A process known as the biological carbon pump (BCP) moves organic carbon from near the ocean’s surface to the ocean floor. That carbon often stays there for hundreds or thousands of years, making the…
When bacteria invade the urinary tract, the body has its own arsenal for fighting back. Among those weapons is an unlikely tool: copper. Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary…
The story of Dan Blumstein’s decision to share videos of marmots from the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory field study on an OnlyFans account called OnlyMarms has captured attention around the…
Decoding the bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic progenitor compartment is central to understanding the development of mature immune cells in health and disease. Single-cell multimodal approaches are…
Passive acoustic sensors and machine learning classifiers offer a scalable approach to monitoring wildlife populations. These classifiers typically detect whether a species is present in a short…
Nitrogen source and availability can modulate thermal stress responses in marine macroalgae, yet the transcriptional mechanisms underpinning these effects in green seaweeds remain poorly understood….
An international team of scientists, including Donald Danforth Plant Science Center member emerita Elizabeth “Toby” Kellogg, Ph.D., has produced a chromosome-level genome assembly that offers a new…
New research shows how artificial intelligence, combined with advanced experimental science, can help find “hidden” and unexplored proteins in the human body and reveal what they actually do,…

Mosquitoes use CO2 as a critical cue to sense if humans are nearby. A new study in PLOS Biology reveals that CO2-sensing neurons in mosquitoes can amplify each other’s signals,…
Dogs and cats may carry strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a potentially serious bacterium that can cause infections and is also found in humans, according to new research from Bournemouth University…
