Four new caladium cultivars for containers and landscapes
Caladiums are ornamental aroids highly valued for their attractive foliage that rivals the display of many flowers. Aroid is a common name for a large species of plants in the Araceae family. This family of plants is also often called the Philodendro.....»»
Local bacteria help native seeds take root in arid landscapes
Dryland ecosystems cover about 40% of land on earth and support more than 2 billion people, and, once degraded—through overgrazing or inadequate irrigation—they are difficult to restore. One technique for restoring ecosystems with native plants ".....»»
Sharpest Earth-based images of Europa and Ganymede reveal their icy landscapes
The cocktail of chemicals that make up the frozen surfaces on two of Jupiter's largest moons are revealed in the most detailed images ever taken of them by a telescope on Earth......»»

API authentication failures demonstrate the need for zero trust
The use of application programming interfaces (APIs) has exploded as businesses deploy mobile apps, containers, serverless computing, microservices, and expand their cloud presence. Consequently, many APIs are developed and deployed very quickly, lea.....»»
Agricultural rewilding can help restore the environment and support production of high-welfare food, researchers say
Rewilding landscapes using elements of farming practice can help to restore ecosystems and produce high-welfare, high-quality food, researchers say......»»
Diverse landscapes at the heart of bee conservation
New research from the University of Georgia revealed that mixed land use—such as developments interspersed with forest patches—improves bee diversity and is leading to new solutions for bee conservation......»»
This guy is using AI to make a movie — and you can help decide what happens next
"Salt" resembles many science-fiction films from the '70s and early '80s, complete with 35mm footage of space freighters and moody alien landscapes. But while it looks like a throwback, the way it was created points to what could be a new frontier fo.....»»

Predicting migration pathways of mule deer without GPS collars
How do researchers understand where big-game animals migrate across vast landscapes each spring and fall? That is the question asked by biologists from the University of Wyoming and Idaho Department of Fish and Game in a study published in the journa.....»»
Glaciers flowed on ancient Mars, but slowly
The weight and grinding movement of glaciers has carved distinctive valleys and fjords into Earth's surface. Because Mars lacks similar landscapes, researchers believed ancient ice masses on the Red Planet must have been frozen firmly to the ground......»»
Best practices for Kubernetes security in the enterprise market
As part of digital transformation, more and more organizations are transforming their application using cloud native architecture to become more agile and accelerate time to market. They are increasingly adopting containers and Kubernetes to do so. H.....»»
Rock outcrops influence adjacent soils and plant growth at fine scales in karst areas
Rock outcrops (ROCs), which occur either as exposed parts of the bedrock or as isolated blocks, are very common structures associated with patches of soil and plant communities in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in karst-dominated landscapes. They.....»»
Fire-adapted insects make the most of breeding grounds sterilized by wildfires
With a rise in the number of wildfires in Saskatchewan and beyond each year, burnt landscapes stripped of plant life are becoming more common. Most creatures find a burnt environment uninhabitable, but a University of Saskatchewan (USask) research te.....»»
Understanding how hillslopes connect ecosystems
Hillslopes are essential landscape features. They physically tie ridges to valleys and link terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems through sediment, water, and nutrients. Understanding how hillslopes interact is critical to understanding how landscapes w.....»»
"You get burnt together, you get wet together, you dance together": How festivals transform lives—and landscapes

Tracking invasive plants from space
Invasive plant species do more than harm agriculture and native species as they reshape landscapes. They also cause economic losses of more than $20 billion annually in the U.S. alone. Identifying where and how quickly invasive plants are spreading i.....»»
Are animal migrations social?
Migratory animals include a wide range of species—from tiny insects to the world's largest marine mammals. To achieve their journeys, migrants must walk, swim, or fly, often traversing complex landscapes that requires many choices about where, when.....»»
