Toxicity at the base of the aquatic food web increases with changing climate

Climate change impacts on freshwater systems can lower nutrition and increase toxicity at the base of the food web, according to research from Dartmouth College and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Human-induced environmental change affects animals' behavioral traits

Humans are shaping environments at an accelerating rate. Indeed, one of the most important current topics of research is the capacity of animals to adapt to human-induced environmental change and how that change affects the expression of animal traits.

Experts describe structure of protein complex vital for proper cell function

Mitochondrial diseases exhibit different symptoms like muscle weakness, severe fatigue, even blindness. Most genetic diseases are the result of mitochondrial defects.

"Land sparing" approach in farming meets future food targets and creates habitats for many species

Farming should be as high-yield as possible so it can be limited to relatively small areas, allowing much more land to be left as natural habitats while still meeting future food targets, according to a major new analysis of over a decade of research.

Study explores the benefits of the MIND diet for older adults

Scientists identified that older adults could take advantage of a specific diet named the MIND diet even when the protein deposits are developed.

Coral reef biodiversity shuffles rather than the predicted collapse under ocean warming, acidification

Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse, complex and productive ecosystems on the planet. Most of coral reef biodiversity consists of tiny organisms living deep within the three-dimensional reef matrix.

Coral reefs' capacity to provide ecosystem services has declined by half since the 1950s, study finds

The capacity of coral reefs to provide ecosystem services relied on by millions of people worldwide has declined by half since the 1950s, according to a new University of British Columbia-led study.

Low oxygen conditions are pushing fish species out of their optimal habitats, finds study

Fish can drown. While it may not seem like it, fish do require oxygen to breathe; it's just that they get what they need from the oxygen dissolved in water rather than in the air.

Combining bacteriophages with antibiotics to treat antibiotic-resistant infections

Mycobacterium abscessus, a relative of the bacteria that cause tuberculosis and leprosy, is responsible for particularly severe damage to human lungs and can be resistant to many standard antibiotics, making infections extremely challenging to treat.

Genomics data helps explain the world's biggest migration of sardines

Scientists have discovered how the Sardine Run, one of the world's biggest migration events, works.

Study reveals extreme changes in feeding patterns of yellow-legged gull in the Medes Islands

The diet of the yellow-legged gull in the Medes Islands (Girona, Spain) has changed extremely over the last decades, according to a study that analyses the changes in the diet of this species over the last twenty years.

Researchers develop a new method for monitoring organic pollutants using plants

Researchers at Kobe University's Biosignal Research Center have successfully developed plants that can be used to detect organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which contaminate soil and water.

Insect protein shows potential to reduce food-based carbon footprints in Europe

Researchers at the University of Helsinki and LUT University, Finland, have analysed the extent to which insect protein could help to reduce global warming associated with food consumption in Europe.

New CRISPR-based technique for rapid screening of hundreds of genes in a single experiment

Zebrafish- small, fast-growing creatures who share many of the same genes as humans- are instrumental to many biologists, who find them uniquely well suited for studying a wide range of questions, from how organisms develop to how the nervous system drives behavior.

Tiny freshwater floating plant may help scientists to grow better crops

Duckweed, a tiny freshwater floating plant, is an excellent laboratory model for scientists to discover new strategies for growing hardier and more sustainable crops in an age of climate change and global population boom, a Rutgers-led study finds.

Study suggests names for seafood products made from fish cells

Food companies, regulators, marketers, journalists and others should use the terms "cell-based" or "cell-cultured" when labeling and talking about seafood products made from the cells of fish or shellfish, according to a new Rutgers study in the Journal of Food Science.

Climate change likely to worsen conflicts between humans and wildlife

With wildfires spreading across the parched Western U.S., severe floods in Europe and in the coming decade a potential surge in coastal flooding, 2021 could be a pivotal year in how governments, societies and families view the threat of climate change.
