Psychologist and behavior change expert Professor Thomas Webb and a team of researchers has developed a health pack to help owners manage their dogs' weight. The study is published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science.

The most vulnerable phase of a plant's life is the short time period that follows germination. During this phase, the newly emerged seedling relies on the maternal parent to provision the food that is required for initial growth. A recent study from the

Snails have a reputation for being slow, with poor eyes that can barely see the world around them.

Researchers are using new technologies, including AI, as well as contributions from citizen scientists, to improve how we monitor and protect increasingly threatened habitats and species across Europe.

Desert lizards are facing a 'cost-of-living' squeeze as global temperatures continue to rise, a new study finds. For a lizard, the 'cost-of-living' is tightly linked to its body temperature, which dictates both how much food it needs and whether it ca

How can chimpanzees, so closely related to humans, have almost no sense of rhythm? Behavioral biologist Michelle Spierings and two students demonstrated that chimps can actually drum and move rhythmically—each following their own unique beat.

Almost all living things breathe oxygen to eliminate the excess electrons produced when nutrients are converted into energy. However, most microbes that mitigate pollution and climate change don't have access to oxygen. Instead, these bacteria—buried und

A new technology is poised to transform the discovery of microbial species and enzymes with specific in situ metabolic functions. The technology, FISH-scRACS-seq (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization-guided Single-Cell Raman-activated Sorting and Sequencing

With more than 50,000 described species, the leaf beetle family is distributed worldwide and represents about a quarter of the species diversity of all herbivores. Leaf beetles can be found to feed on almost all plant groups. They live in the rhizosphere,

They are two of Florida's most iconic waterbirds, who look and behave similarly, but it turns out the anhinga and the double-crested cormorant are quite different, new research from the University of Miami indicates.

The initial radiation of vascular land plants, evidenced by increases in both diversity and morphological disparity during the Silurian and Devonian periods, is considered plant terrestrialization, which can be seen as the terrestrial equivalent of the Ca

A research team at POSTECH has developed a technology that surpasses the constraints of traditional imaging methods, providing stable and highly accurate cell visualization. Their findings are published in Nature Communications.
