Experts explain where nature conservation can make the greatest difference in saving endan

Old oak trees and semi-natural grasslands are very important for a large number of species that risk disappearing as habitats decline. In a new study, researchers at Linköping University in Sweden present their findings on the habitat amount needed. The results can help nature co

This newly discovered ballista spider catapults ants into a deadly trap

Scientists have discovered a “ballista spider” that builds a spring-powered silk trap designed specifically to catch aggressive green tree ants. The ant unknowingly triggers the mechanism itself, launching into the spider’s web in one of nature’s most extraordinary hunting strate

ROS-producing enzymes guide plant cell division and tissue patterning, gene-editing study

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling. While ROS are established as essential signaling molecules in various organisms, t

Primate evolution kept aging rates stable for 25 million years despite lifespan gaps

Biologists group animals with similar traits into broad categories called orders. Despite their similarities, animal species in the same order can have very different average lifespans.
