Plant diseases don’t stop at national borders and miles of oceans don’t prevent their spread, either. That’s why plant disease surveillance, improved detection systems, and…
Genetic changes in threespine stickleback fish driven by seasonal shifts could help scientists predict how certain species will adapt to new environments. Climate change is…
New clues discovered in quest to unravel astrophysical mystery. Since fast radio bursts (FRBs) were first discovered over a decade ago, scientists have puzzled over…
Sutures are used to close wounds and speed up the natural healing process, but they can also complicate matters by causing damage to soft tissues…
Like rings in a tree trunk, a narwhal’s tusk provides a window into changing conditions in the Arctic. In the Arctic, climate change and pollution…
