Drip-feeding 滴定进食 Ecology raids the techniques of chemistry 生态学里应用上了化学技术。 Time to change restaurant 该换家馆子了。 BIOLOGISTS are sometimes accused of physics envyand there is truth in this accusation. 生物学家们常常被认为非常嫉妒研究物理学的人。 The essential fuzziness of biological systems can never be captured by the precise,mathematically based experiments of something like the Large Hadron Collider. 他们永远不可能通过像大型强子加速碰撞那样精确、量化的实验来揭示生物学里的一些关键性的奥秘。 Between physics and biology on the spectrum of fuzziness, though, lies chemistry. 但是在这种奥秘的两极物理学和生物学之间还有化学。 And a group of researchers led by CarolynNersesian of the University of Sydney has just borrowed one of chemistrys most eleganttechniques, titration, to answer a pressing ecological question: how do animals choosewhere to feed? 最近由悉尼大学的卡洛琳涅尔谢相带领的一组研究人员借用化学里一种非常精妙的技术滴定法来解决一个迫待回答的问题：动物们如何选择觅食场所。 |
