Life Sciences Discovering the traits of extinct birds Looking to inform the conservation of critically endangered bird species, University of Utah biologists completed an analysis identifying traits that correlate with all 216 bird extinctions since 1500. Species most likely to go extinct sooner were endemic to islands, lacked the ability to fly, had larger bodies and sharply angled wings, and occupied ecologically specific […] Written by Admin November 28, 2024November 28, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Growing safer spuds: Removing toxins from potatoes Scientists have discovered a way to remove toxic compounds from potatoes, making them safer to eat and easier to store. The breakthrough could cut food waste and enhance crop farming in space and other extreme environments. Potato plants naturally produce chemicals that protect them from insects. The chemicals, called steroidal glycoalkaloids, or SGAs, are found […] Written by Admin December 24, 2024December 24, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
