Science is what we do when we want to understand how things in the universe work. It is a process of discovering facts and developing theories about how things work and interact with each other. Science is not just limited to the physical world, but also includes the study of human behavior and social interactions. We use scientific methods to study everything from the behavior of animals to the effects of various drugs on people. By using the scientific method, we are constantly learning new things about the world around us. Science is important because it allows us to understand our surroundings and make informed decisions about our lives. It helps us to find solutions to problems and make predictions about future events. Without science, we would be living in complete darkness, unaware of the incredible complexities of the universe around us.
Insights into evolutionary dynamics: Study reveals the evolution of evolvability
A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) sheds fresh light on one of the most debated concepts in biology: evolvability. The work provides the first experimental evidence showing how natural selection can shape genetic systems to enhance future capacity for evolution, challenging traditional perspectives on evolutionary processes.
Demethylation of lignin-derived syringol? There's (now) a peroxygenase for that. | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Plant processing from forestry and agriculture generates ~100 million tons of lignin waste each year. How do microorganisms process lignin to make use of this vast resource? We've discovered a bacterial enzyme for the O-demethylation of S-lignin derived monolignols catalysed using peroxide.
Interaction between waves and vegetation | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) mitigate coastal erosion and extreme weather by enhancing resilience, dissipating wave energy, and stabilizing shorelines. Research highlights their role in wave attenuation. Integrating NBS into coastal management ensures sustainable and effective shoreline protection.
The ‘World’s Dumbest Bird’ can innovate to find food | Research Communities by Springer Nature
For the first time, Palaeognath birds (the ancestral bird grouping containing large, flightless birds like ostriches and emus) are shown to be capable of technical innovation, inventing new behaviour to access concealed food.
Warming May Weaken Carbon Sequestration in Southern Ocean Marginal Seas While Amplifying Mercury Accumulation | Research Communities by Springer Nature
The Southern Ocean is vital for sequestering CO2 and mercury, but its response to climate warming is uncertain. Research in the Ross Sea shows that ice shelf retreat boosts carbon release but turns it into CO2, while warming boosts mercury burial, amplifying pollution risks and climate feedbacks.
Addressing observational biases in data-driven approaches of zoonotic hazard prediction – Methods Blog
Post provided by Andrea Tonelli Over the past five decades, more than half of emerging infectious diseases in humans originated from animals, with zoonotic pathogens posing a growing threat to global health. Shifts in land use, climate change, direct use of wildlife and biodiversity loss all influence human exposure to pathogens of wild animals, shaping…
From Status Symbol to Silent Epidemic: The Complex Relationship Between Obesity, Food Insecurity, and Liver Health | Research Communities by Springer Nature
On World Obesity Day 2025, we explore the paradox of modern malnutrition: Why are food-insecure communities disproportionately affected by as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease?
Vulnerability of benthic trait diversity across the Mediterranean Sea following Mass Mortality Events | Research Communities by Springer Nature
An international group of scientists has quantified the impacts of global change in the Mediterranean Sea over 35 years to assess the vulnerability of benthic communities by using Mass Mortality Events (MMEs) observations, providing new insights into the long-term consequences of biodiversity loss.
The inner ear of Neanderthals reveals clues about their enigmatic origin
New research on the inner ear morphology of Neanderthals and their ancestors challenges the widely accepted theory that Neanderthals originated after an evolutionary event that implied the loss of part of their genetic diversity. The findings, based on fossil samples from Atapuerca (Spain) and Krapina (Croatia), as well as from various European and Western Asian sites have been published in Nature Communications.
CPRIT awards nearly $23 million to MD Anderson for cancer research projects
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded nearly $23 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in support of 20 cancer research projects to advance new breakthroughs in discovery, translational, clinical and prevention science.
Minibinders: Tiny Proteins with Huge Potential in Bioengineering | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Miniproteins, microproteins, or ‘minibinders’, typically under 100 amino acids, are gaining attention for their potential pharmaceutical applications. These minibinders occur naturally in various organisms and play crucial roles.
Hidden in the blood – can blood microbiomes flag potential disease outbreaks? | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Many pathogens hide within wild animal populations, making it difficult to monitor, predict or prevent outbreaks of these infections in other animal or human populations. Recently, we learn that there may be a way to use the blood microbiome from wild animals as a flag of potential infection.
Resilient algae may speed up Greenland ice melt | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Ice algae thrive on glaciers and ice sheets worldwide, darkening the ice and accelerating its melt. Our study reveals their minimal nutrient needs, explaining how they persist in this harsh environment and may colonize even larger ice areas in the future.
