Researchers investigate new properties of edible plants improving food production

As millions of people face hunger, new properties of leading edible plants that could improve future food crop production are looked into by Flinders University.

Marine life may show resilience to climate change, but with unforeseen costs

Suppose that we could watch twenty generations of whales or sharks adapting to climate change-; measuring how they evolve and how their biology changes as temperatures and carbon dioxide levels rise.

Heat stress on cattle production may lead to severe financial loss by the century’s end

Climate change poses a potentially devastating economic threat to low-income cattle farmers in poor countries due to increasing heat stress on the animals.

Tadpoles with depleted microbiomes cannot cope with hot temperatures

In a warming world, animals could live or die by what's in their gut. That's one conclusion of a new study by Pitt biologists showing that tadpoles are less able to cope with hot temperatures without the help of microbes.

Researchers study how metabolomic assessment finds postmortem biomarkers indicating decedent’s diabetes mellitus history

One of the most important and difficult aspects of a forensic examination is identifying the cause of death.

Study provides first genetic evidence of demographic changes among hunter-gatherer populations

A new analysis of ancient human DNA demonstrates that people moved and chose their reproductive partners along complex social networks that stretched across large swathes of Africa between 80,000 and 20,000 years ago, according to a study co-led by Yale anthropologist Jessica Thompson.

UGA research determines when pollen comes of age

It cakes our cars in yellow powder every spring and taunts allergy sufferers for months on end, but pollen is more than just plant sperm.

Lifelong exercise may help counteract the deterioration of fat tissue function with age

Fat tissue plays an important role in human health. However, our fat tissue loses function as we age, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, obesity, cancer and other ailments.

Mucus-rich droplets extend aerosolized range of enveloped respiratory viruses

A modeling study raises questions about how far respiratory droplets, like those that transmit the virus that causes COVID-19, can travel before becoming harmless.

Researchers decipher the genome of Steller’s sea cow from fossil bones

During the Ice Age, giant mammals such as mammoths, sabre-toothed cats and woolly rhinoceroses once roamed Northern Europe and America.

Flavanols enhance browning of adipose tissue by activating the sympathetic nervous system

In cold conditions, brown adipose tissue (BAT) or brown fat generates heat to keep the body warm. Compared with white adipose tissue, BAT has more mitochondria-;subcellular organelles associated with energy production-;which allows it to burn calories and produce heat by activating the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp-1).

Researchers analyze the diversity of insect communities using DNA metabarcoding

How can we measure the impact on biodiversity of forest dieback caused by global changes to the environment? For the first time, an international research team involving scientists from INRAE, CNRS and the Université de Tours has analyzed the diversity of insect communities that represent 60% of forest biodiversity, using a technique called DNA metabarcoding.
