Researchers have demonstrated a cost-effective method for estimating population size using a combination of freely available community science data and small numbers of structured surveys. The study, published in Scientific Reports, highlights the importa

For almost two years, Robert Brewin collected data from the bow of a superyacht as it sailed pristine waters from the Caribbean Sea to the Antarctic Ocean.

Researchers have created tiny, vehiclelike structures that can be maneuvered by microscopic algae. The algae are caught in baskets attached to the micromachines, which have been carefully designed to allow them enough room to continue swimming.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University relied on principles of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, to develop an original and innovative solution for a problem troubling researchers worldwide: positioning sensors inside 3D-bioprinted tissue models. In

In a study published in iScience, researchers at Queen Mary University of London have taken major steps in better understanding some key questions about learning and intelligence. Led by Dr. Elisabetta Versace, the team used chicks to try and answer some

A series of experiments with highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (HPAI H5N1) viruses circulating in infected U.S. dairy cattle found that viruses derived from lactating dairy cattle induced severe disease in mice and ferrets when administered via intra

Discovered in the early 1840s, Saurodesmus robertsoni is an enigmatic fossil that has puzzled scientists for over two centuries. A recent study by Dr. Tomasz Szczygielski and his team of international researchers has finally shed light on this elusive spe

New research predicts significant shifts in marine fish communities in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans as a result of climate warming.

A new technique to monitor contamination in bioethanol production could increase revenue by more than $1.6 billion USD and reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tons.

An international team of researchers of the Cluster of Excellence "Balance of the Microverse" at the University of Jena has investigated the mechanism that makes some types of bacteria reflect light without using pigments. The researchers were i

Dingoes arrived in Australia more than 3,000 years ago. Now a new study has compared DNA from fossilized dingo remains dating back 2,746 years with DNA from modern dingoes. The work finds that K'gari dingoes have no domestic dog ancestry—they are pure di

In the campaign to restore Chesapeake Bay, oyster sanctuaries rank among the most hotly contested strategies. But new research suggests these no-harvest areas are working, and not only for the oysters.
