Newly identified 'saprotropism' helps roots avoid decaying plant matter—but not animal dec

Decaying matter shapes life in soil, but it can also create hostile zones for growing roots. Professor Jiří Friml of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and international collaborators have now identified "saprotropism," a root response that guides plants away

Mouse found near 7,000 meters may rewrite limits of mammal survival

A tiny mouse living nearly 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) above sea level in the Andes is helping scientists rethink the limits of life on Earth. The animal, a leaf-eared mouse, is the focus of a new international study co-authored by McMaster University researchers, revealing how ma
