Ecology

African frogs haven’t forgotten the ice ages. Scientists can tell by where they live.

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

Why are frogs diverse in some parts of Africa’s rainforests and less so in others? The patterns of cooling and glaciation during the last ice age would probably not have been your first answer or […]

Ecology

When trees get ‘sunburn’: Study shows how young trees can handle the heat

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

Can our forests adapt to a hotter and drier future climate? Temperatures are predicted to rise up to 5°C compared to pre-industrial times. Forest management needs to adapt to these conditions, which requires a better […]

Computers

New method makes neural networks three times faster in wave propagation problems

April 7, 2026 Tech Xplore

Researchers at Skoltech have proposed a new approach to training neural networks for wave propagation in absorbing media. The method significantly improves the accuracy and stability of solutions and accelerates model training in the design […]

Ecology

Social honey bees stay cool: How groups mitigate heat-triggered hormone spikes

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

Heat can change a honey bee’s hormone levels, but only if the bee is alone. New research from MSU entomologist Zachary Huang shows that isolated honey bees experience a rapid hormonal rise when exposed to […]

Education

Teachers tend to help the same kids repeatedly when using AI-powered tutoring tools

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

A new study finds teachers tend to provide assistance to similar subsets of students when using AI-powered educational tools, rather than touching base regularly with everyone in their classes. The findings could be used to […]

Ecology

Bird flu spread could be impacted by where waterfowl like to live

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

The movement patterns of waterfowl, including ducks, swans and geese, may affect the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza in bird populations, according to a new study from the University of Georgia. The findings are […]

Technology

Ultra-thin camera delivers 140-degree view with no lens protrusion

April 7, 2026 Tech Xplore

A breakthrough technology has emerged to fundamentally solve the camera protrusion/thickness issue, which has been a persistent limitation as smart devices become thinner. A KAIST research team has developed an ultra-thin camera that achieves a […]

Ecology

Network analysis reveals mammal food web drivers across Africa

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

Ecology is often understood as a hyperlocal thing. The ecology of a pond, for instance, is vastly complex, even if the pond is tiny. But learning solely from local ecosystems is a slow and laborious […]

Ecology

From decades-long studies of humble grasses, new clues to climate resistance

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

In parts of the Midwest and Great Plains, feathery yellow goldenrod and stands of big bluestem sway alongside Indiangrass and other prairie plants, stretching up to eight feet tall. Now, in the search for ways […]

Math

Ranks of Disparity: New approach fixes flaw in fairness algorithms

April 7, 2026 Phys Org

As organizations increasingly rely on algorithms to rank candidates for jobs, university spots, and financial services, a new method, named hyperFA*IR, offers a more principled approach when picking candidates based on a limited pool of […]
