The female tsetse fly, which gives birth to adult-sized live young, produce weaker offspring as they get older, and when they feed on poor quality…
A Spartan-led research team has uncovered an answer — at least for the most recent population decline — with a huge assist from volunteers. Michigan…
Ability to identify other animals from relative positioning of the joints not unique to vertebrates. Jumping spiders can distinguish living from non-living objects in their…
Cells undergoing cell death protect their neighbors to maintain tissue integrity. To enable tissue renewal, human tissues constantly eliminate millions of cells, without jeopardizing tissue…
Researchers from the University of Tsukuba find that ocean warming and acidification are shifting temperate coastal reefs to simple turf-dominated ecosystems. At Shikine Island, Japan,…
While scientists at our partner institutions are directly focusing on shark conservation, NASA’s Earth-observing satellites collect key information about sharks’ habitat – the ocean. NASA’s…
Accurate protein structure prediction now accessible to all. Scientists have waited months for access to highly accurate protein structure prediction since DeepMind presented remarkable progress…
Amid debate around the origins of SARS-CoV-2, leading global biologists have reviewed the scientific evidence to help clarify the origin of the virus that causes…
For the first time ever, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine discovered that phages — tiny viruses that attack bacteria — are…
You can snuggle wolf pups all you want, they still won’t ‘get’ you quite like your dog. You know your dog gets your gist when…
Studies in brainless slime molds reveal that they use physical cues to decide where to grow. If you didn’t have a brain, could you still…
A team of international researchers, led by the University of Bologna, has discovered the fossilized remains of methane-cycling microbes that lived in a hydrothermal system…
Genetics toolkit targets less researched Culex mosquitoes, which transmit West Nile virus and avian malaria. Since the onset of the CRISPR genetic editing revolution, scientists…
The extraordinary ability of animals to rapidly evolve in response to predators has been demonstrated via genetic sequencing of a waterflea population across nearly two…
