| Researchers find concerns for animals tied to same habitats Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:36 PM PST While site fidelity may be beneficial for animals when environmental conditions don't change very fast, those benefits may not be realized in the ever-changing world dominated by humans, researchers have found through a review of scientific literature. |
| Watering holes bring together wildlife, and their parasites Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:36 PM PST The sun rises on the savannas of central Kenya. Grasses sway in the wind as hoof-steps fall on the dusty ground. A menagerie of Africa's iconic wildlife congregates around a watering hole to quench their thirst during the region's dry season. |
| New model examines the effects of toxicants on populations in polluted rivers Posted: 11 Jan 2022 12:36 PM PST A new mathematical model describes the interactions between a population and a toxicant in a river environment, enabling researchers to study how the way in which a pollutant moves through a river affects the wellbeing and distribution of the river's inhabitants. |
| Tasmanian devils have just broken the laws of scavenging – and scientists are puzzled Posted: 11 Jan 2022 08:20 AM PST Scavengers are supposed to have generalist diets and eat whatever they can find. But a new study shows Australia's Tasmanian devils have their own specific tastes and preferences -- in other words, they're picky eaters. |
| Posted: 11 Jan 2022 08:19 AM PST Arctic coasts are characterized by sea ice, permafrost and ground ice. This makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which is already accelerating rapid coastal erosion. |
| Plants rely on the CLASSY gene family to diversify their epigenomes Posted: 11 Jan 2022 06:13 AM PST A team has shown that the CLASSY gene family regulates which parts of the genome are turned off in a tissue-specific manner. The work identifies the CLSY genes as major factors underlying epigenetic diversity in plant tissues. This research has broad implications for both agriculture and medicine. |
| Researchers use artificial intelligence to guide the search for the next SARS-like virus Posted: 10 Jan 2022 03:49 PM PST Scientists have demonstrated the power of artificial intelligence to predict which viruses -- like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that led to the COVID-19 pandemic -- could infect humans, which animals host them, and where they could emerge. |
