Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and the University of Oulu have developed a new computational method for exploring DNA sequence patterns. The method, called KMAP, enables intuitive visualization of short DNA sequences

A good wildlife management plan must include information on their migratory processes if the conservation of species, particularly endangered species, is to be improved. In the marine environment, for example, regulating fishing activity in certain winter

Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) have discovered that dogs with meningiomas—the most common type of brain tumor in dogs—live longer if they receive radiation therapy rather than surgery.

Although many conservationists believe biodiversity is intrinsically valuable, the protection of biodiversity has also been argued for on the basis that diversity makes ecosystems healthier and more stable. But are highly diverse ecosystems more stable an

Fusobacteria, which are part of the oral microbiome, are suspected of playing a role in cancer progression. Scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) are working on innovative strategies to inhibit the spread of these b

An international team of researchers has developed BiaPy, an open-code artificial intelligence platform that facilitates the analysis of biomedical images using deep learning techniques. The work has been published in Nature Methods.

A new study published in Scientific Reports questions the functionality of using the Augmentative Interspecies Communication (AIC) button with dogs. This tool has captivated social media and fueled a global citizen science movement.

Thousands of hectares of Chernobyl-affected farmland, long deemed too dangerous for cultivation in northern Ukraine can safely return to production, according to new research.

A team of computer scientists, AI specialists and veterinary medicine researchers in the U.S. and the U.K., working with the dog training center, The Seeing Eye, Inc., has found that an AI model was better than humans at assessing puppies for characterist

Scientists at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) found that the fringe-lipped bat, known to eavesdrop on frog and toad mating calls to find its prey, learns to distinguish between palatable and unpalatable frogs and toads through experienc

Imagine a crocodile built like a greyhound—that's a sebecid. Standing tall, with some species reaching 20 feet in length, they dominated South American landscapes after the extinction of dinosaurs until about 11 million years ago. Or at least, that's wh

A new study comparing wild and zoo-housed Sumatran orangutans reveals that life in a zoo significantly alters how orangutans interact with their environment.
