Researchers are studying the way warming water temperatures will impact the Great Lakes region.
Scientists engineer probiotic to prevent infection of large intestine
Scientists have created a probiotic to restore bile salt metabolism found in the gastrointestinal tract, to counter the onset and effects of Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI).
Vegans who lift weights may have stronger bones than other people on a plant-based diet
People on a plant-based diet who do strength training as opposed to other forms of exercise such as biking or swimming may have stronger bones than other people on a vegan diet, according to new research.
Monoclonal antibody prevents malaria in US adults: Study
One injection of a candidate monoclonal antibody (mAb) known as L9LS was found to be safe and highly protective in U.S. adults exposed to the malaria parasite, according to new results. Additional clinical trials evaluating if L9LS can prevent malaria over six to 12 months against seasonal and perennial transmission...
New method enables efficient sample preparation for single-cell proteomics
Single-cell proteomics provides information about a cell at its protein level, which can prove useful for anticancer drug resistance and cell differentiation research. However, current proteomics methods are not versatile and often lead to high sample losses. To overcome this issue, researchers have now developed a new sample preparation method...
Highest coral cover in central, northern Reef in 36 years
The northern and central Great Barrier Reef have recorded their highest amount of coral cover since the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) began monitoring 36 years ago. However, average coral cover in the southern region decreased due to ongoing crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks. While the Reef experienced its fourth major...
Research Suggests That Change in Bird Colouration Is Due to Climate Change
A study (Long-Term Decrease in Coloration: A Consequence of Climate Change?), published by The American Naturalist and in which the Faculty of Science and Technology researcher David López-Idiáquez has participated, explored whether climate change alters the plumage colouration of the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).
New Study Finds Global Forest Area per Capita Has Decreased by Over 60%
Over the past 60 years, the global forest area has declined by 81.7 million hectares, a loss that contributed to the more than 60% decline in global forest area per capita.
Scientists Envisage Climate Change Will Severely Impact Bird Communities by 2080
Leading ecologists from our Department of Biosciences and Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Germany have predicted in their latest research that bird communities will change worldwide in 2080 due to climate change, largely as result of shifting their ranges.
New technology can help combat climate crisis
Scientists have created a novel technology that can help to tackle climate change and address the global energy crisis.
