The biological advantages of sperm swimming in groups

Sperm actually swim better together when they are swimming against the current. Contrary to common belief, spermatozoa frequently cooperate to go through the female reproductive system in a variety of mammalian species, contradicting the notion that the fastest and fittest male reproductive cell wins the fertilization race.

Assessing the potential of improving circularity in the food system

Aalto University research published in Nature Food demonstrates how changes in livestock and fish feeding can maintain productivity while increasing food availability for people.

A new holographic microscope developed to observe neural networks in brain

Scientists headed by Associate Director Wonshik Choi of the Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics in the Institute for Basic Science, Professor Kim Moonseok of The Catholic University of Korea, and Professor Myunghwan Choi of Seoul National University designed a new kind of holographic microscope.

Universal chemical fingerprints can help fight seafood fraud and halt unsustainable fishing

Universal chemical fingerprints that can trace the geographic origins of many marine species have been developed by Australian scientists to help combat seafood fraud and stop illegal and unsustainable fishing.

Light-sensitive molecule can interpret moonlight to synchronize the reproductive cycles of marine life

How animals are able to interpret natural light sources to adjust their physiology and behaviour is poorly understood.

New insight into how immune systems of stickleback fish respond to tapeworm parasite

Lugging around a tapeworm that's one third your body weight can be a real drag. So threespine stickleback fish evolved resistance to tapeworms-;but resistance has costs of its own, a team of researchers show in Science on 8 September.

Banp indispensable for cell-cycle progression and cell survival

Zebrafish mutants were found by a team of researchers about 15 years ago. These zebrafish’s eyes did not mature properly, which explains why they are much smaller than the eyes of zebrafish found in the wild.

Study reveals strong links between aquatic biodiversity and wetland multifunctionality

A new study analyses human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in 72 lakes distributed across four large neotropical wetlands of Brazil – Amazon, Araguaia, Pantanal and Paraná.

Researchers receive $2.3 million NSF grant to unravel oceanographic mystery

West of St. Petersburg in the Gulf of Mexico is an area called the West Florida Shelf. It's a marine desert, cut off from many of the elements that are essential for life.

Climate change will affect 12 important marine species on North American West Coast, research warns

For the generations who grew up watching Finding Nemo, it might not come as a surprise that the North American West Coast has its own version of the underwater ocean highway – the California Current marine ecosystem.

Study analyzes the effects of translocated species on native fish

Exotic fish are a threat to river ecosystems, but what happens when invasive species are native to a territory and have been introduced into waters that are not their original territory?

Enriching lakes with bacteria could be a natural way to remove plastic pollution

A study of 29 European lakes has found that some naturally-occurring lake bacteria grow faster and more efficiently on the remains of plastic bags than on natural matter like leaves and twigs.

Research provides better understanding of the Prussian carp's peculiar, efficient reproductive strategy

The Prussian carp is considered one of the most successful invasive fish species in Europe. Its ability to reproduce asexually gives it a major advantage over competing fish.
