Meanwhile, in the current issue of JAMA, another study found that intensive blood-glucose therapy in diabetes patients was not linked with greater mortality...
...that transcontinental migration is about to get even longer, thanks to global warming. In a new study in the Journal of Biogeography, scientists at the British universities Durham and Cambridge found that migration flights undertaken by warblers in Europe and Asia could be extended by as much as 250 miles by the end of the century. That's because as temperatures rise, the habitats of birds like the whitethroat, which breed in Europe, will need to shift farther north to more hospitable climates. But the birds' wintering grounds in Africa appear unlikely to shift northward - for reasons that still aren...
