Researchers compare impact of different diets on health, animal welfare and the environment

Which diet is better: moderately reduce meat consumption and eat more fruit, vegetables and wholegrain products, as recommended by the German Nutrition Society? Follow Germany's southern neighbors' example and eat more fish and seafood? Or even switch completely to a vegan diet?

Dietary piperine gets into the milk of nursing mothers, finds study

Breast milk is the first food that babies consume. Various studies have suggested that the "taste experience" in early childhood influences eating behavior in adults. Unlike standardized infant formula, natural milk does not taste and smell the same every day. The differences are largely due to the maternal diet.

New framework evaluates the intersection of urbanization and agrobiodiversity

Widely accepted myths that urbanization negatively impacts food and land use biodiversity are incorrect, according to a team of researchers who developed a framework for evaluating this intersection.

Research identifies genes involved in the production of scorpion venom

A team of international researchers discovered an inventive, animal-friendly means for investigating venom genes.

Europeans have a growing appetite for plant-based foods, but Danes lag behind other countries

A major new survey on meat consumption in Europe reports that Europeans have a growing appetite for plant-based foods and that meat consumption has dipped. While this applies to Denmark as well, Danes lag behind the other countries in the survey.

Genetic analysis reveals the deep homology between fins and limbs

All vertebrates have the same basic body plan: head, spine, four appendages. Those appendages vary greatly in size, shape, and function, of course -; from fins to wings, arms, and legs -; but a new genetic analysis shows that genes that control development at the ends of the appendages share a deep evolutionary history.

Movement of plankton drives sweet spots of tropical marine biomass production

A new analysis suggests that the movement of plankton and plankton-eating fish play a central role in driving local spikes of extreme biological productivity in tropical coral reefs, creating "sweet spots" of abundant fish.

Genetic secrets of stress-tolerant mangrove trees revealed

Mangrove trees straddle the boundary between land and ocean, in harsh environments characterized by rapidly changing levels of salinity and low oxygen.

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.

Experts explain left–right asymmetry development in the embryo

Research on the development of symmetry in mice embryos is anticipated to provide a deeper understanding of the causes of disease.

21 Oct 2021

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.
