Giant croclike carnivore fossils found in the Caribbean

Imagine a crocodile built like a greyhound — that’s a sebecid. Standing tall, with some species reaching 20 feet in length, they dominated South American landscapes after the extinction of dinosaurs until about 11 million years ago. Or at least, that’s what paleontologists thought, until they began finding strange, fossilized teeth in the Caribbean. “The […]

The Haemostatic Profile in COVID-19 Patients

This study’s goal was to identify the haemostatic profile of COVID-19 patients and their relationships to disease severity and death rates. 163 COVID-19 patients were enrolled in the research, and their diagnoses were made using PCR, common symptoms, and radiological findings (CT). Patients that were hospitalized to Ali Boushaba Public Hospitalier Khenchela’s Infectology Service in […]

Study on the reproducibility of behavioral experiments with insects now published

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioural experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this context. If an experiment is repeated under similar conditions, the results should be the same. In reality, the situation is often different — scientists speak of a […]

Exploring the Understanding of the Health Effects of…

Self-medication is an increasing global public health issue that affects both low and middle-income countries and developed nations. The residents of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, face a serious malaria problem and have limited access to healthcare. Consequently, many of them resort to self-medication to treat the disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the […]

Animal energy usage made visible through video

Energy scarcity is a central driver of animal behavior and evolution. The amazing diversity of life on this planet is a testament to the plethora of novel biological solutions to the problem of securing and maintaining energy. However, despite being so central to biology, it remains difficult to quantify, and thereby empirically analyze, energy consumption. […]

Floristic and Ecological Study of Erica arborea L. in the…

This work focuses on clusters in Erica arborea L in western Algeria. To understand the floristic diversity of groups in Erica arborea. A floristic analysis was carried out based on floristic surveys on three regions in western Algeria according to an aridity gradient. This allowed us initially to count 100 species belonging to 75 genera […]

One gene defines the many patterns of snake skin

In many animals, skin colouration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In the corn snake, some morphs display red, yellow, or pink blotches, and their dorsal spots can merge or turn into stripes. But which genetic and cellular mechanisms determine these colourful patterns? A team from the University of […]

Floristic Diversity of Zygophyllum album Communities…

Zygophyllum album L. (Zygophyllaceae) is a species of arid and hyperarid zones that has been the subject of many biochemical, pharmaceutical, and medicinal studies, but this species is largely unknown ecologically. This work aims to study the diversity and describe the characteristics of the functional traits of plant species of Zygophyllum album communities associated with […]

The eukaryotic cell emerged as an evolutionary algorithmic phase transition

An international collaboration between four senior scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published groundbreaking research in the journal PNAS, shedding light on the most significant increase in complexity in the history of life’s evolution on Earth: the origin of the eukaryotic cell. While the endosymbiotic theory is widely accepted, the billions of years […]

In silico Structural and Functional Characterization of an…

Actinoalloteichus hoggarensis is a rare bacterial species that was isolated from the Algerian Saharan desert and is known for producing biologically active compounds. Despite its potential, little is understood about the enzymes it produces, including endoglucanases. These cellulase enzymes break down cellulose, the primary structural component of plant cell walls that provides strength and rigidity. […]
