With genetic tweaks, researchers can coax corn and other cereals to take in more iron, but sometimes the plants rebel.

In plants ranging from liverworts to wheat, parasitic water molds build intracellular structures analogous to the nutrient-exchanging structures of symbiotic fungi.

Authors of a small study say the two abilities likely evolved in tandem.

Transposon mutagenesis give scientists a rare look at the most important interactions within microbial communities.

The sturgeon restoration study’s outcome won’t be known for decades.

In addition to detecting unseen organisms in the ocean, studies of environmental DNA can shed light on the genetic structure of marine populations.

Large-scale genomic studies of anorexia and bulimia are turning up clues about the conditions’ development and persistence.

A perception of sustained focus may actually be the result of cycles of fluctuating rather than continuous neural activity, according to new behavioral and neurological data from studies in humans and macaques.

After release from rehab, bottlenose Billie started walking on water with her tail. Studying how the behavior spread could offer clues about how animals learn from each other.
