In recent years it has been established that copper plays an essential role in the health of the human brain. Improper copper oxidation has been linked to several neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Menkes’ and Wilson’s. Copper has also been identified as a critical ingredient in the enzymes that activate the brain’s neurotransmitters in response to stimuli. Now a new study by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has shown that proper copper levels are also essential to the health of the brain at rest.

WWF: Klimawandel setzt heimischen Arten mit warmen Wintern und trockenen Sommern zu

Der Klimawandel gibt vielen ohnehin bedrohten Arten den Rest – dies ist ein zentrales Fazit des in Yokohama vorgestellten fünften Klimabericht des IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change). Meist sind es nicht einzelne Ursachen, die zum Aussterben von Tieren und Pflanzen führen, sondern das tödliche Zusammenspiel mehrerer Faktoren. „Der Klimawandel hat einen Katalysator-Effekt. Bei schlechten Ausgangsbedingungen droht er für immer mehr bedrohte Arten zum Sargnagel werden“, warnt Eberhard Brandes, Vorstand des WWF Deutschland. Als Beispiel für Deutschland nennt der WWF den Auerhahn, den Trauerschnäpper sowie die Gelbbauchunke. (more…)

The behaviour of seabirds during migration – including patterns of foraging, rest and flight – has been revealed in new detail using novel computational analyses and tracking technologies.

Using a new method called ‘ethoinformatics’, described as the application of computational methods in the investigation of animal behaviour, scientists have been able to analyse three years of migration data gathered from miniature tracking devices attached to the small seabird the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus).
