- Exploring cadmium-induced alterations in the expression profile of microRNAson July 26, 2024 at 6:07 pm
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, has been identified as a significant environmental pollutant due to its widespread industrial use and persistence in the environment. Chronic exposure to Cd poses a considerable threat to human health, as it accumulates in various tissues over time, leading to numerous diseases.
- Exploring the effects of initial microbiota on microbial succession during eggplant fermentationon July 26, 2024 at 5:43 pm
Shibazuke is a traditional Japanese eggplant pickle produced by the process of fermentation using lactic acid bacteria (LAB). LAB which are commonly present in vegetables cause the spontaneous fermentation of vegetables, resulting in the distinctive acidic flavor of pickles.
- Climate is most important factor in where mammals choose to live, study findson July 26, 2024 at 5:23 pm
While human activity has had a massive effect on the natural world, a new study from North Carolina State University finds that climate is still the most influential factor in determining where mammals can thrive. The work sheds light on how climate change will affect wildlife populations.
- Surveys reveal vast mangrove damage along Great Barrier Reef and restoration hotspotson July 26, 2024 at 5:21 pm
A James Cook University report has revealed severe damage in about 80% of mangroves along the Great Barrier Reef, from Cairns to Gladstone—and pinpointed 52 potential restoration hotspots over 17,255 hectares.
- 3D models show dolphins already used narrow-band sound waves for orientation 5 million years agoon July 26, 2024 at 4:59 pm
Senckenberg researcher Dr. Rachel Racicot and her former student Joyce Sanks from Vanderbilt University have examined the inner ear of the extinct dolphin genus Parapontoporia. In their study, published in the journal The Anatomical Record, they show that the toothed whales had already developed specialized high-frequency hearing in the Miocene.

New research has found that 4,642 species of vertebrates are threatened by mineral extraction around the world through mining and quarrying, and drilling for oil and gas.
- New understanding of fly behavior has potential application in robotics, public safetyon July 26, 2024 at 3:00 pm
Why do flies buzz around in circles when the air is still? And why does it matter? In a paper published in Current Biology, University of Nevada, Reno Assistant Professor Floris van Breugel and Postdoctoral Researcher S. David Stupski respond to this previously unanswered question. Their answer could hold a key to public safety—specifically, how to better train robotic systems to track chemical leaks.
