“In 2000 he was told by his doctor he had only a few months to live,” said Pardini, a professor of biochemistry and associate director of the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station. “But five years later, he is still alive, and has even gained a little weight.” Read more...

North of Hawthorne runs a river of life. The Walker River feeds Walker Lake, a popular fishing destination, and serves the irrigation needs of hundreds of farmers along its course.
But between over-appropriation of water rights, drought and an invasion of foreign trees, water is growing scarce – and everything involved is drying up as a result. That’s why researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno are thrilled with the early successes of a recent biological control program aimed at saving the vanishing waters. Read more...

Research team discovers hormone that causes malaria mosquito to urinate
By
Bob Conrad,
Wednesday, August 24, 2005
When a mosquito sucks blood from a human—and only pregnant female mosquitoes do this—it will take in twice its body weight in blood. To decrease this added weight, the mosquito urinates on its victim to release fluids. Researchers have discovered that introducing one of two diuretic hormones, DH31, into the mosquito causes the mosquito to excrete fluid rich in sodium chloride, the main salt in blood. Stimulation of this process when the mosquito is not feeding could make the mosquito die. Implications of this discovery, which is published in September’s issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology, could lead to the development of a pesticide for controlling mosquitoes.

Nevada’s wild horses. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, one fact about the Great Basin’s feral animals is indisputable—the free-roaming animals are challenge to manage.
“Wild horses are a management problem in the sense that they can overpopulate an area fairly rapidly,” according to Meeghan Gray, a doctoral student of ecology, evolution and conservation biology. “They represent a unique problem because they reproduce so well even under really poor conditions and can cause extensive damage to a rangeland.”

Researchers discover key gene involved in bark beetle pheromone production

Tuesday, June 28, 2005
University of Nevada, Reno scientists have ended a decade-long controversy over the process by which bark beetles make pheromones: they manufacture their own monoterpenes – the fragrant substances plants produce and which are often used in perfumes. It had been thought that insects and other animals were incapable of making these substances.
"The goal of our research is ultimately to control pheromone production," said Gary Blomquist, professor and chair of biochemistry and molecular biology, who co-authored with several members of his department an article that will be published this week(June 27 – July 1) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
