- A changing climate for protected areas
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
On April 6, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will release a report on how climate change will accelerate extinctions of species. New research in the journal Frontiers in Environment and Ecology concludes that protected areas are necessary for preventing the loss of species due to climate change. It is the first research on the relevancy of protected areas -- a mainstay of conservation efforts -- in adapting to climate change.

- Latest IPCC report highlights need for integrated climate/human behavior models
04-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
How can humans adapt to climate change without adding even more stress to the environment? Scientists are now looking at ways to integrate the human dimension of climate change -- the choices we need to make to adapt to a changing global climate -- with the sophisticated climate prediction models used for the IPCC Assessment Reports. The goal: To evaluate the best ways forward.

- Studies explore lifestyle choices and heart risks
03-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
Genetics and family history play a large role in a person’s risk for heart disease, but factors in diet, lifestyle and the environment are also thought to influence susceptibility to the disease. A number of studies presented today at the American College of Cardiology’s 56th Annual Scientific Session look at how health-related behaviors can influence a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease.

- Satellite images reveal link between urban growth and changing rainfall patterns
07-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, scientists have used satellite images to demonstrate a link between rapid city growth and rainfall patterns, as well as to assess compliance with an international treaty to protect wetlands. The results have been published in two studies co-authored by Karen Seto, assistant professor of geological and environmental sciences and a fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University.

- New evidence for female control in reproduction
11-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Adding another layer of competition to the mating game, scientists are reporting possible biochemical proof that the reproductive system of female mammals can "sense" the presence of sperm and react to it by changing the uterine environment. This can be the molecular mechanism behind promiscuous female choice, in which females that have mated with several partners play a role in determining which sperm fertilizes their egg.
