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Urban agriculture has the potential to improve food security through local, efficient, and sustainable food production. Examples of urban food systems include hydroponics, where plants grow in a nutrient solution without soil, and aquaponics, which combin
阅读全文动物植物Forty million years before the first dinosaurs evolved, a ferocious predator lurked in swampy waters. Its skull alone was over two feet long. It lay in wait, its jaws open wide, preparing to clamp down its interlocking jaws on any prey unwise enough to sw
阅读全文动物植物Co-developed by Umeå university, a method to measure the decay of plant material with the help of simple tea bags has quickly become the standard in scientific research as well as a favorite teaching activity throughout the world.
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at Rice University are making strides in understanding how chromosome structures change throughout the cell's life cycle. Their study on motorized processes that actively influence the organization of chromosomes appears in the Proceedings of
阅读全文动物植物A new study led by Rice University's Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
阅读全文动物植物A study at Umeå University, Sweden, provides new clues in the understanding of how antibiotic resistance spreads. The study shows how an enzyme breaks down the bacteria's protective outer layer, the cell wall, and thus facilitates the transfer of genes f
阅读全文动物植物Researchers at The University of Queensland have for the first time captured images and video in real time of early embryonic development to understand more about congenital birth defects.
阅读全文动物植物To prevent proteins from being damaged during cellular stress, they are concentrated in so-called stress granules. Scientists from the department of Cellular Biochemistry at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry have now been able to show for the first
阅读全文动物植物Over the past 20 years, synthetic biologists have been trying to build biological circuits in living cells to enact specific behaviors such as Boolean logic gates, signal filters, oscillators, state machines, sensors, and genetic controllers. The circuits
阅读全文动物植物Continuous cropping obstacles (CCOs) refer to the phenomenon encountered when the same crop or its related species are continuously planted on the same plot, and even under normal management conditions, the yield and quality of products are still reduced,
阅读全文动物植物The UPV/EHU researcher Ildefonso Martínez de la Fuente has led an exhaustive analysis of the locomotion trajectories of 700 individual cells using advanced scientific techniques to demonstrate that their movements depend on a joint, self-organized action
阅读全文动物植物It is known that people have been bringing alien bird species onto islands for thousands of years, but how this has shaped the diversity of those species has just been brought to light by a study published in the journal Ecology Letters.
