MEDICINE & HEALTHNeuroscientists examined neurons in a songbird's forebrain and discovered a remarkable landscape of physiology, auditory coding, and network roles that explains how birds and mammals behave.
For the first time, researchers were able to film how the rare, elusive giant squid hunts its prey 2,500 feet below the surface by using a jellyfish-like decoy emulating the glow of a jellyfish that has been proven to be irresistible to the giant cephalopods.
A study reveals that brown bears who rub up against more trees have more cubs and partners. The behavior is linked to being more attractive to the opposite sex.
Researchers attached a camera and sensors to the body of an adult female elephant seal and found that they spend approximately 80% of their day foraging for small fish in deep seas and only sleeping for one hour a day.
Scientists from the University of Arizona have developed a harmless bacteria strain that cures bad breath in dogs. It is modified to mimic the smell of pear and mint.
Michigan State University continues the longest-running experiment on germination. William James Beal's seed bottles have been dug after 140 years and will be buried again.
Multiple questions surround a fossil of a Jurassic squid eating a crab, as it was also consumed by a mysterious ancient predator and left for dead for millions of years.
A Pacific footballfish that lives in the deep parts of the ocean was found washed up on the beach of Crystal Cove State Park in California. What could have caused it to surface on the sand?
Recent studies suggest that the rise of sea level due to ice lands collapsing will double by 2100 if the Paris Climate Agreement won't be put to action. But a steady or lesser temperature of 2 degrees Celsius may prevent the melting of the Antarctica peninsula.
A new analysis showed that an area of forests the size of France had regrown naturally since 2000. That means it could store up to 5.9 gigatons of carbon emissions.
An expedition to the five lowest-point oceans has recently concluded. The updated mapping shows that Marianas Trench is still the deepest among the five major oceans.
Scientists recently came up with a way to solve a pair of long-lasting puzzles, which include the ages of individual fluid-bearing African diamonds and their parent material's chemistry.
