12-01-31 Wildlife health experts from the Wildlife Conservation Society have published evidence which supports the conclusion that Mongolian gazelles(瞪羚) -- one of the most populous large land mammals on the planet -- are not a reservoir of foot-and-mout...
12-01-11 New research at Oregon State University provides evidence for the first time that disruption of circadian(生理节律的) rhythms -- the biological clocks found in many animals -- can clearly cause accelerated neurodegeneration, loss of motor function...
11-12-27 The genetic changes underlying the evolution of new species are still poorly understood. Genetic studies in domestic animals can shed light on this process due to the rapid evolution they have undergone over the last 10,000 years. A new study descri...
11-12-10 Several animal species including gorillas in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk extinction if the impact of climate change and extreme weather on their habitats is not addressed, a UN report showed on Sunday. 联合国上周日公布的一份报告显示,...
11-11-30 A University of Adelaide scientist says much more could be done to predict the likelihood(可能性) and spread of serious disease -- such as tuberculosis (TB) or foot-and-mouth disease -- in Australian wildlife and commercial stock. Professor Corey...
11-07-13 Current and proposed border fences pose significant threats to wildlife populations, with those animals living in border regions along the Texas Gulf and California coasts showing some of the greatest vulnerability, a new study from The University o...
11-06-29 Llamas(美洲鸵) can't really manage it. Giraffes(长颈鹿) aren't very good at it and while big horn sheep and muskox(麝牛) excel at it, it turns out a small plant eating dinosaur the pachycephalosaur Stegoceras validum was probably even better a...
11-06-25 It has long been known as ESP, Spider Sense, or the ability to see things before they happen. But now scientists have proved that humans really do have a sixth sense - that lets them detect magnetic fields. 一直以来,第六感也被称为超感知觉、蜘蛛感应...
11-06-22 For migratory birds and sea turtles, the ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field is crucial to navigating the long-distance voyages these animals undertake during migration. Humans, however, are widely assumed not to have an innate(先天的) mag...
11-06-21 A tiger caught a fox in a forest, and was just about to eat it, when the fox said, 'You mustn't eat me. I was sent by Heaven to rule the animals. By eating me, you will violate(违反,侵犯) the command of Heaven. If you don't believe me, just follo...
