Archaeologists unearth Medieval poop that might hint at what a healthy gut microbiome looks like
Medieval fecal samples from Israel and Latvia could provide crucial insights into how gut diseases developed, suggests a recent study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. The samples were recovered from two latrines located in the capital cities of Jerusalem and Riga, which date back to between the 14th and 15th centuries. […]

The brain adapts to survive: How do people with poor eyesight develop better hearing?
Scientific studies and anecdotal evidence suggests that people who are born blind or become blind early in life often develop a sharper sense of hearing. For decades, scientists have wondered what changes happen in the brain that contributes to superior hearing in the blind. Now, a recent study has managed to pinpoint what exactly makes this […]

Hiding in plain sight: Peacocks’ brightly colored feathers could be camouflage that hides them from predators, suggests study
The words “peacock” and “camouflage” are generally considered opposites. But Pennsylvania-based researchers now argue that the vivid colors of the flightless bird conceal it from predatory mammals. To the human eye, the tail feathers of the male peacock stand out like a visual sore thumb. However, it so happens that the retina of the human […]

Climate change didn’t hurt the dinosaurs… they were thriving until the asteroid struck
The catastrophic asteroid that penetrated planet Earth approximately 66 million years ago caused intense and widespread volcanic activity. Observing geological evidence, today’s scientists largely agree that these natural and celestial forces are the reason dinosaurs were eliminated from the face of the planet at the end of the Cretaceous period. There is speculation, however, that […]

Having constantly stressed ancestors may improve your own immune response to stressors, suggest research
A new study showed that the descendants of lizards who lived in high-stress environments developed stronger immune systems than those descended from lizards who lived in low-stress environments. Based on this discovery, researchers should consider looking at family history in future studies investigating stress and its effects on health. Long periods of stress can compromise the immune system of an organism, rendering it more vulnerable to […]

Human activity is causing wildlife to become more nocturnal
Based on the findings of a recent study, the accelerated growth of human activity around the world is gradually making wildlife more nocturnal. Earlier research has already proven that animals will change their spatial patterns to avoid humans, whom they fear. However, the study, titled, “The Influence of Human Disturbance on Wildlife Nocturnality,” presumes that one day, animals may […]

Dogs are not as evolved as wolves, who have to collaborate to survive in the wild
It’s believed that domestication has helped imbue dogs with a greater sense of cooperation – after all, they’re more than capable of working with humans as law enforcement dogs, service dogs, and the like. But when it comes to collaborating with other dogs, the results are less than stellar. In fact, according to a study […]

Scientists discover a soil bacteria that commits “ecological suicide”
A joint team of American and German researchers recently discovered self-destructive behavior by soil bacteria that should serve as a cautionary tale for us humans. A Cosmos Magazine article stated that excessively large populations of these microbes often commit “ecological suicide,” where they accidentally wipe themselves out by polluting their surroundings. In their study, the […]

Genetic data shed light on how soil microbes survive nutrient-deficient environments
For the longest time, researchers have puzzled over the process that allows microbes to grow within the phosphorus-poor soil found in tropical rainforests. A recent study of their genetic data revealed that these microbes possess a higher amount of genes that specialize in getting the vital mineral, according to a NewsWise article. Tropical soils are […]

Scientists look at how human activity has altered evolution in the natural world: The consequences of exploding populations of rats, bedbugs, mosquitoes in cities
Nature may no longer be the primary force impacting evolution. A duo of researchers from the University of Toronto and Fordham University have put out a revolutionary new study on the evolutionary influence of urbanization. The study, which was published in Science, serves as a grim reminder on how far-reaching man’s power truly is. For […]
