1. "Researchers Discover New Species of Jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea" This article discusses the recent discovery of a new species of jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea. It explains how the species was identified and provides details about its physical characteristics. It also discusses the potential implications of the discovery for marine ecosystems in the region. 2. "New Study Finds That Pollution is Increasingly Threatening Coral Reefs" This article examines a recent study which found that pollution is a major threat to coral reef ecosystems. It explains how pollution is damaging coral reef habitats, and explores possible solutions to reducing pollution and protecting coral reefs. 3. "Scientists Develop New Method for Detecting Disease-Causing Bacteria" This article discusses a new method for detecting disease-causing bacteria developed by scientists. It explains how the method works and highlights its potential applications in the medical field. It also looks at how the method could be used to improve public health efforts. 4. "Researchers Discover Genes Responsible for Plant Growth and Development" This article examines a recent study which identified the genes responsible for plant growth and development. It explains how the genes were identified, and provides details about their role in plant growth. It
Mirroring the mechanisms that make human faces and bodies—and those of many multicellular organisms—symmetrical, bee colonies build symmetrical nests when they are placed on either side of a double-sided comb. The finding, published in Current Biology, extends examples of symmetry in biology to the behavior of communities and the architectural structures that they build.
Photosynthetic "biohybrid" architectures combine the evolved protein architectures from biology with the structural creativity and specialized chemical properties provided by synthetic materials. This investigation reveals the first direct structural look at a photons-to-fuels biohybrid.
Microorganisms—bacteria, viruses and other tiny life forms—may drive biological variation in visible life as much, if not more, than genetic mutations, creating new lineages and even new species of animals and plants, according to Seth Bordenstein, director of Penn State's One Health Microbiome Center, professor of biology and entomology, and the Dorothy Foehr Huck and J. Lloyd Huck Endowed Chair in Microbiome Sciences.
A new study presents "Evo" – a machine learning model capable of decoding and designing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, from molecular to genome scale, with unparalleled accuracy. Evo's ability to predict, generate, and engineer entire genomic sequences could change the way synthetic biology is done.
The pterosaurs are extinct flying reptiles that lived alongside their close relatives, the dinosaurs. The largest of these reached 10 m in wingspan, but early forms were generally limited to around 2 m. In a paper, a team led by paleontologist Dr. David Hone of Queen Mary University of London and published in the journal Current Biology describes a new species of pterosaur that helps to explain this important transition.
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more common and sophisticated, its effects on human lives and societies raises new questions. A new paper published in The Quarterly Review of Biology posits how these new technologies might affect human evolution.
In this Q&A, Gina Rippon discusses her research interests relating to the study of female autism. She has recently published a review in the BMC journal Biology of Sex Differences, and her latest book, published by Pan Macmillan and Seal Press (US), will be released in 2025.
