completely in treatments without ladybirds after only four to five generations showing rapid development of resistance in the pests.
In the treatment with sprayed non-Bt refuge plants and predators diamondback moth populations were reduced

and the Forest Herbarium (BKF--Thailand) discovered a new species of Stone Oak in the Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand.
This isolated sanctuary is popular for its rich bird -and wildlife such as the Blue-banded Kingfisher and Whitehanded Gibbons as well for its rare and beautiful flora like Rafflesia's--known to hold some of the largest flowers on earth.
The wildlife sanctuary covers a region of low-lying forested mountains and is located in the middle of a fascinating transition zone that lies between the northern Indochinese and the southern Sundaland biogeographic regions.
A recent addition to the endemic species of this area is described the newly species of Stone Oak currently known only from the sanctuary.
and has not been recorded outside Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary. During our field survey we found only one individual tree located on a gentle sloping section of closed dense forest explains one of the authors Dr. Strijk.
but additional survey work will have to be undertaken to determine the actual population size within the sanctuary.
and other flora and fauna present in the Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary. The unique species composition high diversity and relatively intact forest structure underscore the importance of strengthening ongoing and future conservation measures at Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary as a key element of wider
conservation efforts in southern Thailand adds Dr. Strijk. Currently more than 300 species of Stone Oak have been described occurring from eastern India to Japan and the eastern tip of Papua new guinea.

Barclay originally discovered a maternity roost of bats during a demolition and had to adapt his project to the tune of six extra weeks and $70, 000.
Because of the declining bat population, British legislation protects bats and their roosts. Fungal disease and habitat destruction have endangered the bats and modern buildings pose new problems for bats pushed out of rural habitats to urban areas because of development.
The concern is so great that the Royal Institute of British Architects is offering a course, in conjunction with the Bat Conservation Trust, on designing bat roosts.
