Precision technology, machine learning lead to early diagnosis of calf pneumonia
Monitoring dairy calves with precision technologies based on the 'internet of things,' or IoT, leads to the earlier diagnosis of calf-killing bovine respiratory disease, according to a new study. The novel approach -- a result of crosscutting -- will offer dairy producers an opportunity to improve the economies of their...
Colonization influences worldwide distribution of plant specimens
Plant diversity in nature is generally highest in tropical regions around the equator, with decreasing diversity closer to the poles. Researchers now show that the plant specimens housed in herbaria in Europe and North America are more comprehensive and diverse than the collections housed in the countries with more natural...
Multiple uses of tropical mosaic landscapes
Many landscapes in the tropics consist of a mosaic of different types of land use. How people make use of these different ecosystems, with their particular plant communities, was unclear until now. Researchers, many of them from Madagascar, have now investigated this. When considering biodiversity, forests often get the most...
Timing of Turkey Nesting May Not Shift With Changing Climate
A new study suggests eastern wild turkeys in five southern U.S. states are unlikely to make meaningful changes in the timing of when they begin nesting, even under significant future climate change.
Powerful NASA-ISRO Earth Observing Satellite Coming Together in India
Built on opposite sides of the planet, the NISAR satellite will deepen understanding of climate change, deforestation, glacier melt, volcanoes, earthquakes, and more.
NASA Finds June 2023 Hottest on Record
June 2023 was the hottest June on record according to NASA’s global temperature analysis.
Researchers’ sweeping discovery shows how kidney cells self-renew
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown 'housekeeping' process in kidney cells that ejects unwanted content, resulting in cells that rejuvenate themselves and remain functioning and healthy. The self-renewal process, which is fundamentally different from how other bodily tissues are thought to regenerate, helps explain how, barring injury or disease, the...
Small-winged and lighter colored butterflies likely to be at greatest threat from climate change
Small-winged and lighter colored butterflies likely to be at greatest threat from climate change. The family, wing length and wing colour of tropical butterflies all influence their ability to withstand rising temperatures, say ecologists. The researchers believe this could help identify species whose survival is under threat from climate change.
Fear is in the eye of the beholder
Averting our eyes from things that scare us may be due to a specific cluster of neurons in a visual region of the brain, according to new research. Researchers found that in fruit fly brains, these neurons release a chemical called tachykinin which appears to control the fly's movement to...
