A tidy-up of a New Zealand storage room led to the sale of naming rights for three new-to-science Galápagos Islands species.

After resigning from the University of New England last year, Geoffrey Bove continues to study the effects of massage on rats in a facility he set up in his house.

Researchers find that the animals can account for others’ behavior and circumstances in their strategies.

The G-baToN prototype transfers GFP between cells, illuminating cell-cell contacts.

Researchers say they have discovered a novel species of comb jelly using video footage, but they couldn’t recover a physical specimen. Is that enough?

With modern technologies unearthing novel bacterial and archaeal species by the dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, manually naming them all is no longer practical, scientists say.

Water bears can survive extreme temperatures, oxidative stress, UV radiation, and more, but as work in climate change biology shows, they’re not invulnerable to everything.

Recent research shows that the insect’s microbial community is central to protecting the hive from invaders—both big and small.

The African Ancestry Neuroscience Research Initiative plans to boost inclusion in genomic studies and support a more diverse generation of neuroscientists.

Images from a Cold War spy satellite help researchers piece together the effects of land-use decisions in Kazakhstan.

Using their silk threads as a catapult, members of a family of orb-weaving arachnids rocket themselves and their webs through the air to capture prey.

Early investigations of the microbial communities in and around sunken boats reveal that there are patterns to where bacteria settle.

Some viruses, possibly even SARS-CoV-2, can sneak into the brain through the nose. Recent studies show that microglia are ready for them when they do.

Researchers tease out the effects of the two cravings by having participants gamble for the chance to satisfy them.

The analysis adds new details to the picture of migration and mixing in a diverse country.

Microscopic analysis of charred, shapeless lumps from archaeological sites revealed ancient cereal grains that may have undergone malting to make beer.

An isotopic analysis of eggshell beads dating back more than 30,000 years indicates that they helped build networks that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

Using pigs as human proxies, forensic entomologists reveal how bodies in vehicles decompose differently from those dumped outside.

While concern over SARS-CoV-2 in dogs and cats has captured attention, scientists have also been investigating whether pets can transmit multidrug-resistant bacteria to us.
