The field of human adult neurogenesis has been controversial despite mounting evidence. The authors propose moving beyond debating the existence of adult…
Researchers from the University of Rhode Island are contributing to an international effort to document life on Indonesia’s remote tropical seamounts—underwater mountains rising from the ocean…
Hurricanes can be a devastating force—leveling trees, erasing beaches and damaging homes. But what do they do to wildlife? The answer ranges from the good to the bad to the ugly. Hurricanes…
“`html Understanding Machine Learning in Biology Machine learning (ML) is revolutionizing how biologists analyze complex biological data. Rather than programming explicit instructions, ML algorithms learn patterns from large datasets to make predictions and discoveries. In biology, these computational methods process vast amounts of genetic sequences, protein structures, medical images, and cellular data that would be … Read more
Colorado State University Professor George Wittemyer and his research team reunited a 4-month-old elephant calf with her family after she wandered into a tourist camp alone. The orphaned elephant…
A new computational program, MicroFinder, enables faster and more accurate assembly of bird genomes. Improved genome assemblies will help researchers better understand bird biology, evolution, and…
Ringed seals are among the most common marine mammals in the Canadian Arctic. They strongly rely on sea ice as a habitat, breathing through holes they maintain in the frozen surface, giving birth in…
Anesthesia makes life-saving procedures as painless and stress-free as possible for the animals we love and care for. But not a lot is known about the effects of anesthesia on animals that we don’t…
In tropical forests, much of the biodiversity can be heard before it is seen. Birds call, insects buzz and frogs croak, creating complex soundscapes that reflect the presence of different species.
The arrival of a potentially powerful El Niño weather system this year could devastate coral reefs around the world already weakened by back-to-back rounds of bleaching, scientists warn.
