River Erosion Can Shape Fish Evolution, Study Suggests
If we could rewind the tape of species evolution around the world and play it forward over hundreds of millions of years to the present day, we would see biodiversity clustering around regions of tectonic turmoil.
New Study Explores How Exposure to Mix of Toxic Metals Impacts Developing Kidneys
Chronic kidney disease is a growing problem worldwide and in the aging U.S. population.
Arctic ground squirrels changing hibernation patterns
New research analyzes more than 25 years of climate and biological data. The findings include shorter hibernation periods in arctic ground squirrels, as well as differences between male and female hibernation periods.
Research offers clues for potential widespread HIV cure in people
New animal research is helping explain why at least five people have become HIV-free after receiving a stem cell transplant, and may bring scientists closer to developing what they hope will be a widespread cure for the virus that causes AIDS. A new study describes how two nonhuman primates were...
River erosion can shape fish evolution
A new study of the freshwater greenfin darter fish suggests river erosion can be a driver of biodiversity in tectonically inactive regions.
