Scientists have found that trees in cities respond to higher temperatures differently than those in forests, potentially masking climate impacts. […]
The findings provide new drug targets for stopping the infection’s spread. […]
Findings may help predict how rain and irrigation systems launch particles and pathogens from watery surfaces, with implications for industry, agriculture, and public health. […]
Assistant Professor César Terrer discusses pioneering volcano research to track carbon dynamics in tropical forests. […]
Pathogen removal and ejection from moving surfaces and plant leaves How sessile water droplets detach from moving surfaces and leaves might not be a common everyday thought. To scientists interested in how diseases spread from one […]
New findings illuminate how Prochlorococcus’ nightly “cross-feeding” plays a role in regulating the ocean’s capacity to cycle and store carbon. […]
A new study of the microbiome finds intestinal bacterial interact much less often with viruses that trigger immunity updates than bacteria in the lab. […]
A new study shows the carbon-capturing phytoplankton colonized the ocean by rafting on particles of chitin. […]
A new analysis reveals how Staphylococcus aureus gains mutations that allow it to colonize eczema patches. […]
Prochlorococcus, the world’s most abundant photosynthetic organism, reveals a gene-transfer mechanism that may be key to its abundance and diversity. From the tropics to the poles, from the sea surface to hundreds of feet below, the […]
A new study links very dry and very humid indoor environments with worse Covid-19 outcomes. We know proper indoor ventilation is key to reducing the spread of Covid-19. Now, a study by MIT researchers finds that […]
New analysis takes account of natural fluctuations and predictability to assess which parts of an ecosystem are most threatened by climate change and other disruptions. Wildfires, floods, pollution, and overfishing are among the many disruptions that […]
The maintenance of biodiversity is a central theme in ecology and conservation biology. Since the birth of Island biogeography in the 1960’s, a major puzzle for scientists has been how multiple species that are competing for […]
Researchers reveal how an algae-eating bacterium solves an environmental engineering challenge. Cooperation is a core part of life for many organisms, ranging from microbes to complex multicellular life. It emerges when individuals share resources or partition […]
