Our next step is to measure how the rates of biological nitrogen fixation are influenced by community changes.
and the dynamic techniques biologists utilize to ensure the survival of threatened animals. Often scientists study biodiversity at all levels--from genes to entire ecosystems.
Genotyping is helping conservation biologists determine the best course of action to ensure biodiversity and the preservation of various species in the U s. and abroad.
and other noninvasive means offer a safer technique to examine species said Lori Eggert associate professor of biological sciences in the College of Arts & Science at MU.

#New study may aid rearing of stink bugs for biological controlmany people think of stink bugs as pests especially as the brown marmorated stink bugs spreads throughout the U s
. However certain stink bugs are beneficial such as Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) a predatory stink bug that is considered an important biological control agent for various insect pests of cotton soybean tomato
Now a new study appearing in Annals of the Entomological Society of America called Effect of Egg Rearing Temperature and Storage Time on the Biological Characteristics of the Predatory Stink Bug Podisus
Our goal was to evaluate the effect of low temperatures on the biological characteristics of P. nigrispinus with the aim of optimizing mass-rearing programs for this potential biological control agent the authors wrote.
and that the eggs could be stored for up to 17 days without significantly affecting most of the biological characteristics analyzed in the study.
Our results suggest that low temperatures can be used to store eggs for mass rearing of this potential biological control agent the authors write.
In Cretaceous flowers we've never before seen a fossil that shows the pollen tube actually entering the stigma said George Poinar Jr. a professor emeritus in the Department of Integrative Biology at the OSU College of Science.

It may be more use of biological control mechanisms. We can expect to see more animal diseases,
But Anke Domaske, a German biologist and fashion designer, has come up with a clever way of making sure it doesn't just go to waste.
Up to now, we've had a lot of great science in the area of bio-acoustics and environmental acoustics.
Bio-acoustics has been the study of the vocalization of animals, studying behavior, physiology, anatomy related to that.
Biophony-To be able to understand the biological voices that occur in the landscape Geophony-Sounds from the geophysical environment,
there are few biological vocalizations occurring. There are fewer organisms that are singing and calling and chirping.
we're in danger of losing the biological signals that we're all used to in the landscape.
That's why we hearken back to Rachel Carson's original statements that by modifying the landscape we could be pushing out organisms that are creating the biological voices of that landscape.

But what about biology? Might biohacking tinkering with the DNA of existing organisms to create new ones lead to innovations of a biological nature?
The potential is certainly there. The cost of sequencing DNA has fallen from about $1 per base pair in the mid-1990s to a tenth of a cent today,
