In Promiscuous Antelopes, The 'Battle Of The Sexes' Gets Flipped:
In some promiscuous species, sexual conflict runs in reverse, reveals a new study. Among African topi antelopes, females are the ones who aggressively pursue their mates, while males play hard to get.

Dinosaur Mummy Found With Fossilized Skin And Soft Tissues:
The amazing discovery of one of the finest and rarest dinosaur specimens ever unearthed -- a partially intact dino mummy found in the Hell Creek Formation Badlands of North Dakota was made by 16-year-old fossil hunter Tyler Lyson on his uncle's farm.
Skin Aging Reversed In Mice By Blocking Action Of Single Protein:
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have reversed the effects of aging on the skin of mice, at least for a short period, by blocking the action of a single critical protein.
Rodent Fossils Provide Data On Climate Six Million Years Ago:
How did the rodents which inhabited the south of the Iberian Peninsula live six million years ago? The researcher of the UGR Raef Minwer-Barakat has attempted to answer this question through his doctoral thesis "Rodents and insectivorous of Upper Turoliense and the Pliocene of the central section of the Guadix basin", supervised by doctors Elvira MartÃn and César Viseras, of the Department of Stratigraphy y Palaeontology of the Universidad de Granada. His studied has concluded with the discovering of three new species of rodents and insectivores (Micromys caesaris, Blarinoides aliciae and Archaeodesmana elvirae) and the finding, for the first time in the region, of nine more species.
Choosing Dry Or Wet Food For Cats Makes Little Difference When It Comes To Feline Diabetes:
Although society is accustomed to seeing Garfield-sized cats, obese, middle-aged cats can have a variety of problems including diabetes mellitus, which can be fatal. The causes of diabetes mellitus in cats remain unknown, although there has been a strong debate about whether a dry food diet puts cats at greater risk for diabetes. A new study from a University of Missouri-Columbia veterinarian suggests that weight gain, not the type of diet, is more important when trying to prevent diabetes in cats.
Honey A Better Option For Childhood Cough Than Over The Counter Medications:
A new study by a Penn State College of Medicine research team found that honey may offer parents an effective and safe alternative than over the counter children's cough medicines.
Fossils Excavated From Bahamian Blue Hole May Give Clues Of Early Life:
Long before tourists arrived in the Bahamas, ancient visitors took up residence in this archipelago off Florida's coast and left remains offering stark evidence that the arrival of humans can permanently change -- and eliminate -- life on what had been isolated islands, says a University of Florida researcher.
Malaria Parasite In Patient Blood Finds Distinct Physiological States:
The malaria parasite has been studied for decades, but surprisingly, little is known about how it behaves in humans to cause disease. In a groundbreaking study in Nature, an international research team has for the first time measured which of the parasite's genes are turned on or off during actual infection in humans, not in cell cultures, unearthing surprising behaviors and opening a window on the most critical aspects of parasite biology.
Coral Reefs Living In Sites With Variable Temperatures Better Able To Survive Warm Water:
Finally, some good news about the prospects of coral reefs in the age of climate change. According to a new study by the Wildlife Conservation Society, corals may actually survive rising ocean temperatures in 'tough love' seas with wide-ranging temperatures.
