Researchers from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington have discovered how some microorganisms that live in portions of the ocean where oxygen is almost absent manage to thrive. Called marine oxygen-deficient zones (ODZs), these regions are sandwiched between the oxygen-rich surface and the deep layers. In their study, which appeared in the […]

Biologists identify the protein that makes tendon-muscle connections last a lifetime
The collaboration between muscles and tendons is important for facilitating animal movement. Muscles are contractile tissues whose function is to produce force and motion. What keeps muscles in place and attaches them to the bones is a strong and flexible connective tissue called tendon. Muscles and tendons are connected to each other by attachments, which […]

Fennel-loaded chitosan particles found to be an anthelmintic against Schistosoma mansoni
In this study, researchers from Benha University in Egypt assessed the therapeutic effect of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with Nigella sativa (NSLCN) and the structural changes they induce in parasitic worms in vitro. The results of their study were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research. Nanoparticles are commonly used as drug carriers because they can modulate […]

The grass is always greener (and the soil is healthier) on the side of conservation agriculture
Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are adaptable and can be customized to the requirements of crops and local conditions. While this farming system considers soil health and the impact it has on the ecosystem, it is not without its disadvantages. The early days of CA implementation may present various problems, such as nitrogen immobilization and weed interference. Both […]

Planthoppers “shake their bodies” to attract their mates
Planthoppers are Hemiptera or “true bugs” that are of great interest to scientists due to their destructive nature. Not only does their strange way of eating cause damage to some plants, it also makes them unwitting vectors of plant diseases. Recently, however, a group of researchers from the University of Oxford in the U.K. discovered something about these […]

What is that in the water? Researchers have developed a simple way to trace contamination
The contamination of water, especially with fecal matter from animals or humans, is a serious problem. Pathogens from human or animal wastes can cause life-threatening diseases as well as economic losses. To address fecal pollution of water systems properly, it is important to know the origin of the waste. Human and animal wastes present different health risks; identifying […]

Bee smarts: Scientists discover the insects can do basic math
Animals are able to understand and use numbers on a rudimentary level. They apply this understanding to important tasks, such as foraging and managing resources, which ensure their survival. So far, only humans and a few animal species have demonstrated the ability to do complex arithmetic operations. But a new study conducted by researchers from France and Australia show that honeybees […]
