An internationally binding treaty known as the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) has made it harder for vessels fishing outside national waters to avoid port inspections for illegal catches, but inconsistent standards across foreign versus […]
Australia’s Critically Endangered eastern gray nurse shark population is increasing slowly, research that combined rigorous biological sampling and genetic sleuthing has found.This article was originally published on this website.
Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have created a new material platform for non-volatile memories using covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline solids with high thermal stability. The researchers successfully installed electric-field-responsive dipolar rotors […]
When individuals from two different species interbreed, hybrid organisms may emerge that display characteristics from both genetic lineages. While hybridization is a common natural phenomenon, it is often seen as a challenge in biodiversity conservation.This […]
A new study from Stockholm University reveals that spruce bark beetles, already infamous for killing millions of trees in Sweden, are also changing the forest microclimate. Using a combination of temperature sensors attached to trees […]
Now, at the end of the summer, when the thrush nightingales leave Europe for southern Africa, they do not fly at full speed. Instead, they maintain an even pace—and according to a new study in […]
New research finds that treated forests are 88% less susceptible to high-severity wildfire than their unmanaged counterparts, and can recover carbon stocks in only seven years. The findings, carried out by researchers at Vibrant Planet, […]
Aqueous batteries have been around for centuries. They are safe and relatively low-cost, but their adoption in new energy storage systems—such as grid storage and electric vehicles—has been limited. One major reason is material compatibility: […]
One of the most effective ways we learn is through third-party imitation, where we observe and then copy the actions and behaviors of others. Until recently, this was thought to be a unique human trait, […]
During a tiger survey at a wildlife sanctuary in India, conservationists noticed a “large-sized” mammal. The brief glimpse intrigued them and led them to set up more trail cameras for a better look at the […]
