Great tits found hunting bats for food In British gardens they are welcome visitors, stopping off to sing and snack on the caterpillars. But in a remote cave in Hungary they are exhibiting some unusual behaviour. There, great tits have turned into predators who search out and eat roosting bats.Scarcity of normal dietary staples is believed to have led the birds to prey on the creatures, the first time the extraordinary behaviour has been seen.A team of scientists, led by Peter Estók at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany, reported that on hearing the pipistrelle bats squeak the great tits entered the cave in north-east Hungary and started to peck at them as they sheltered in crevices. Whether the birds are an isolated group who have learned to prey on these bats in the cave, or whether great tits in Europe are altering their eating habits in a similar way, is uncertain, the scientists say.The researchers staked out the cave and spent 22 days observing over two winters.

A significant fraction of these particles are aspherical, yet scientists must routinely assume the particles are spherical to interpret many measurements of particle properties. To determine the true shape of particles, experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Imre Consulting devised SPLAT II, a single particle mass spectrometer that provides extremely precise particle measurements. Physorg.comIn Mass., A Bid To Tag Great Whites Beaches in Chatham, Mass., have been closed after the sighting of great white sharks in the waters of the area, but scientists in the area are tagging the animals. Greg Skomal, a marine biologist with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, says the sharks are being drawn by a large grey seal colony. Bill Chaprales, a commercial harpoon fisherman, says they have to get 4 feet from the shark in order to tag it.

Science dailyEnzyme inhibitor takes an unexpected approach toward blocking cancer-promoting protein [NEWS] Scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center have discovered a unique method of attack that may be used to inhibit signaling enzymes called kinases, which often have a role in sustaining drug-resistant cancerous cells. They have confirmed that IPA-3, a small molecular inhibitor of a kinase called PAK1, targets the enzyme's regulatory domain, mimicking how enzymes are naturally regulated within cells. “Typically, research has focused on ways of blocking the active site of enzymes, the part of the… LifeSciencesWorld.com1 2 3 |
