A 'private bandwidth' for communication in bats: Evidence from insular horseshoe bats 2Oxford August 13, 2007 - Do bats use their ultrasonic echolocation calls to recognise their own species" A new study in the Journal of Biogeography by Danilo Russo and colleagues suggests that this is certainly the case for horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae). These bats find their way in the dark and detect insect prey by emitting long ultrasound calls mainly made of a constant frequency.

NIH gives $8M to University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine for myositis research 2PITTSBURGH, Aug. 13 Researchers from the division of rheumatology and clinical immunology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine are leading a worldwide effort to study a treatment for a rare autoimmune disorder called myositis, thanks to a five-year, $8 million contract from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, part of the National Institutes of...Facial attraction -- choice of sexual partner shaped the human face
Men with large jaws, flaring cheeks and large eyebrows are sexy, at least in the eyes of our ancestors, researchers at the Natural History Museum have discovered. Facial attractiveness played a major role in shaping human evolution, as studies on our fossil ancestors have shown our choice of sexual partner has shaped the human face. The findings appear in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE.....Study begins to reveal clues to the cause and progression of sepsis
