Study investigates "virgin birth" in aquarium sharks, even when potential mates are nearby
Asexual reproduction is common for animals like starfish, deep-sea worms, and stick insects, but among vertebrates, it's a rarity. A process called parthenogenesis allows some female animals to fertilize an egg with their own genetic material, produc.....»»
Landscape ecological history supports rewilding for biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation in Mediterranean
A multidisciplinary historical ecology research carried out in Pollino National Park (southern Italy) reveals that rewilding processes triggered by abandonment or changes in land-use priorities have contributed to the conservation and local expansion.....»»
Starvation shown to cause cell remodeling
Body cells burn off fat reserves when nutrient supply from food ceases. A team led by Professor Volker Haucke and Dr. Wonyul Jang from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has now discovered a previously unknown mechanis.....»»
Coral vanadium can record tropical cyclones and anthropogenic activities in the South China Sea
Recently, new areas of research have arisen because of environmental concerns since the Industrial Revolution that focus on vanadium cycling between the atmosphere, water and sediments. Vanadium has been widely recognized as a trace contaminant in fo.....»»
Scientists find iron cycling key to permafrost greenhouse gas emissions
The interaction of elemental iron with the vast stores of carbon locked away in Arctic soils is key to how greenhouse gases are emitted during thawing and should be included in models used to predict Earth's climate, Oak Ridge National Laboratory sci.....»»
Particles of light may create fluid flow, data-theory comparison suggests
A new computational analysis by theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Wayne State University supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of "strongl.....»»
Taiwan OSATs quietly ramp up support for Chinese customers

Twirling parasitic worms throw dance party in man’s scrotum
In medical terms, the dance party is called the "filarial dance sign." Enlarge / This photomicrograph depicts a close view of the posterior end of a Wuchereria bancrofti microfilaria, a leading cause for human lymphatic filarias.....»»
Space research: Is it feasible to reuse high salinity wastewater as a plant nutrient medium for plant hydroponics?
The water cycle is an important part of the controlled ecological life support system (CELSS). It involves the supply of drinking water and plant irrigation water, and the recycling of urine, sanitary waste water, and air condensate water. Using urin.....»»
A husband-and-wife team solve the mystery of how worms develop their gut
Were it not for the COVID-19 pandemic, an important discovery about the development of nematodes—elongated cylindrical worms—might not have been made......»»

Examining the promotion of Arabidopsis immune responses by a rhizosphere fungus
Plants can form diverse intimate relationships with beneficial mycorrhizal, endophytic and or rhizosphere fungi for nutrient trades. It is now known that plants can transfer carbon sources like fatty acids to fungi while the fungi mediate the supply.....»»
Study finds DNA repair declines with age, limiting fertility
Even worms have a ticking fertility clock. Older worms are less efficient at repairing broken DNA strands while making egg cells—part of a process that's essential for fertility. A new study from University of Oregon (UO) biologists suggests one po.....»»
More flexible than we thought: Worms provide new insights into the evolution and diversification of TGF-beta signaling
The TGF-ß cellular signaling network, essential to various functions in all metazoans and involved in many severe human pathologies like autoimmune diseases and cancer, is more flexible than previously thought......»»
Spatial distribution characteristics of nitrogen and dissolved organic matter in large, shallow degenerating lake
Abnormal climate, urban expansion, and human activities make the nitrogen-containing nutrients in many productive or functional lakes maintain a high level for a long time. The transport and transformation of nitrogen, a key nutrient element affectin.....»»
