Researchers have developed a new software package that can accurately model how sound, water, or light waves are scattered when they meet complex particle configurations — which can help in the development of materials that block or deflect waves

Heatwaves (+40º) induced strong reductions in antennal responses to floral scents in bees, disrupting the chemical communication between plants and pollinators

Bees are increasingly under threat due to environmental degradation caused by changes in land use

A recent study examines how solitary humpback whales manufacture bubble-nets and manipulate this unique tool in a variety of ways to maximise their food intake.

By teaching freshwater crocodiles to associate cane toads with a bout of food poisoning using baits injected with a nausea-inducing chemical, scientists in Australia have prevented deaths in areas where cane toads were arriving and reduced deaths in areas where toads were abundant.

Nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of parasitism (2021)

Male dance moves that catch a woman's eye

In a recent study, scientists have found evidence that in the presence of predators, killifish eggs display local adaptation in embryonic plasticity at the population scale.

Social organization in a flatworm:parasites form soldier and reproductive castes

Palaeontologists have described a new genus and species of pseudosuchian archosaur, Benggwigwishingasuchus eremicarminis, from the Favret Formation of Nevada, revealing that archosauriforms occupied coastal regions globally during the Middle Triassic.
