Caribou and Muskoxen: Vital Players in the Arctic’s Green Transformation

A new study highlights the importance of caribou and muskoxen to the greening Arctic tundra, linking grazing with plant phenology and abundance in the Arctic tundra. The story of Arctic greening has overlooked some main characters. At center stage are climate change and warming temperatures. Meanwhile, large grazing wildlife, such as caribou and muskoxen, also

Antarctica’s Groundbreaking Discoveries: The Inaugural Amber Find

Roughly 90 million years ago, climatic conditions in Antarctica were suitable for resin-producing trees. Researchers have now made the southernmost discovery of amber in the world.

Whispers of the Wilderness: The Resilient Dance of Trees in Diverse Forests and Weather Patterns

A recent study on Cryptomeria japonica plots shows that trees dissipate wind energy by switching between two swaying behaviors at specific wind speeds, offering insights that may help in improved forest management to minimize damage caused by storms. Destructive winds during storms and cyclones often cause tree failures, especially through uprooting and stem breakage. However

Alarming Study Reveals Over a Third of Vietnam’s Mammals Face Extinction Threat

A recent study highlights that over one-third of Vietnam's 329 mammal species are threatened with extinction. A recent study highlights that over one-third of Vietnam's 329 mammal species are threatened with extinction. Conducted by German scientist Hanna Höffner of the University of Cologne and Cologne Zoo, alongside an international team, the research underscores Vietnam's vital

The Unique Genomic Origami of Turtles: A Revolutionary Discovery by Researchers

A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far. In their long strings of nucleotides, DNA molecules hold massive troves of genetic data providing instructions for how living organisms should function -- the blueprint of life. How the blueprint is stored, however, impacts

Fifty Years of Evidence Reveal Disturbing Decline in African Elephant Populations

A study found large-scale declines of African elephants in the first continent-wide analysis of population survey data. Over 53 years of surveys, forest elephant populations decreased on average by 90%, and savanna elephant populations fell on average by 70%. Habitat loss and poaching have driven dramatic declines in African elephants, but it is challenging to

Unlocking the Mysteries of ‘Snowball Earth’: New Evidence Suggests a Worldwide Phenomenon

A series of rocks hiding around Colorado's Rocky Mountains may hold clues to a frigid period in Earth's past when glaciers several miles thick covered the entire planet. Geologists have uncovered strong evidence from Colorado that massive glaciers covered Earth down to the equator hundreds of millions of years ago, transforming the planet into an

Unveiling the Mystery of the Corpse Flower’s Infamous Odor

A new study on titan arum -- commonly known as the corpse flower for its smell like rotting flesh -- uncovers fundamental genetic pathways and biological mechanisms that produce heat and odorous chemicals when the plant blooms. The study provides insight into the flower's ability to warm up just before blooming through a process known

Pollution Crisis: The Impact of Human Waste on Delaware’s Inland Watersheds

A new study suggests that human waste, both treated and untreated, is responsible for the waterway impairment in Delaware watersheds. Delaware has numerous inland waterways with high microbial impairment from unknown sources. Now, a new study suggests that human waste, both treated and untreated, is responsible for the waterway impairment in these Delaware watersheds. The

Elephant Seal Populations Drop Following Recent Avian Flu Epidemic

A year after an outbreak of H5N1 killed thousands of elephant seals in Argentina, only about a third of the seals normally expected here returned, scientists estimate. The sounds of barking elephant seals are again in the air along the breeding grounds of Península Valdés, Argentina -- but it's quieter. Almost exactly a year after
