Life Sciences Extreme weather is wiping out amphibians—Here’s where it’s worst The fire salamander native to Europe is one of many species that depend on sufficient moisture. Credit: Daniel Rosengren/Frankfurt Zoological Society Habitat loss, diseases, pollution, and climate change are already massively affecting amphibians – frogs, salamanders, and the caecilians native to tropical regions. The new study from the Institute for Ecology, Evolution and Diversity shows […] Written by Admin June 7, 2025June 7, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Long shot science leads to revised age for land-animal ancestor In 1984, an amateur paleontologist in Scotland found a remarkable specimen: a nearly complete fossil of what looked to be a lizard or salamander. Rather small in size at 20 centimeters, it would turn out to be a crucial piece in the puzzle of animal evolution. This creature, called Westlothiana lizziae, is one of the […] Written by Admin June 6, 2025June 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biology Taperin bundles F-actin at stereocilia pivot points enabling optimal lifelong mechanosensitivity Stereocilia are rod-like mechanosensory projections consisting of unidirectionally oriented actin filaments that extend into the inner ear hair cell cytoskeleton, forming dense rootlets. Taperin (TPRN) localizes to the narrowed-down base of stereocilia, where they pivot in response to sound and gravity. We show that TPRN–deficient mice have progressive deafness characterized by gradual asynchronous retraction and […] Written by Admin June 6, 2025June 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science Advancing Equity Through Clean Energy Policy – State of the Planet Nicholas Britton’s passion for energy policy began at Dartmouth College, where he majored in environmental studies and helped support the campus’s energy transition. Through fieldwork and research, from New Hampshire to Southern Africa to Washington, D.C., Britton developed a focus on equitable energy access as a means to serve both environmental and social goals. Now […] Written by Guest June 6, 2025June 6, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Sciences Two plant species invent the same chemically complex and medically interesting substance The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of ipecacuanha alkaloids shows how two distantly related plant species could develop the same substance independently. Plants produce an enormous abundance of natural products. Many plant natural products are ancestry-specific and occur only in certain plant families, sometimes only in a single species. Interestingly, however, the same substances can […] Written by Admin June 5, 2025June 5, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
