Biotechnological breakthrough provides essential pollen nutrients for bees
In a groundbreaking study, University of Utah researchers found strong evidence that exposure to industrial pollutionduring pregnancy can shape a grandchild’s neurodevelopment. A child has a higher risk of an intellectual disability if their grandmothers lived near industrial facilities while pregnant with a parent, especially the mother. Higher density of industrial facilities corresponded to higher risk for the grandchild.
Biologists in the US have shown for the first time that global biodiversity is concentrated within a few disproportionately large groups with exceptional rates of evolutionary diversification. This result suggests that rapid radiations, including adaptive radiations, have generated the majority of life on Earth.
