Study Finds Male Cricket Songs Boost Female Cricket Social InteractiImaons

Ecology, Plants & Animals /

Over the past 10 to 20 years, most Hawaiian field crickets (Teleogryllus oceanicus) have lost their ability to produce mating songs because of a wing mutation known as “flatwing.” While this mutation protects males from a parasitic fly that locates them through their song—making it largely advantageous—researchers are now examining how its swift spread has […]

Controlled Burns Endanger The Survival Of Skinks and Other Wildlife

Ecology, Plants & Animals /

As Australia and the world face the challenges of global warming and rising bushfire threats, ecologists at the University of South Australia are focusing on how prescribed burns affect native wildlife. In a recent study published in the International Journal of Wildland Fire, researchers examined the peak temperatures lizards may encounter during prescribed (controlled) burns

Males To Blame: Only 1.4% Of Female Frog Calls Are Known

Ecology, Plants & Animals /

Much like in other species—no blame intended—male frogs dominate the soundscape with their loud calls, actively drowning out the quieter voices of females, whose vocalizations we’ve identified in only 1.4% of cases. Surprisingly, new research from Brazil’s Universidade de São Paulo reveals that scientists have documented the calls of only a tiny fraction of female

Ferns Could Potentially Return To An Earlier, More Basic Form

Ecology, Plants & Animals /

Most people are familiar with Rudolph Zallinger’s illustration “The March of Progress” which depicts human evolution from the early primate ancestor Dryopithecus to modern Homo sapiens. While evolution is a captivating process, it doesn’t always move in a straight line as Zallinger’s image suggests. The notion that evolution progresses in a one-way path from simple

Durable and Affordable Home 3D-Printed in Only Five Days

Agriculture, Ecology /

This remarkable newly finished project demonstrates that 3D-printed homes can withstand extreme weather conditions and seismic activity. Constructed in just five days, it also cost significantly less than a traditional brick-and-mortar home. Located in Almaty, Kazakhstan, this unnamed house is hailed as Central Asia’s inaugural 3D-printed residence. BM Partners designed it, and it was constructed

The World’s Oldest Skin Discovered in an Exceptionally Rare Fossil find.

Ecology, History, Science, Social /

Scientists have found the oldest skin fossils, which are from a time long before dinosaurs existed. These samples, discovered in a cave in Oklahoma, show that reptile scales have barely changed in 286 million years. Most fossils in museums are bones because bones take a long time to decompose, giving them more time to fossilize.

The Impact of Climate Change on the Transmission of Malaria

Biology, Ecology, Molecular Biology, Science /

A recent study suggests that a novel model for forecasting the influence of climate change on malaria transmission in Africa might pave the way for more precise interventions aimed at controlling the disease. Previous techniques relied on rainfall measurements to infer the presence of surface water conducive to mosquito breeding. However, a study led by
