| Slow research to understand fast change Posted: 17 May 2021 11:47 AM PDT A new open-access research collection reveals unexpected lessons drawn from decades of rich data from the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network. |
| Pet trade may pose threat to bushbaby conservation Posted: 17 May 2021 09:49 AM PDT At night in southern Africa, primates called bushbabies emit 'spooky' vocalizations that sound a like crying children. What may be even scarier is the possible future facing these adorable creatures. |
| Four new species of sponge that lay undiscovered in plain sight Posted: 17 May 2021 09:49 AM PDT The ocean is a big place with many deep, dark mysteries. Humans have mapped no more than 20% of the sea, and explored less. Even the kelp forests of Southern California -- among the best studied patches of ocean on the planet -- hide species not yet described by science. |
| Air quality linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's Posted: 17 May 2021 09:49 AM PDT Researchers have found a link between traffic-related air pollution and an increased risk for age-related dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. Their study, based on rodent models, corroborates previous epidemiological evidence showing this association. |
| Discovery of flowering gene in cacao may lead to accelerated breeding strategies Posted: 17 May 2021 09:49 AM PDT For the first time, researchers have identified a gene that controls flowering in cacao, a discovery that may help accelerate breeding efforts aimed at improving the disease-ridden plant, they suggested. |
| Sperm help 'persuade' the female to accept pregnancy Posted: 17 May 2021 07:26 AM PDT Sperm are generally viewed as having just one action in reproduction -- to fertilize the female's egg - but studies are overturning that view. |
| Cypriot grapes perform well in heat and on taste Posted: 17 May 2021 07:26 AM PDT Researchers have found several grape varieties native to Cyprus, which tolerate drought conditions better than some international varieties popular in Australia, contain chemical compounds responsible for flavors preferred by consumers. |
| Engineered organism could diagnose Crohn's disease flareups Posted: 17 May 2021 07:26 AM PDT Researchers have engineered a bacterium capable of diagnosing a human disease, a milestone in the field of synthetic biology. |
| How plankton hold secrets to preventing pandemics Posted: 17 May 2021 05:36 AM PDT Whether it's plankton exposed to parasites or people exposed to pathogens, a host's initial immune response plays an integral role in determining whether infection occurs and to what degree it spreads within a population, new research suggests. |
| Posted: 17 May 2021 05:36 AM PDT During an inflammatory response, things need to happen quickly: researchers have recently discovered that certain immune cells that function as security guards can use a shortcut to get from the tissue to lymph nodes. |
| The incredible return of Griffon Vulture to Bulgaria's Eastern Balkan Mountains Posted: 17 May 2021 05:36 AM PDT Considered extinct from the Eastern Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria in the 1970s, the Griffon Vulture has claimed the area back with 23-25 breeding pairs, distributed in five different colonies and two more frequently used roosting sites. This astonishing success was achieved through an ambitious long-term restoration program and the release of 153 vultures between 2010-2020. |
