In recent years, researchers have made significant scientific advancements by decoding the entire genetic blueprint – the genome – of several organisms, including humans. That work, however, is only a ...

Ecological communities are shaped by a complex array of direct and indirect interactions. These interactions are spatially and temporally dynamic and can be challenging to disentangle. Relationships ...

Categorizing species can get hazy at small, microbial scales. After all, the classical definition of species as interbreeding individuals with sexually viable offspring doesn't apply to asexual ...

On the move: lymphocytes are chemotactic when in groups. (Courtesy: iStockphoto/selvanegra) A simple model that explains why clusters of some living cells will move ...

Spatial metabolomics faces three primary challenges in food-medicine homology research: the "black box" of component interactions, poorly characterized spatiotemporal dynamics, and the complexity of ...

A six-year analysis of marine microbes in coastal California waters has overturned long-held assumptions about how the ocean's smallest organisms interact. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

otherwise processing primary metabolites and it is the unusual chemical that circumvents these mechanisms to cause toxicity. Secondary chemicals are by definition taxonomically restricted in ...

The life sciences focus on patterns, processes, and relationships of living organisms. Life is self-contained, self-sustaining, self-replicating, and evolving, operating according to laws of the ...

(Beyond Pesticides, February 25, 2025) A literature review of over 90 scientific articles in Agriculture documents microplastics’ (MPs) increase in the bioavailability, persistence, and toxicity of ...
