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...
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.
Change in bird coloration due to climate change
A study has explored whether climate change alters the plumage coloration of the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).
New global map of ant biodiversity reveals areas that may hide undiscovered species
Researchers have combined data from around the world with predictions from machine learning to create a high-resolution map of ant diversity, revealing areas that should be the focus of exploration and research.
Global spread of powdery mildew through migration and trade
The worldwide distribution of one of the most important cereal pathogens is the result of human activity. Researchers have traced the history and spread of wheat powdery mildew along wheat trade routes and found that mixing of genetic ancestries of related powdery mildew species played a central role in the...
Where coral reefs may be buffered against warming oceans
As warming ocean temperatures threaten the existence of coral reefs, scientists have successfully used an extremely high-resolution computer simulation of ocean circulation to identify possible 'thermal refugia' where these biodiverse ecosystems are more likely to survive.
Volcanic super eruptions are millions of years in the making — followed by swift surge
Researchers have discovered that super-eruptions occur when huge accumulations of magma deep in the Earth's crust, formed over millions of years, move rapidly to the surface disrupting pre-existing rock.
