Seeing the forest with the leaves - clues to canopy placement from leaf fossil size and venation characteristics.

16 Dec 2009 Although a variety of leaf characteristics appear to be induced by light environment during development, analysis of ontogenetic changes in living broad leaved trees has suggested that a number of other traits also lumped into the classic 'sun' ... Read more...

Biomineralization by photosynthetic organisms: evidence of coevolution of the organisms and their environment?

16 Dec 2009 Biomineralization is widespread among photosynthetic organisms in the ocean, in inland waters and on land. The most quantitatively important biogeochemical role of land plants today in biomineralization is silica deposition in vascular plants, ... Read more...

Mice mutant for genes associated with schizophrenia: common phenotype or distinct endophenotypes?

5 Dec 2009 Schizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder whose etiology involves a mixture of genetic and environmental factors. By virtue of this complexity, schizophrenia is a field of research in which a number of key technologies converge: in ... Read more...
