More birds equals less West Nile ...
The more birds flying around, the lower the chance that the West Nile virus is hitching a ride. Researchers at Washington University have discovered that the odds of humans catching the virus go down when the bird population in an area is more diverse, or there are lots of bird species.

What Is Wild? Odor Attraction Is Different Among Different Wildtype Flies ...
Vinegar flies (Drosophila melanogaster) show a highly selective behavior towards odor stimuli. A series of behavioral studies showed that a single olfactory stimulus is often not sufficient for immediate attraction to potential food sources or oviposition sites. Interestingly, the behavior differed between investigated D. melanogaster varieties, so-called "wildtypes".

The only action was a few ducks gliding down the winding waterway surrounded by trees and other vegetation. Moments later, though, the serene landscape was transformed into an interactive, outdoor classroom.
