Phys.org / How 'parachute science' is failing the world's tropical insects
Monash University scientists have developed a global framework to tackle a major blind spot in biodiversity conservation: Insects underpin ecosystems and food production but remain largely invisible to conservation efforts ...
Phys.org / GPS collars reveal secrets of the power struggle between lions and hyenas in the wild
Hidden deep in the bush, ranging over huge territories at speeds humans can't match and through terrain not even the most rugged vehicle can handle, hyenas and lions are hard to study. Now, new research using GPS collars ...
Medical Xpress / Hormone therapy use may lead to fewer mood disturbances during the menopause transition
Mood disturbances—depressed mood, irritability, anxiety and mental exhaustion—are common during the menopause transition, affecting up to 68% of women. Although hormone therapy (HT) is FDA-approved for hot flashes and genitourinary ...
Medical Xpress / Blood protein analysis could help diagnose rare diseases missed by genome sequencing
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects ...
Medical Xpress / Local neural wiring may set the brain's range of activity patterns
The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that receive, transmit and process information through electrical and chemical signals. Human thoughts, sensory perceptions and behaviors are known to ...
Medical Xpress / Physical activity may protect older adults from hearing loss
Researchers from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (COMD) have partnered with faculty from across the Arnold School and USC to complete a study investigating the connections among physical function, blood ...
Medical Xpress / Certain DNA signatures may reveal which prostate cancers are most likely to spread
Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer among men globally. Yet, we still know relatively little about why the disease develops or why some men live with it for years while it progresses aggressively in others.
Phys.org / More than numbers: First global dataset shows who is immigrating
As countries compete for skilled workers and grapple with aging populations and labor shortages, understanding who is moving across borders is increasingly important. A new study provides the first global data set of immigration ...
Phys.org / Local microbes persist in wine despite commercial yeast
A new study has demonstrated that regional microbial imprints can remain detectable under commercial winemaking conditions. The research, appearing in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, shows that inoculated fermentations ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered VR helps planners design better cities
Artificial intelligence (AI) combined with virtual reality (VR) could guide us through tomorrow's cities before they are even built, according to research in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution. Such models ...
Tech Xplore / Iron-based glass alloy designed to reduce energy losses in electric motors
Researchers from the European AM2SoftMag project have developed a new iron-based metallic glass that could lead to 3D-printed components for the manufacture of more efficient electric motors. The new alloy, designed by researchers ...
Phys.org / 25 years after 9/11, research traces changing landscape of religious bias
A quarter-century after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, religious bias in America has not disappeared, but the forces shaping it have changed.
