How to share a bat

New research shows how different species of plants evolve unique floral adaptations in order to transfer pollen on different regions of bats' bodies, thus allowing multiple plant species to share bats as pollinators. The study, titled "Character displacement among bat-pollinated flowers of the genus Burmeistera: analysis of the mechanism, process and pattern," was published in this week's journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

   Although all cancers are not alike, most share common causes, whether it is the result of a genetic mutation or faulty biochemical signaling pathway. For that reason, drugs developed specifically for one disease might have an impact on many others. Increasingly, researchers are discovering ways of combining new and existing drugs to fight cancer -- broadening the targets of already-approved targeted therapeutics.
