In the dark waters of Lake Superior, a species of fish that has been adapted to regain a genetic trait that may have helped their ancient ancestors see in the ocean, according to a study. Research is focused on kiyis, who inhabit Lake Superior at depths of around 80 to over 200 meters. Known to […]
Research into the poisonous poison of the tiger rattlesnake drives the use of genetic-scientific techniques – ScienceDaily
The tiger rattlesnake possesses the simplest and most poisonous venom of all rattlesnake species, and new research from a team led by a biologist from the University of South Florida may explain the genetics behind the predator's fearsome bite. Published in the new edition of "Procedure of the National Academy of Sciences, " Mark Margres, […]
A research team from INRS has developed a process for the electrolytic treatment of wastewater that breaks down microplastics at the source – ScienceDaily
A research team from the National Institute for Research (INRS) has developed a process for the electrolytic treatment of wastewater that breaks down microplastics at the source. The results of this research were published in the environmental pollution Diary. Wastewater can release high concentrations of microplastics into the environment. These small particles, less than 5mm, […]
Hard-to-crack research shows how plant roots invade hard soil – ScienceDaily
Scientists have discovered a signal that prevents roots from growing in hard soils that can be "turned off" so they can penetrate compacted soil – a discovery that could help plants grow in even the most damaged soils . An international research team led by scientists from the Future Food Beacon at the University of […]
Cancer research shows how mutations in a given gene cause different types of disease – ScienceDaily
Leading cancer experts at the University of Birmingham have resolved a longstanding question of how different types of mutations in just one gene cause different types of disease. A team of scientists at the University's Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, led by Professor Constanze Bonifer, studied a gene called RUNX1, which is responsible for […]
New research is a clear warning of emissions from potent greenhouse gases – ScienceDaily
Wetlands are the dominant natural source of atmospheric methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is second only to carbon dioxide in terms of its importance for climate change. It is expected that anthropogenic climate change will increase methane emissions from wetlands and lead to further warming. However, feedback on methane in wetlands has not been […]
Floramedia research green plant material labels
Floramedia is continuously researching sustainable plant label materials.
Research Suggests Stress Levels May Be Key to Fawn Survival – ScienceDaily
The very first study of the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the saliva of newborn white-tailed deer fawns produced thoughtful results, suggesting Penn State researchers that predation is not the only thing that happens in killing calves. "We believe the hormone provides a way to assess factors in the environment that affect fawns, […]
The study should make research into the promising substance ScienceDaily much easier
For several years, an active ingredient from the leaves of an ornamental plant has been considered a possible precursor to a new group of potent active ingredients. However, so far, it has been very troublesome to manufacture in large quantities. That could change now: Researchers at the University of Bonn have identified a bacterium that […]
Drought in Hawaii in winter in El Niño? Not always according to new research – ScienceDaily
El Niño events have long been seen as drivers of low winter and spring rainfall in Hawaii, resulting in a six-month drought in the rainy season. However, a recent study by University of Hawaii researchers at the Manoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) found that the link between the Hawaiian winter […]
