Measures to help species cope with climate change?

Many species must move to new areas to survive climate change. Often, this seems impossible. Species stranded on mountain tops in southern Europe that are becoming too hot for them, for instance, are unlikely to be able to reach northern Europe unaided. So should WE step in to help?

Testing a HELP System in a Java Application

"Given that customers mostly use the Help system when they are already frustrated by our software, we should always see to it that such errors do not exist in our help system. To do this, we will write a tool, HelpGenerator, that generates some of the boilerplate XML in the help system and checks the HTML and index files for the problems listed above. We will also build tools for displaying and testing the contextual help. We've re-engineered and improved these tools and present them in this article.

Should we move species to save them? (AP)

Species Come Second to Conservation Costs

Dr Michael Bode of the University of Queensland's Ecology Centre has called for conservationists to take the cost of conserving locations, rather than just the number of endangered species, into account when prioritising areas for protection. "We should worry more about costs of conservation and other socioeconomic factors and obsess less about exactly what species is where," Bode says. Bode sees advantages beyond simply anticipating the responses of legislators or donors. "Our research means that in many cases we no longer need to collect huge amounts of detailed, expensive biological information on where all these groups are found before we know where to act," he says. "We can act now."

Greenwatch: Elephant memory could help species survive

A new study published in Biology Letters hypothesises that old female elephants' redoubtable memory may have helped them steer their family groups towards food and safety during past incidents of drought and famine. This, the authors argue, may give them a crucial edge over other species during future extreme climate change-induced events.
