Nature often puts on incredible displays. A recent example caught on camera shows thousands of bumblebee catfish (Rhyacoglanis paranensis) climbing waterfalls in southern Brazil. This is the first time the species has been ...
A recent study by Dr. Martin Ebert in Zitelliana described two new species from the poorly known genus Thrissops. Thrissops ettlingensis sp. nov. was recently discovered in the lower marine Tithonian Plattenkalk of Ettling, ...
A new study published in Nature reveals how olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) achieve extraordinary precision in selecting which genes to express.
A recent study published in Papers in Palaeontology describes the discovery and identification of a new species of pinheirodontid multituberculate based on the preserved hemimandible from the Upper Jurassic (Tithonian) Freixial ...
The ability to quickly recognize sounds, particularly the vocalizations made by other animals, is known to contribute to the survival of a wide range of species. This ability is supported by a process known as categorical ...
British physician and microbiologist Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin nearly 100 years ago, was the first to warn of the dangers of antibiotic resistance.
Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function.
Mammoth Biosciences researchers have developed NanoCas, an ultracompact CRISPR nuclease, demonstrating its ability to perform gene editing in non-liver tissues, including skeletal muscle, using a single adeno-associated virus ...
Rice is a food staple for billions of people worldwide, with demand doubling over the past 50 years, and is predominantly grown in Asia before being exported globally. This crop is sensitive to weather conditions and, as ...
