Rainbow reefs revealed: The secret 112-million-year saga of glowing fish

New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History sheds light on the ancient origins of biofluorescence in fishes and the range of brilliant colors involved in this biological phenomenon. Detailed in two complementary studies recently published in Nature Communications and PLOS One, the findings suggest that biofluorescence dates back at least […]

Scientists find immune molecule that supercharges plant growth

Within the animal kingdom, a naturally produced molecule known as itaconate serves a prominent role in the immune system as a defensive agent against viruses and inflammation. Itaconate is classified as a metabolite, a natural compound that arises when organisms convert food into energy. While itaconate is well known in animals, its presence and functions […]

Fruit-eating mastodons? Ancient fossils confirm a long-lost ecological alliance

Ten thousand years ago, mastodons vanished from South America. With them, an ecologically vital function also disappeared: the dispersal of seeds from large-fruited plants. A new study led by the University of O’Higgins, Chile, with key contributions from IPHES-CERCA, demonstrates for the first time — based on direct fossil evidence — that these extinct elephant […]

Visualizing nuclear pore complex plasticity with pan-expansion microscopy

The exploration of cell-type and environmentally responsive nuclear pore complex (NPC) plasticity requires new, accessible tools. Using pan-expansion microscopy (pan-ExM), NPCs were identified by machine learning–facilitated segmentation. They exhibited a large range of diameters with a bias for dilated NPCs at the basal nuclear surface in clusters suggestive of local islands of nuclear envelope tension. […]

Africa’s pangolin crisis: The delicacy that’s driving a species to the brink

The vast majority of pangolin hunting in African forest landscapes is done for meat consumed by people in the region, rather than for scales shipped to East Asia, a new study led by the University of Cambridge suggests. Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked wild mammal in the world. A solitary, insect-eating animal about the […]
