Snow leopards, leopards, and Himalayan wolves all share similar stomping grounds in Nepal's Lapchi Valley in the Himalayas. A recent study, published in PLOS One, has taken a closer look at how these apex predators have found ...
Phys.org / Robotic floats uncover hidden ocean chemistry in low-oxygen zones
Scientists have found a new way to detect subtle chemical signatures in seawater, revealing previously invisible details about the ocean's chemistry from data continuously collected by thousands of autonomous robotic floats ...
Phys.org / New York Bight is a key spring habitat for endangered sei whales, research reveals
A new study led by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) reveals that endangered sei whales regularly use the New York Bight as a key spring habitat, underscoring ...
Medical Xpress / About 80% of breast cancer biopsies turn out benign. New imaging tool promises clearer diagnoses and fewer biopsies
Ultrasound is widely used in breast cancer diagnosis. While it can effectively show that a lump is filled with fluid—indicating it is unlikely to be cancer—it cannot reliably determine whether a solid mass is benign or cancerous. ...
Medical Xpress / New technique identifies proteins that trigger immune responses in transplants and implants
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new method to identify which proteins are most likely to trigger an immune response—a discovery that could help improve transplant care, regenerative medicine and other areas where ...
Medical Xpress / Study outlines life-enhancement paths for those in long-term care facilities
A University at Buffalo study of older adults transitioning to long-term care has identified "life-enhancing" activities to counteract loneliness, sadness, and isolation. In the study, published in the Journal of Advanced ...
Medical Xpress / Examining evolving trends in oral cavity cancer among younger adults
April marks Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, a national campaign encouraging early detection and raising awareness of cancers affecting the mouth, throat, and related structures. This crucial message about early detection ...
Medical Xpress / AED algorithm could improve location of lifesaving devices
Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators and colleagues created an algorithm designed to use data on sudden cardiac arrests to determine the best public locations for lifesaving devices called automated external ...
Medical Xpress / Ixekizumab + Tirzepatide boosts psoriatic arthritis outcomes more than Ixekizumab monotherapy
Ixekizumab plus tirzepatide (IXE+TZP) shows significant benefits for outcomes in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) versus IXE alone in adults with overweight or obesity, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the ...
Phys.org / Should wildlife parks be fenced? We studied 60 African examples for an answer
Fences are among conservation's most controversial interventions. To some, they are essential for conserving wildlife, minimizing encroachment, and preventing the type of conflict that happens when humans come into contact ...
Phys.org / How the female baboon body has the final say in sperm selection
Just because a female olive baboon has mated with a specific male doesn't mean he will be the father of her offspring. According to a new study published in PLOS Biology, mate selection continues long after copulation as ...
Phys.org / Pigeons tend to respond 'at the edge of chaos,' study finds
If you were rewarded for following a particular pattern of behavior, wouldn't you keep doing it? The answer turns out to be more nuanced than you might think. In a new study, University of Iowa researchers report that pigeons ...
