Avian supergene study explores the evolutionary paradox behind the unusual mating strategies of the ruff

Avian supergene study explores the evolutionary paradox behind the unusual mating strategies of the ruff

In the colorful world of avian courtship‚ the ruff (Calidris pugnax) is in a league of its own. Breeding in marshes and wet meadows across Eurasia‚ the males of this medium-sized sandpiper species are well-known for their distinctive mating strategies‚ which range from flamboyant territorial displays to cunning mimicry.

Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda is warmer and more acidic than ever‚ 40 years of observation show

Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda is warmer and more acidic than ever‚ 40 years of observation show

Decade-long ocean warming that impacts ocean circulation‚ a decrease in oxygen levels that contributes to changes in salinification and nutrient supply‚ and ocean acidification are just some of the challenges the world's oceans are facing.

Novel insights into antibody aggregation expected to open up new avenues for research and therapeutic applications

Novel insights into antibody aggregation expected to open up new avenues for research and therapeutic applications

Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are Y-shaped proteins that recognize and neutralize specific pathogens. Their ability to target specific molecules or cells has made them promising candidates for future drug development. However‚ their light chains—parts of the antibody that contribute to recognizing and binding to specific antigens—misfold and aggregate‚ leading to amyloidosis‚ a condition that brings about complications and tissue dysfunction in the body.

Spinning up control: Propeller shape helps direct nanoparticles‚ researchers say

Spinning up control: Propeller shape helps direct nanoparticles‚ researchers say

Self-propelled nanoparticles could potentially advance drug delivery and lab-on-a-chip systems—but they are prone to go rogue with random‚ directionless movements. Now‚ an international team of researchers has developed an approach to rein in the synthetic particles.

How 'listening' to archaeological sites could shed light on the past

How 'listening' to archaeological sites could shed light on the past

Until recently‚ archaeologists have mostly relied on what they can see at the sites of ancient ruins to unlock the secrets of the past. But lately‚ new methods have started to allow researchers to use other senses to explore these sites in different ways.

Nanoparticle flu vaccine design shows promise in early tests

Nanoparticle flu vaccine design shows promise in early tests

Existing flu vaccines provide only limited‚ seasonal protection because they target highly changeable proteins on the virus. Scripps Research scientists have now designed a vaccine that should work broadly against influenza A strains—one of the two types of flu virus that normally circulate in humans.
