| Indian fossils support new hypothesis for origin of hoofed mammals Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST New research describes a fossil family that illuminates the origin of perissodactyls - the group of mammals that includes horses, rhinos, and tapirs. It provides insights on the controversial question of where these hoofed animals evolved, concluding that they arose in or near present day India. |
| Variety in the migratory behavior of blackcaps Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST Through a large-scale study with so-called geolocators, researchers were able to uncover some of the mysteries surrounding the phenomenon of the blackcap's bird migration. |
| Rivers melt Arctic ice, warming air and ocean Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST A new study shows that increased heat from Arctic rivers is melting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and warming the atmosphere. |
| Mystery of glacial lake floods solved Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST A long-standing mystery in the study of glaciers was recently and serendipitously solved. A trigger was identified for some of the largest floods on Earth -- those emerging suddenly and unpredictably from beneath glaciers or ice caps. |
| Study projects more rainfall in Florida during flooding season Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST A new study projects an increase in Florida's late summertime rainfall with rising Atlantic Ocean temperatures. |
| Migration and molt affect how birds change their colors Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST Before their big journey, many birds molt their bright feathers, replacing them with a more subdued palette. Watching this molt led scientists to wonder how feather color changes relate to the migrations many birds undertake twice each year. |
| New findings for viral research on bicycle crashes at railroad crossings Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST A new path design for bicycles at a railway crossings cuts bike crashes. A jughandle design realigns the bicycle approach to about 60 degrees, virtually eliminating the risk of a rider's tire being caught in the gap between the rail and the pavement, a cause of serious crashes. This significant finding varies from previous design recommendations of a 90-degree approach. |
| How cell processes round up and dump damaged proteins Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST Reporting unexpected processes, chemists say they have discovered how an enzyme known as UCH37 regulates a cell's waste management system. |
| Why consumers think pretty food is healthier Posted: 07 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST People tend to think that pretty-looking food is healthier (e.g., more nutrients, less fat) and more natural (e.g., purer, less processed) than ugly-looking versions of the same food. |
| Large-area flexible organic photodiodes can compete with silicon devices Posted: 05 Nov 2020 03:38 PM PST The performance of flexible large-area organic photodiodes has advanced to the point that they can now offer advantages over conventional silicon photodiode technology, particularly for applications such as biomedical imaging and biometric monitoring that require detecting low levels of light across large areas. |
| Past is key to predicting future climate, scientists say Posted: 05 Nov 2020 03:38 PM PST A group of climate experts make the case for including paleoclimate data in the development of climate models. Such models are used globally to assess the impacts of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, predict scenarios for future climate and propose strategies for mitigation. |
