...cactus, and I take those models into the field and examine them empirically to find out how well they predict what really happens," Holland said. Traditional theory of such mutualistic interactions leads to predictions of unbounded population growth or instability and eventual doom due to one species overe...X-ray images help explain limits to insect body size
... detailed X-ray images they produced at the APS to examine the dimensions of tracheal tubes in four beetle species, ranging in body mass by a factor of 1,000. Overall, they found that larger beetle species devote a disproportionately greater fraction of their body to tracheal tubes than do smaller species....Swarming starlings help probe plasma, crowds and stock market

They took a full thickness left ventricular biopsy to compare the baseline levels of metabolites in both sexes prior to isolating the hearts. The hearts were then subjected to 60 minutes of normothermic ischemia and left ventricular bio...Research aims to identify markers for menopausal women at risk for deadly blood clot
... on the results of this study, the researchers may examine the relationship of platelet activity, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk (CV) in men. It is well known that men have a higher risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than do females, and arterial clots, rather than venous clots, are a greate...Almac Diagnostics announces pioneering genetic research on ductal carcinoma in situ
