Antibiotics trigger bacterial teamwork, boosting survival through shared proteins
When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not "every man for himself." Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and colleagues from collaborating institutions have discovered that bacterial populations work as a team to survive antibiotics. The study, published in the jou
What people with intersex traits want you to know
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, around 63,300 Australians age 16 and older—0.3% of the overall population—know they were born with variations of sex characteristics. This means their bodies don't fit medical norms about how female or male bodies should look or f
Three ways climate action can be more inclusive for 1.3 billion disabled people
Imagine a global political summit that shapes the future of our planet, where one of the most populous countries in the world does not have a voice. This may seem unlikely, but currently 1.3 billion disabled people (nearly the population of China) do not have formal representatio
Japan's small cities may face higher care burdens under the compact city policy
As populations decline and age across the developed world, compact city strategies, which oversee the consolidation of urban facilities and guide residents toward transit-served hubs, have become mainstream policies. Yet most evidence about their benefits comes from cities that a
New data shows drop in Scotland's harbor seal numbers and sparks concern for gray seal pop
New research from the University of St Andrews has shown that there is a marked drop in the status of Scotland's harbor seal population, as well as in summer gray seal abundance, according to surveys conducted by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU). The report, commissioned by Na
Urban growth may slow by 2100, leaving big cities smaller than expected
The world is urbanizing fast. In 1975, about 11% of the global population lived in cities with more than 1 million inhabitants. "Today, we estimate that share to be about 24%," says Andrea Musso, junior fellow at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) and Ph.D. student at ETH Zurich.
Spatially explicit population model can improve pesticide risk assessments in agricultural
A team of international scientists and risk assessment experts has developed a foundational blueprint for an innovative population model designed to improve environmental safety testing for agricultural pesticides. The tool, named APODEMUS (A POpulation Dynamical spatially Explic
Prehistoric plague could have caused population collapse in Stone Age Europe
Did a major epidemic of plague trigger a prolonged collapse in Europe's population in late Neolithic times—from around 5,600 to 4,000 years ago?
390 gravitational wave detections reveal hidden population of black holes
Astronomers have released the largest gravitational wave catalog ever, revealing 161 new black hole collisions and pushing the total number of detections to 390. Among the highlights are the clearest gravitational wave signal ever recorded, the most accurate location of a black h
Can Bolivia’s historic big cat release help change jaguar conservation in the country?
Poaching and wildfires have driven the country’s jaguar population to a critical level, and until now even rescued animals faced life in captivity. A new approach to rehabilitation could change that – but critics are unsureA tentative paw emerged from a steel cage on to the sandy
More Canadian than the beaver? Scientists discover a western toad found only in Canada
The beaver and moose may be enduring symbols of Canadian wildlife, but neither is uniquely Canadian from a genetic perspective. But a team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has now discovered something rare: a genetically distinct and exclusively Canadian population of
