Americans Believe Climate Change Will Impact the Food Ecosystem
Research America
JUNE 27, 2024
A new survey commissioned by Research!America and the American Heart Association found that roughly half of Americans believe climate change will result in higher food costs, lower water quality, and an impact on food availability. The finding was part of a large, nationally representative survey conducted in late May, early June that captured Americans’ view on food, diet, health, and nutrition.

Light-controlled artificial maple seeds could monitor the environment even in hard-to-reach locations
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Researchers have developed a tiny robot replicating the aerial dance of falling maple seeds. In the future, this robot could be used for real-time environmental monitoring or delivery of small samples even in inaccessible terrain such as deserts, mountains or cliffs, or the open sea. This technology could be a game changer for fields such as search-and-rescue, endangered species studies, or infrastructure monitoring.

Climate change and sea level rise pose an acute challenge for cities with combined sewer systems
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Older coastal cities, like Philadelphia, New York and Boston are at risk of being inundated by untreated sewage during floods. Due in part to the design of their combined sewer systems and in part due to sea level rise, these cities could be facing a growing public health crisis as climate change also drives more extreme precipitation. The group recently published research that modeled the potential extent of the problem in a section of the coastal city of Camden, New Jersey, and the effectivene
Why the harsh Snowball Earth kick-started our earliest multicellular ancestors
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Why did multicellularity arise? Solving that mystery may help pinpoint life on other planets and explain the vast diversity and complexity seen on Earth today, from sea sponges to redwoods to human society. A new article shows how specific physical conditions -- especially ocean viscosity and resource deprivation -- during the global glaciation period known as Snowball Earth could have driven eukaryotes to turn multicellular.

New mathematical model sheds light on the absence of breastfeeding in male mammals
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Mathematicians ave put forward a hypothesis which suggests that the reason male mammals don't breastfeed might be driven by the rich community of microbes that lives in breast milk and which plays an important part in establishing the gut microbiome of the infant.
Long-standing marine mystery solved: How algae get nitrogen to grow
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Scientists shed light on an unexpected partnership: A marine diatom and a bacterium that can account for a large share of nitrogen fixation in vast regions of the ocean. This symbiosis likely plays a key role for global marine nitrogen fixation and productivity, and thus uptake of carbon dioxide. The newly-discovered bacterial symbiont is closely related to the nitrogen-fixing Rhizobia which live in partnership with many crop plants and may also open up new avenues for engineering nitrogen-fixin
Last surviving woolly mammoths were inbred but not doomed to extinction
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
The last population of woolly mammoths was isolated on Wrangel Island off the coast of Siberia 10,000 years ago, when sea levels rose and cut the mountainous island off from the mainland. A new genomic analysis reveals that the isolated mammoths, who lived on the island for the subsequent 6,000 years, originated from at most 8 individuals but grew to 200--300 individuals within 20 generations.
Prehistoric 'Pompeii' discovered: Most pristine trilobite fossils ever found shake up scientific understanding of the long extinct group
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Researchers have described some of the best-preserved three-dimensional trilobite fossils ever discovered. The fossils, which are more than 500 million years old, were collected in the High Atlas of Morocco and are being referred to by scientists as 'Pompeii' trilobites due to their remarkable preservation in ash.

By restricting radiant heat flows between buildings and their environment to specific wavelengths, coatings engineered from common materials can achieve energy savings and thermal comfort that goes beyond what traditional building envelopes can achieve.
New twists on tornadoes: Earth scientist studies why U.S. has so many tornadoes
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
Across the Midwest during the warmer months, studying the sky for signs of storms and tornadoes becomes one of the most popular pastimes. Working at the intersection of climate science and meteorology and using modeling, scientists are looking at the big picture of what causes severe storms and tornadoes -- and what dictates where they occur.
Wolves reintroduced to Isle Royale temporarily affect other carnivores, humans have influence as well

JUNE 27, 2024
In a rare opportunity to study carnivores before and after wolves were reintroduced to their ranges, researchers found that the effects of wolves on Isle Royale have been only temporary. And even in the least-visited national park, humans had a more significant impact on carnivores' lives.
Antarctic ice shelves hold twice as much meltwater as previously thought

JUNE 27, 2024
Slush -- water-soaked snow -- makes up more than half of all meltwater on the Antarctic ice shelves during the height of summer, yet is poorly accounted for in regional climate models. The findings could have profound implications for ice shelf stability and sea level rise.
The density difference of sub-Neptunes finally deciphered
Science Daily: Pharmacology News
JUNE 27, 2024
The majority of stars in our galaxy are home to planets. The most abundant are the sub-Neptunes, planets between the size of Earth and Neptune. Calculating their density poses a problem for scientists: depending on the method used to measure their mass, two populations are highlighted, the dense and the less dense. Is this due to an observational bias or the physical existence of two distinct populations of sub-Neptunes?
