Two pioneering studies by researchers from the School of Zoology and the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History at Tel Aviv University, led by Dr. Omri Bronstein, have identified the primary drivers of sea urchin mass […]

A two-decade-long experiment in the Sierra Nevada found that regular prescribed burns promote carbon sequestration in live trees and plants, maintaining forests’ long-term ability to store carbon while also reducing wildfire hazard.This article was originally […]

A global analysis of coral bleaching across 81 countries reveals that reefs in the equatorial Coral Triangle region were exposed to the weakest marine heat waves over the past two decades and may function as […]

A habitat-building coralline algae that provides a vital nursing ground for marine species and an important blue carbon ecosystem has been genetically mapped around south-west Britain in a first-of-its-kind study.This article was originally published on […]

Severe flooding has slashed global rice yields in recent decades, threatening food security for billions of people who depend on the grain. The losses amounted to approximately 4.3%, or 18 million tons of rice per […]

Aquaculture—the farming of fish and other aquatic organisms—is the world’s fastest-growing food production system.This article was originally published on this website.

Scientists document a new form of host manipulation where an invading, parasitic ant queen “tricks” ant workers into killing their queen mother. The invading ant integrates herself into the nest by pretending to be a […]
