Big Brains and Big Ranges Might Not Save Birds from Climate Change
Global bird sightings from citizen scientists and a view into “climate niches” reveal unexpected risks for some birds.
Less Intensive Works Best for Agricultural Soil
The less intensively you manage the soil, the better the soil can function.
Climate Change May Lead to Rising Arsenic Levels in Paddy Rice, Increasing Health Risks
A new study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health reveals that climate change may significantly impact arsenic levels in paddy rice, a staple food for millions across Asia.
Flower Strips Could Save Apple Farmers Pest Control Costs
Planting wildflowers in apple orchards could save farmers up to £3,000 per hectare a year, according to a new study.
Blackberries With No Thorns? UF Scientist Assembles Genome of a Blackberry in Major Step to Breeding Better Fruit
Thornless, disease-resistant, and tastier blackberries could be on the horizon — thanks to new genetic research from the University of Florida.
Less intensive farming works best for agricultural soil
The less intensively you manage the soil, the better the soil can function. Such as not plowing as often or using more grass-clover mixtures as cover crops. Surprisingly, it applies to both conventional and organic farming.
Animal energy usage made visible through video
Strong methods do exist for measuring animal movement in the context of energy expenditure, but these are limited by the physical size of the equipment used. Now, in a paper published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, researchers from the Marine Biophysics Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and...
Single-dose baloxavir reduces household influenza transmission
A landmark study reveals that a single oral dose of baloxavir marboxil (baloxavir) significantly reduces the transmission of influenza within households, marking a major advancement in influenza management. The trial provides robust evidence that an antiviral treatment can curb the spread of influenza to close contacts.
Affordable hydrogen fuel production using surface reconstruction strategy
Researchers found a strategy to create catalysts that make the production of hydrogen for clean fuel more efficient and affordable.
