Animals are showing signs of radiation exposure. Fish have been caught with radiation. An entire species of nails is extinct due to Fukushima.
Animal and plant mutations are being found everywhere. There is no doubt about it. Man-made nuclear radiation is wreaking havoc on human genetics human health and our environment.
i have heard of live animals to be tested as 2000 years old (though i have no reference).
@Addl The 2000 year old live animals you cite was from testing mollusk shells. The carbon in mollusk shells is dissolved from calcium carbonate in water.
when the carbon formed not the age of the animal. For this reason radiocarbon dating only works for organisms that obtain their carbon from air via carbon dioxide.
and seedlings of the parent plants that companies crossbreed to create the seeds they sell to farmers.
Sometimes we get dead animals he says. We get everything. He plucks out a black fragment that looks like plastic.
More likely they will look like the animals around you. Although insects and their relatives represent roughly 80 percent of the world s animal species ome 900000 known types he mechanics of their flight had long been an enigma.
which animals keep themselves in the air. Now we are going beyond that to understand how flies steer and maneuver.
and technology could be modified to produce vaccines against other diseases of animals and humans. In fact the technology can be modified further to produce test kits for various diseases he said.
when there was an abundance of prey animals. Legal protection of an area followed by intensive management can reduce the level of human disturbance
Species of animals that are more vocal in their expression like macaques parrots or the zebra finch used in the Jove article are unique as they provide a landscape for scientists to study song acquisition storage and regurgitation.
and study in laboratories than other vocal animals like apes. By utilizing a high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging apparatus (fmri) Dr. Van der Linden
Until recently fmri in small animals was focused mainly on rats and to a lesser extent on mice Dr. Van der Linden explains.
For example they are able to see how language acquisition may be different between animals raised in isolation
and animals raised socially or between genetically modified songbirds and naturally occurring ones. Results of these trials will allow researchers to gain insight into genetic and social components of behavior bringing insight to the Nature vs.
and provide greater insight into both animal and human cognition. Proud to be included in this significant new section Dr. Van der Linden says MRI imaging techniques should in the near future lead to major conceptual advances in the study of how the brain changes behavior
To address the major challenges in managing the growing amounts of animal and human waste water pollution; protecting water resources and restoring an economically vital coastline we will need to invest in the characterization of our water microbiological communities and shift the pollution science paradigm toward an understanding of risk and resilience under global change.
Alvarez contended that confined animal feeding operations (CAFOS) are potential sources of environmental contamination by antibiotics
and E coli which carries resistant genes directly from animals through their feces into the environment.
whether in a person an animal or in the environment the weak microbes will die
and on welfare technologies will increasingly target at early detection of signals that predict a health problem of an animal.
Our laboratory has ongoing research with the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service into remote-reporting Internet-based technologies
and wheat along with such livestock products as ruminant (animals like cattle goats and sheep that subsist on plant matter) pork and poultry.
and other animals and the risk--while minimal--may stand in the way of public acceptance.
Some form or function helps an animal to perform better in its environment but it can be hard to demonstrate exactly what that form
are trained the truckers to properly transport these animals? How long do they wait at the slaughter facility?
However Merck Animal health manufacturer of Zilmax voluntarily suspended sales of the product last September when major U s. meat packer Tyson announced it would stop buying cattle fed Zilmax due to an animal welfare concern
or muscle damage in these big heavily muscled animals. Regardless of beta-agonist use in feeding pigs Thomson said the swine industry went from having about a 250-lb. average out weight to a 300-lb. average out weight on market hogs.
and work in a particular management system to improve efficiency of animals and profitability then it is fine to use them he said.
(which have been cloned common among animals to date). Moreover, all those cloning efforts crucially relied on the use of egg cells
Many animal species learn essential survival behaviors from their parents, for example. Bereft of good role models and the ecological interactions they would have had naturally,
Since 1976, the Frozen Zoo at the San diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research has collected cell specimens form more than 800 animal species and subspecies.
and our fellow animals and plants, who are at risk of dying out. are worried we enough about saving human civilization to make this time scale, the Anthropocene, more than a mere speck in the geologic time scale?
What won survive are many of the animals we care about, and our civilization. And that is what we are talking about
