Updated: 2010-04-27 02:27:00A group of Argentine scientists, including health experts from the Wildlife Conservation Society, have announced that yellow fever is the culprit in a 2007-2008 die-off of howler monkeys in northeastern Argentina, a finding that underscores the importance of paying attention to the health of wildlife and how the health of people and wild nature are so closely linked........Musk Ox Population Decline Due to Climate
Updated: 2010-04-27 02:27:00team of researchers has discovered that the drastic decline in Arctic musk ox populations that began roughly 12,000 years ago was due to a warming climate rather than to human hunting. "This is the first study to use ancient musk ox DNA collected from across the animal's former geographic range to test for human impacts on musk ox populations," said Beth Shapiro, the Shaffer Career Development assistant professor of biology at Penn State University and one of the team's leaders. "We observed that, eventhough human and musk ox populations overlapped in a number of regions across the globe, humans probably were not responsible for the decline and eventual extinction of musk oxen across much of their former range." The team's findings would be reported in the 8 March 2010 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences........Mexican Cave Scorpions
Updated: 2010-04-27 02:27:00Blind scorpions that live in the stygian depths of caves are throwing light on a long-held assumption, showing that specialized adaptations aren't always an evolutionary dead-end. Looking at the phylogenetic relationships among species of the scorpion family Typhlochactidae, endemic to Mexico, Associate Curator Lorenzo Prendini and his colleagues observed that species currently living closer to the surface (under stones and in leaf litter) evolved independently on more than one occasion from specialized deep-cave ancestors adapted to life further below the surface (in caves). This finding puts a dent in both Cope's Law of the unspecialized, which assumes that novel evolutionary traits tend to originate from a generalized member of an ancestral taxon, and Dollo's Law of evolutionary irreversibility, which theorizes that specialized evolutionary traits are unlikely to reverse........Dogs likely originated in the Middle East
Updated: 2010-04-27 02:27:00Dogs likely originated in the Middle East, not Asia or Europe, as per a new genetic analysis by an international team of researchers led by UCLA biologists.

The hunt for human origins typically takes the form of fieldwork, with teams of paleontologists scouring the earth for the fossil that will add to the story of how our strange species came to be. That search has taken scientists from Africa to Siberia, adding a pelvic bone fragment here and a skull pan here [...]Zampieri in QRB: An historical overview of medicine, evolution and natural selection
