The gut 'microbiomes' of long-dead animals could give researchers surprising insights into how climate change and other factors have shaped the Rocky Mountains and other ecosystems over decades.
Climate Protection: CO2 Turned Into Methanol
TU Wien (Vienna) has developed a chemical process that uses special catalysts to turn climate-damaging carbon dioxide into valuable methanol.
HIGP-Developed Biofinder Advances Detection of Extraterrestrial Life
An innovative scientific instrument may be a game changer in the search for signs of extraterrestrial life.
Climate Change Is Making Plants More Vulnerable to Disease. New Research Could Help Them Fight Back
To keep food on the table in a warming world, researchers are bolstering plant immunity against the heat.
Underground carnivore: the first species of pitcher plant to dine on subterranean prey
A remarkable new species of carnivorous plant was discovered in a remote part of Borneo. It is the first pitcher plant known to produce functional underground traps, and the first for which capture of subterranean prey has been observed. While the traps themselves are often a rich maroon colour, they...
Music is key to converting consumers’ good intentions to actual purchases in ethical and sustainable markets
Companies selling ethical and sustainable products should use up-tempo major mode music in their marketing to help well-meaning consumers convert their good intentions into actual purchases, new research shows.
Changes in oceanographic fronts affect the gene flow among marine crab populations
In the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the intensity and location of the oceanographic fronts that limit the gene connectivity among populations of marine crabs vary over time. These dynamic changes alter the gene structure of the populations of marine crabs of commercial and gastronomic interest.
Solar Farms of the Future – Lancaster Research Underpins New Biodiversity Guidance
Lancaster University researchers have helped to develop a new standard approach to assess how farms affect biodiversity.
Study Shows Chemical’s Extent in Fairbanks Winter Air
A chemical compound discovered in 2019 in Fairbanks’ wintertime air accounts for a significant portion of the community’s fine particulate pollution, according to new research that seeks to better understand the causes and makeup of the dirty air.
Chemicals in Fairbanks winter air
A chemical compound discovered in 2019 in Fairbanks' wintertime air accounts for a significant portion of the community's fine particulate pollution, according to new research that seeks to better understand the causes and makeup of the dirty air. The finding is the first measurement of how much hydroxymethanesulfonate, or HMS, is in...
