Tracing the evolution of ferns" surprisingly sweet defense strategy
Plants and the animals that eat them have evolved together in fascinating ways, creating a dynamic interplay of survival strategies. Many plants have developed physical and chemical defenses to fend off herbivores. A well-known strategy in flowering.....»»
Study shows cuckoos evolve to look like their hosts—and form new species in the process
The theory of coevolution says that when closely interacting species drive evolutionary changes in each other this can lead to speciation—the evolution of new species. But until now, real-world evidence for this has been scarce......»»
Successful engine test boosts Vega-C toward return-to-flight
The Zefiro-40 solid rocket motor, the second stage of the Vega-C rocket, was tested today by Vega-C prime contractor Avio at its Salto di Quirra test facility in Sardinia, Italy. The motor features an improved engine nozzle design, required to prepar.....»»
Study reveals maintenance of male-related genes after loss of males in stick insects
Traits are often lost during evolution, either because they are no longer beneficial or because they are too costly to maintain. When this happens, it is generally believed that the genes underlying the trait will eventually degrade as well, making i.....»»
It"s hard to find fossil skin, but a rare discovery reveals clues about the evolution from water to land
Fossilized skin and other soft tissues are exceedingly rare, and it is only under special conditions that these rarest of fossils are preserved......»»
TerraMaster D8 Hybrid drive enclosure review: Lots of data, not enough bandwidth
If you need a lot of storage in about as small an enclosure as you can get, the TerraMaster D8 Hybrid fuses hard drive and SSD storage — but with a crucial speed limitation.TerraMaster D8 Hybrid reviewIt's been a quiet evolution, but external drive.....»»
Paper proposes a unified account of Darwinism"s varieties
A new paper published in The Quarterly Review of Biology examines the question of what Darwinism is and how its nonscientific uses relate to the scientific theory of evolution......»»
Discovery of ancient rock impression suggests ability to form cornified skin goes back to early evolution of tetrapods
A team of geologists, paleontologists and archaeologists affiliated with several institutions in Poland, Czechia and Germany has found evidence suggesting that the ability to form cornified skin appendages is not unique to terrestrial vertebrates, bu.....»»
New molecule found to suppress bacterial antibiotic resistance evolution
Researchers from the University of Oxford have developed a new small molecule that can suppress the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria and make resistant bacteria more susceptible to antibiotics. The paper, "Development of an inhibitor of.....»»
The evolution of security metrics for NIST CSF 2.0
CISOs have long been spreadsheet aficionados, soaking up metrics and using them as KPIs for security progress. These metrics have traditionally measured specific systems or single indicators — vulnerabilities detected, percentage of vulnerabilities.....»»
On repeat: Biologists observe recurring evolutionary changes, over time, in stick insects
A long-standing debate among evolutionary scientists goes something like this: Does evolution happen in a predictable pattern or does it depend on chance events and contingency? That is, if you could turn back the clock, as celebrated scientist Steph.....»»
Researchers reveal evolutionary origins of appetite by studying simple nervous system of Hydra
Over the course of evolution, living organisms have gradually developed more complex nervous systems in order to coordinate increasingly complex sensory, motor and cognitive functions and to control the associated behavior......»»
Researchers reveal dynamic structure of FLVCR proteins and their function in nutrient transport
It is known that malfunctions of the proteins FLVCR1 and FLVCR2 lead to rare hereditary diseases in humans that cause motor, sensory and neurological disorders. However, the biochemical mechanisms behind this and the physiological functions of the FL.....»»
