The best traits in Crusader Kings III
Getting the best traits in Crusader Kings III will make or break any playthrough. Here is how to get the best traits for your kids and which ones to avoid......»»
Coordination exists between tree allometrics and functional traits, finds study
Plant ecologists have identified a number of functional traits that indicate where species fall along an ecological strategy spectrum from acquisitive to conservative species. Plant architecture and allometries are indicative of life-history strategi.....»»
Gene variations for immune and metabolic conditions have persisted in humans for more than 700,000 years
Like a merchant of old, balancing the weights of two different commodities on a scale, nature can keep different genetic traits in balance as a species evolves over millions of years......»»

Research video shows sailfish"s point of view and reveals new hunting behavior
To say studying sailfish is challenging is an understatement. These fish, often described as the "fastest fish in the world," exhibit some remarkable traits as they make their way through the oceans in search of their next meal......»»
How Supergenes Beat the Odds—and Fuel Evolution
Stretches of DNA that lock inherited traits together often accumulate harmful mutations. But they also hold genetic benefits for species......»»
Here"s what to do when you encounter people with "dark personality traits" at work
Have you ever suffered through tales of greatness from a self-absorbed "friend" who reminds you of Michael Scott from "The Office"—and not in a good way? Have you been betrayed by a colleague out of the blue, undermined on a project by the office m.....»»
Chemical isotopes from plant xylem can improve representations of the forest water cycle
Plants are an integral part of the water cycle. Certain plant traits, like rooting depth and water storage, can govern water availability across an entire ecosystem......»»
New metric of molecular evolution in the search for the genetic basis of phenotypic traits
With its powerful digging shovels, the European mole can burrow through the soil with ease. The same applies to the Australian marsupial mole. Although the two animal species live far apart, they have developed similar organs in the course of evoluti.....»»
Newly identified protease inhibitors may aid uninhibited potato cultivation
As humans domesticated plants, they saved certain seeds to plant in the next growing season based on desirable traits. Susceptibility to diseases popped up on this path to domestication, but wild varieties of plants could fight off these pathogens. T.....»»
Artificial intelligence helps Brazilian breeders select desired traits of native fish
If you look at a net full of pacus (Piaractus mesopotamicus), you cannot distinguish with the naked eye which individuals will have descendants with higher filet yield or faster weight gain......»»
New method unearths improved understanding of soil microbial interactions
Linking the identity of wild microbes with their physiological traits and environmental functions is a key aim for environmental microbiologists. Of the techniques that strive for this goal, Stable Isotope Probing—SIP—is considered the most effec.....»»
Planet"s most unique birds at higher risk of extinction: Study of 99% of all living bird species
A new study finds that bird species with extreme or uncommon combinations of traits face the highest risk of extinction. The findings are published in the journal Functional Ecology......»»
Genes and languages aren"t always found together, says new study
More than 7,000 languages are spoken in the world. This linguistic diversity is passed on from one generation to the next, similarly to biological traits. But have language and genes evolved in parallel over the past few thousand years, as Charles Da.....»»
Researchers find genetic links between traits are often overstated
Many estimates of how strongly traits and diseases share genetic signals may be inflated, according to a new UCLA-led study that indicates current methods for assessing genetic relationships between traits fail to account for mating patterns......»»
Termite diversity and functional traits quantitatively modeled for the first time
As ecosystem engineers, termites provide a range of ecosystem services. Although termites represent an ideal study system to examine broad-scale diversity patterns, their broad scale biogeographical patterns have yet to be extensively investigated......»»
Vivo develops image chips to combat freezing mobile phone market
Chinese mobile phone maker Vivo recently announced a new generation of self-developed image chips. Said image chip uses the AI-ISP architecture, bringing the low latency and high-performance traits of traditional ISPs to the AI instant processing arc.....»»
Want to save the bees? Pay attention to pathogens and flowers
New research published in the journal Ecology conclusively shows that certain physical traits of flowers affect the health of bumblebees by modulating the transmission of a harmful pathogen called Crithidia bombi. In particular, the research, conduct.....»»
Gotham Knights’ ending explained: Batman’s death, the Court of Owls, and more
This is what happens in Gotham Knights' the latest Batman game from WB Games that actually kills the caped crusader......»»
Dark personality traits make people susceptible to fake news
People who deny the existence of facts believe in fake news more often. People with dark personality traits—those who always put their own benefit first—are particularly often affected......»»
Women imitate masculine traits to be taken seriously as gamers, study finds
