Birds around the world share a mysterious warning cry

Birds separated by vast geographic distances and millions of years of evolution share a remarkably similar learned vocal warning to identify parasitic enemies near their nests, an international team of researchers has found. The results represent the first known example of an animal vocalization that is learned from an innate response shared across multiple species. […]

How madagascar’s lizards became the island’s last hope for reforestation

After the island of Madagascar drifted away from India 88 million years ago, isolating it from all other landmasses, its flora and fauna evolved in seclusion. As these transformed into plants and animals completely unique to their island, Madagascar became a biodiversity hotspot unlike anywhere else on Earth. An important facet of this biodiversity is […]

Scientists uncover a mysterious Jurassic lizard with snake-like jaws

New research has uncovered a species of hook-toothed lizard that lived about 167 million years ago and has a confusing set of features seen in snakes and geckos — two very distant relatives. One of the oldest relatively complete fossil lizards yet discovered, the Jurassic specimen is described in a study, published on October 1 in […]

Iconic savanna mammals face genetic issues because of fences and roads

Whether or not by the use of Attenborough, Disney or Nationwide Geographic, the enduring scene is acquainted to many. The bottom trembles and clouds of mud swirl as monumental hordes of enormous animals thunder throughout the African savanna, cross rivers en masse and are picked off by lions, hyena and crocodiles. The annual migration of […]

Not so selfish after all: Viruses use freeloading genes as weapons

Curious bits of DNA tucked inside genomes across all kingdoms of life historically have been disregarded since they don’t seem to have a role to play in the competition for survival. Or so researchers thought. These DNA pieces came to be known as “selfish genetic elements” because they exist, as far as scientists could tell, […]

Modulation of antiviral response in fungi via RNA editing

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems. Fungal antiviral responses involve three known mechanisms: RNA interference (RNAi), a post-transcriptional mechanism that inhibits viral replication; transcriptional reprogramming; and recognition of self versus non-self, which limits cell-to-cell […]

Protein fragments ID two new ‘extremophile’ microbes–and could assist discover alien life

Completely tailored microorganisms stay in excessive environments from deep-sea trenches to mountaintops. Studying extra about how these extremophiles survive in hostile circumstances might inform scientists about life on Earth and potential life on different planets. In ACS’ Journal of Proteome Analysis, researchers element a technique for extra correct extremophile identification based mostly on protein fragments […]

Urban environments promote adaptation to multiple stressors

Animal populations from urban areas show significantly higher resilience to stressful environmental conditions. This was found by an international team of researchers led by Dr Elizabeta Briski from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany. The mussel and crustacean species studied were able to adapt to disturbed environments, making them more resistant to […]

Frozen in time: Transparent worms keep genes in sync for 20 million years

Two species of worms have retained remarkably similar patterns in the way they switch their genes on and off despite having split from a common ancestor 20 million years ago, a new study finds. The findings appear in the June 19 issue of the journal Science. “It was just remarkable, with this evolutionary distance, that […]

Heartier Heinz? How scientists are learning to help tomatoes beat the heat

By studying tomato varieties that produce fruit in exceptionally hot growing seasons, biologists at Brown University identified the growth cycle phase when tomatoes are most vulnerable to extreme heat, as well as the molecular mechanisms that make the plants more heat tolerant. The discovery, detailed in a study in Current Biology, could inform a key […]

How seaweed turned multicellular | ScienceDaily

A deep dive into macroalgae genetics has uncovered the genetic underpinnings that enabled macroalgae, or “seaweed,” to evolve multicellularity. Three lineages of macroalgae developed multicellularity independently and through very totally different time intervals by buying genes that allow cell adhesion, extracellular matrix formation, and cell differentiation, researchers report April 12 within the journal Molecular Plant.

AI unlocks the emotional language of animals

Can artificial intelligence help us understand what animals feel? A pioneering study suggests the answer is yes. Researchers from the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen have successfully trained a machine-learning model to distinguish between positive and negative emotions in seven different ungulate species, including cows, pigs, and wild boars. By analysing the […]

Flowers use adjustable ‘paint by numbers’ petal designs to attract pollinators

Flowers like hibiscus use an invisible blueprint established very early in petal formation that dictates the size of their bullseyes — a crucial pre-pattern that can significantly impact their ability to attract pollinating bees. The study, by researchers at the University of Cambridge’s Sainsbury Laboratory also found that bees prefer larger bullseyes over smaller ones […]

Injury dressings in first-aid kits provide a new technique to reveal shark species after bite incidents

Scientists have revealed that injury dressings found in first-aid kits can reliably be used to identify shark species involved in bite incidents by deploying medical gauze to gather DNA samples from aquatic equipment, such as surfboards. The Flinders University research shows that this new collection method can improve how shark-related incidents are investigated and can […]
