New research led by University of Wyoming scientists has found that the 8,000-10,000 sharp-tailed grouse found in the shrublands and high deserts of south-central Wyoming and northwest Colorado represent a distinct subspecies of sharp-tailed grouse that has been isolated from other populations of the bird for many years. The discovery could have major implications for wildlife managers in Wyoming and other states in the Intermountain West and Pacific Northwest.
Mice can develop a sense of embodiment of an artificial limb, similar to humans who participate in the rubber-hand illusion experiment, according to a study published June 5th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Luc Estebanez from CNRS: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France, and colleagues.
An international study published today (5 June 2025) in the prestigious journal Science found that dehorning rhinos resulted in a drastic reduction in poaching of these endangered animals. This is based on the analysis of data across 11 reserves in the Greater Kruger region of South Africa between 2017 and 2023. Poaching for their horn is a major threat to the world’s five rhino species.
Every tumor is unique. This makes it difficult to find the most effective therapy for treatment. The Tumor Profiler Center of the University Hospital Zurich, the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and the University Hospital Basel has now carried out a study in which nine different molecular biological technologies were used to precisely measure the properties of the tumor in four weeks and enable a precise treatment decision. The study is the first of its kind in the world.
