Telomeres from Drosophila appear to be very different from those of other organisms – in size and the mechanism of their maintenance. In the absence of the enzyme telomerase, Drosophila telomeres are

Rates of urbanization are accelerating worldwide. The increases in temperature associated with ‘urban heat island’ effects provide both an ecological imperative and a unique opportunity to explore the
Global warming appears to favour smaller-bodied organisms, but whether larger species are also more vulnerable to thermal extremes, as suggested for past mass-extinction events, is still an open quest
