In the largest study of its kind to date, a team of international researchers has investigated how pharmaceutical pollution affects the behavior and migration of Atlantic salmon. The study, "Pharmaceutical pollution influences river-to-sea migration

A study published in Frontiers in Bee Science has shown that physical distance plays a leading role in protecting bumblebees against a flying insect parasite, the bumblebee wax moth Aphomia sociella. The researchers discovered that the source of a potenti

In a study published in Science, a research team led by Prof. Ye Jian from the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified the first mechanism of citrus resistance to citrus greening disease, or huanglongbing (HLB).

Local climate can be used to predict the venom characteristics of a deadly snake that is widespread in India, helping clinicians to provide targeted therapies for snake bite victims, according to a study published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases by Ka

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research have developed an innovative system called MetaFlowTrain that allows the study of metabolic exchange and interactions within microbial communities under different environmental conditions.

Researchers had been studying the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for decades without seeing evidence of an active virus within it—until a pair of Virginia Tech researchers waded into the conversation.

Hantavirus recently made news headlines as the cause of death for Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, but little is commonly known about it other than its connection to rodents.

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilizing cell structure to catalyzing chemical reactions, proteins have many functions. Their diversity is furth

Bioinformaticians from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the university in Linköping (Sweden) have established that the genes in bacterial genomes are arranged in a meaningful order. In the journal Science, they explain that the genes are arr

The four billion tons of marine organisms that global fisheries extracted from the ocean between 1960 and 2018 resulted in the depletion of over 560 million tons of essential nutrients vital to ecosystem health, new research has found.

A research group led by Nagoya University in Japan has discovered a new tissue in plants that is essential for seed formation. Their discovery represents the first new plant tissue discovered in 160 years. Their findings open a new field for research and

A research team led by Prof. Wang Guanghua from the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has uncovered how microbial adaptive evolution and regulatory strategies respond to soil carbon heterogeneity in
