Orangutan male success not due to dominance alone‚ study finds

Orangutan male success not due to dominance alone‚ study finds

In primates‚ the biggest‚ bossiest males usually get to father the most offspring; and for a long time it was thought that this rule applied to orangutans too. Male orangutans openly compete; and it's the older males with hefty cheek pads‚ known as "flanges‚" who usually get their way when they want to mate. But for wild orangutans‚ nobody knew for sure which males actually won the ultimate prize of fathering offspring.

Six-million-year-old groundwater pool discovered deep under Sicilian mountains

Six-million-year-old groundwater pool discovered deep under Sicilian mountains

A multi-institutional team of geoscientists has discovered a deep‚ ancient underground pool of fresh water underneath part of the Sicilian mountains. In their study‚ reported in the journal Communications Earth &; Environment‚ the group used publicly available data gathered from oil discovery efforts to study the groundwater in and around the Gela formation beneath the mountains on the island of Sicily.

Study suggests climate played a crucial role in human migration from Africa

Study suggests climate played a crucial role in human migration from Africa

About 6 million years ago‚ in the deep forests of eastern Africa‚ something spectacular happened. Chimpanzees‚ our closest relative in the animal kingdom‚ evolved in one direction‚ while our earliest ancestors continued in another.

Improving thunderstorm prediction by watching lightning flashes from space

Improving thunderstorm prediction by watching lightning flashes from space

In a study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences (AAS) on Dec. 6‚ Prof. Ming Xue and his team from the University of Oklahoma spearhead research focusing on harnessing the power of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite "R-series" (GOES-R) lightning flash observations to improve thunderstorm forecasting through numerical weather prediction models.

Adapting to hypoxia: Zooplankton influence efficiency of biological carbon pump in the Humboldt Current

Adapting to hypoxia: Zooplankton influence efficiency of biological carbon pump in the Humboldt Current

Marine organisms play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Phytoplankton absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequester it in organic matter that sinks to the deep ocean where it can be stored for long periods of time. Until now‚ this process—the biological carbon pump—was thought to be particularly efficient in oxygen-poor areas.

Bimetallic alloy nanocatalyst boosts efficient ammonia production with potential for carbon-free energy

Bimetallic alloy nanocatalyst boosts efficient ammonia production with potential for carbon-free energy

Ammonia (NH3) is regarded as a promising carbon-free energy carrier‚ but its energy-intensive production process still challenges global scientists. A research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently engineered a bimetallic alloy as an ultrathin nanocatalyst that can deliver greatly improved electrochemical performance for generating ammonia from nitrate (NO3-)‚ offering great potential for obtaining carbon-neutral fuel in the future.

Study of Philippine sea cucumber shows it may have biomedical applications

Study of Philippine sea cucumber shows it may have biomedical applications

A small team of marine scientists and chemists at the University of the Philippines‚ The Marine Science Institute‚ has found that a type of sea cucumber found locally may have biomedical applications. In their study‚ reported in the open-access journal PLOS ONE‚ the group conducted a metabolomic study of Stichopus cf. horrens‚ a species of sea cucumber found off the coast of the Philippines.

Structure of a central component of the human immune system revealed

A central component of the human immune system‚ the NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in fighting off infections. However‚ its chronic activation is also implicated in a variety of common diseases‚ such as Alzheimer's‚ Parkinson's‚ multiple sclerosis‚ atherosclerosis‚ gout‚ and type II diabetes.

Research pieces ancient ecosystems together to reveal new details about the end-Triassic mass extinction

Research pieces ancient ecosystems together to reveal new details about the end-Triassic mass extinction

Startling new insights into the catastrophic impact of one of the most devastating events in Earth's history have been revealed by a team led by researchers with the USC Dornsife College of Letters‚ Arts and Sciences. More than deepening our understanding of the end-Triassic mass extinction‚ their findings offer critical lessons for today's environmental challenges.

Researchers elucidate how IGF2's secretory pathway mediates muscle stem cell differentiation

Researchers elucidate how IGF2's secretory pathway mediates muscle stem cell differentiation

A research team led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) recently revealed how TMED10‚ a type of transmembrane protein‚ regulates muscle stem cell differentiation through mediating the secretion of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2). This provides potential therapeutic strategies to downregulate IGF2 signaling by inhibiting its secretion.
