In an era of increased urbanization, the value of green spaces in urban areas is becoming more apparent. A recent study has identified a wide range of benefits connected with green neighborhoods, including mental and physical health. The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) undertook a large-scale study highlighting greenery’s value in [...]
Plant cold specialists, such as spoonworts, have adjusted exceptionally well to the cold conditions of the Ice Ages. The changing cold and warm eras resulted in the emergence of diverse species and a large expansion of their genome. This study investigates how these plants have adjusted to their habitats, the [...]
Significant sections of the great fabric of fungal diversity remain unexplored, particularly among insects and fungi. These organisms, which include millions of species that have yet to be cataloged by science, constitute a new frontier for investigation and conservation in the face of accelerating global biodiversity loss. Academy Research Fellow [...]
The white rhino conservation is essential due to its threatened status and genetic diversity concerns. Advanced reproduction treatments, particularly IVF, are now critical to preserving and rejuvenating their population. Southern white rhinos were nearly extinct by the late nineteenth century, with populations as low as 20 animals due to widespread [...]
A revolutionary study has discovered unexpected survival methods used by fish of coral reefs living in the warmest waters on Earth, the Arabian Gulf. This study, led by John Burt, Co-Principal Researcher at the Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (ACCESS) at NYU Abu Dhabi, and Jacob Johansen, [...]
A novel discovery in concrete manufacture by the University of Northwestern’s team of engineers provides dual benefits, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment while maintaining if not increasing, concrete strength. This new technique, which employs a carbonated water-based solution throughout manufacture, has the potential to greatly impact worldwide efforts to mitigate climate [...]
Farmers in the United States are dealing with the catastrophic consequences of climate change, including severe temperatures, drought, prolonged rainfall, floods, and erosion. These difficulties considerably impact crop productivity, resulting in a growing curiosity about regenerative agriculture. This agricultural method tries to improve soil health through a variety of techniques. It [...]
In a revolutionary research published in the journal Frontiers in Science, researchers claimed that conserving an additional 1.2% of the world’s land may avoid the vast majority of anticipated plant and animal extinctions. This project, anticipated to cost around $263 billion, attempts to address the critical need for conservation in [...]
Nature reserves and other protected places are crucial to biodiversity conservation. These zones are intended to preserve ecosystems, conserve endangered species, and sustain ecological equilibrium. However, there is persistent disagreement over whether these conservation initiatives are at the cost of local economic development. A new study, published on June 20 [...]
Over many years, researchers examining elephants have noted an odd phenomenon: when an elephant speaks to a group, all of the others answer, but sometimes only one individual does. This has given rise to an intriguing hypothesis: may elephants speak to each other using the same kind of names? A [...]
