However, most cross-species transmissions fail to establish in the newly-infected species. (gla.ac.uk)
This is why investigating the factors which affect the clinical outcomes of cross-species transmission in the first novel host individual infected, the index host, is important, as these outcomes can alter the likelihood of the pathogen spreading further. (gla.ac.uk)
Dr Mollentze added: "As cross-species transmission events are very difficult to observe in nature, we currently remain unable to predict which of them could potentially result in a new epidemic. (gla.ac.uk)
Studies like ours demonstrate that already-existing experimental infection data can be used to better understand cross-species infections which, if applied to more viruses, may allow us to identify general rules predicting onward spread in the future. (gla.ac.uk)

This phase 1 clinical trial is the culmination of years of research and development made possible by the unique collaborative setting that the VRC offers by bringing together top scientists, manufacturing expertise, and an outstanding clinical team," VRC Director John Mascola, MD, said in the news release.

Research to better understand the health effects associated with PFAS ex osure is ongoing, because scientists are not currently certain of how PFAS levels in the blood can affect a erson's health. (cdc.gov)
Our field research on biodiversity is primarly carried out in species-rich grasslands on Öland, an island in the Baltic. (lu.se)

Constructing as well as continuously operating large wind projects off the New England coast will affect right whales' habitats and cause noise pollution which will "stress" the whales and cause them to die off, according to a letter a NOAA scientist sent to the Interior Department, obtained by The New Bedford Light, a Massachusetts news outlet.

HAYSTAC: A Bayesian framework for robust and rapid species identification in high-throughput sequencing data. (cdc.gov)

Before genome sequencing, scientists only knew the type of group A strep strains, not if they were identical or near identical. (cdc.gov)

Formally known as Bassaricyon neblina , the olinguito has actually been lurking under the noses of museum curators, zookeepers, and scientists for decades. (theverge.com)

Ecologist Sean Graham of Sul Ross State University in Texas and colleagues observed the reticulated siren up close, properly describing the species for the first time. (businessinsider.com)
But for some reason, no one had taken the time to actually sit down and properly describe it as a species - a fact that baffled Graham and his colleague, ecologist David Steen of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. (businessinsider.com)
The trends are worrying, so while there may be more of the smaller clam species now, it is only a matter of time before they become endangered too. (sciencedaily.com)
It could also be they lived at the same time, and one species was relatively rare, and one species was very common. (npr.org)
It's the first time such hybrid embryos have been created, and the scientists from Europe and the United States hope it will provide a pathway to saving the northern white rhino sub-species, of which only two females remain. (thegardenisland.com)
Fewer than 336 North Atlantic right whales remain, down 145 from an all-time high in 2011, and the species has been listed under the Endangered Species Act since 1970, according to NOAA. (dailycaller.com)
Should scientists be punished for following up an initial key finding by drudging through the solid, time-consuming and careful science that needs to be done before the next 'breakthrough' can be achieved? (occamstypewriter.org)
It's time for the public to act, and it's time for scientists to fight. (occamstypewriter.org)
Anybody Never the less, there are always new species of animals being discovered all the time and documented. (city-data.com)
The generation time is the average time that passes from when animals are born until they have offspring and can vary greatly between species. (sdu.dk)
The models are designed to calculate the population number of a given species over time based on factors specific to the species, such as survival rate, reproduction and generation time. (sdu.dk)
She also proposed a new method that can accurately predict generation time when data is scarce, which predicts generation time from the species body mass, and reproductive lifespan. (sdu.dk)
We now have a good knowledge base for investigating the colour variation over longer evolutionary time scales among other species of this damselfly genus, which occurs in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America. (lu.se)

before this, the fossil record contains only much simpler organisms, such as single-celled species and their colonies. (soulclipse.com)

Despite the growing success in collecting data, there has long been scepticism over how reliable the data are when used to, say, estimate how abundant a threatened species is. (theconversation.com)
Then we chose three common species - shingleback lizards, Peron's tree frog, and the red-browed firetail finch - and compared citizen science observations with professionally recorded data across their distribution. (theconversation.com)
These data are, however, flawed or missing for many endangered species. (sdu.dk)
GeoEnrich is a Python package that provides functionalities to enrich geo-referenced events (such as species occurrences) with environmental data from satellites or models. (copernicus.eu)
The package makes it easy for ecological scientists to use Copernicus Data around specific points. (copernicus.eu)

Scientists have ways to estimate how the ex osure and effects in animals com are to what they would be in humans. (cdc.gov)
Scientists want to know why-and what it could mean for humans. (medlineplus.gov)

According to a marine biologist in California, this may be the first example of sperm competition between species. (newscientist.com)
The plan: A solar-powered ark containing seed, spore, sperm and egg samples from 6.7 million Earth species, to be stored in empty lava tunnels on the moon. (nationofchange.org)

This is the evolutionary view of scientists -survival of the fittest. (occamstypewriter.org)

René Dubos: Friend of the Good Earth is the only biography that documents Dubos's early life and progression into one of the 20th century's great scientist-philosophers. (cdc.gov)
