Bee species that nest in plant stems appear to be at the greatest short-term risk from increasing temperatures due to climate change, while those that nest in the ground are more able to evade extreme heat, according to new research from Australian evolutionary ecologists.
Researchers have developed a new way of testing for foetal abnormalities using a simple blood draw from the mother that is able to identify a very high proportion of the clinically relevant genetic variants that are currently only detectable by invasive testing.
Recent Hantavirus cases, including the MV Hondius cruise outbreak, show renewed global concern. Agricultural and wildlife-farming environment remain overlooked hotspots for rodent-borne Hantavirus exposure. One Health prevention is needed through rodent control, PPE, farm hygiene, and surveillance.
A study published in Cell advances understanding of how drugs shape vital cellular structures known as biomolecular condensates, blob-like mechanisms that drive gene regulation processes and have been linked to Alzheimer's, ALS and cancer.
A Virginia Tech-led team of international scientists has solved one of the last major mysteries in millipede evolution, revealing new clues about a group of animals that helped pave the way for life on land. The findings, published in Current Biology, complete the first evolutionary history of all living millipede orders. By combining genomic data from living species with morphological evidence from fossils, researchers traced the group's origins to nearly 460 million years ago — suggesting millipedes may have been present long before the oldest known millipede fossils.
