动物植物栏目报道动植物科学研究与生物多样性保护动态，展现生命世界的科学之美。
动物植物"Who are we and where do we come from?" This quintessential question has intrigued humanity for millennia. Currently, the "Out-of-Africa (OOA) theory" is prevailingly accepted regarding the origin of modern humans, as a line of evidenc
阅读全文动物植物The identification of drug-target Interactions (DTIs) represents a pivotal link in the process of drug development and design. It plays a crucial role in narrowing the screening range of candidate drug molecules, thereby facilitating the reuse of drug, re
阅读全文动物植物Logically speaking, you would think that animals who appeared to be the same—even if they were found in different parts of the world—would belong to the same species, and that they would share the same genome. However, our recent study has found that this
阅读全文动物植物An international team of researchers has discovered a new method of imaging free-swimming whale sharks using underwater ultrasound.
阅读全文动物植物Mangroves are crucial for biodiversity, climate change mitigation, and coastal protection but face threats from climate change and human activities. Traditional monitoring methods fall short in accurately capturing their complex features.
阅读全文动物植物Have you ever wondered what secrets the Amazon Basin holds beneath its murky waters? I'm Flavio Gallo Cardozo, a biologist from Bolivia, and I'm excited to share with you the journey of discovering a new piranha species, Serrasalmus magallanesi, from th
阅读全文动物植物Cornell researchers have tested an ecological tool in the fight to control weeds in silage soybean and corn fields: adding carbon to soil in the form of sawdust and rye hay.
阅读全文动物植物Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a node known as the transcription bubble, so that one expo
阅读全文动物植物A team of researchers has established a ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based method that drives cells in the body to produce therapeutic proteins and secrete them into the bloodstream. The approach could potentially extend the lifespan of drugs in the body, reduc
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at ELTE Department of Ethology in Budapest compared how companion dogs and companion miniature pigs from all over the world reacted to human emotional vocalizations. They found that both dogs and pigs differentiated between human crying (a neg
阅读全文动物植物Blue and great tits recall what they have eaten in the past, where they found the food and when they found it, a new study shows. In the first experiment of its kind to involve wild animals, blue and great tits demonstrated 'episodic-like' memory to cop
阅读全文动物植物Climate change is likely to drive tree species towards colder and wetter regions of their geographical distribution, a new study has shown.
