Examining the neurotoxin from a black widow
Phobias are often irrational by nature—especially in the case of spiders, as these creatures are usually more afraid of humans than vice-versa. But: some species are a force to be reckoned with—for example, the Latrodectus spider, more commonly k.....»»
Study reveals how bacterial pathogen adapts to nutritional stress
In order to cause disease, the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus must adapt to the changing host environment. Many of these adaptations are mediated through two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) that coordinate gene expression in respon.....»»
Forests offer minimal protection against major flood events
New research examining whether forests can mitigate flood risk suggests they may offer less protection against major events than had been hoped......»»
Nuclear deformation research could advance artificial tissue engineering
Biomedical Engineering Professor Corey Neu and Ph. D. student Benjamin Seelbinder of the University of Colorado at Boulder wanted to answer two fundamental questions. How do cells adapt to their environment and how does a mechanical environment influ.....»»
A package of policies can help smallholder farmers adapt to a changing climate
In the grasslands of Nepal's Chitwan Valley, local farmers rely on the production of rice and other grains to generate household income. But their livelihoods are under threat, as Nepal is experiencing the effects of climate change at a much faster r.....»»
Understanding how to build resilient fisheries
A new decision-making framework designed by an international team of fisheries researchers can help fisheries bolster their ability to adapt to a warming world. The tool, said marine ecologist Jacob Eurich at UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ec.....»»
Male animals are subject to stronger evolutionary pressures than females
