Starlings’ migratory behavior found to be inherited, not learned

Starlings’ migratory behavior found to be inherited, not learned

Young, naïve starlings are looking for their wintering grounds independently of experienced conspecifics. Starlings are highly social birds throughout the year, but this does not mean that they copy the migration route from each other. Young, naïve starlings are looking for their wintering grounds independently of experienced conspecifics.

Webb captures a staggering quasar-galaxy merger in the remote universe

An international research group led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) and comprising 34 research institutes and universities worldwide utilized the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to witness the dramatic interaction between a quasar inside the PJ308–21 system and two massive satellite galaxies in the distant universe. An…

Repurposed technology used to probe new regions of Mars’ atmosphere

Repurposed technology used to probe new regions of Mars’ atmosphere

Using the repurposed equipment, a team including Imperial College London researchers have measured parts of the Martian atmosphere that were previously impossible to probe. This includes areas that can block radio signals if not properly accounted for—crucial for future Mars habitation missions. Using the repurposed equipment, a team including Imperial College London researchers have measured parts…

Study shows current strategies are ineffective in controlling Salmonella Dublin in Danish cattle

In a recent study published in the Journal of Dairy Science, researchers from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH), the University of Copenhagen, and SEGES have shown that despite stringent movement restrictions among Danish cattle farms, Salmonella Dublin continues to propagate, indicating that current strategies are insufficient to curb the spread of the disease. In a recent…

Should we ditch big exam halls? Research shows how high ceilings are associated with a lower score

Can you remember your last in-person exam? You’re waiting outside the venue with your identification, pens and back-up pens. Everyone is nervously looking at their notes or avoiding eye contact. Can you remember your last in-person exam? You’re waiting outside the venue with your identification, pens and back-up pens.

Study finds limited highlighting boosts reading comprehension

If you scroll through the average student’s digital textbook or reading, you will probably see multi-colored streaks scattered everywhere. However, new research reveals that excessive highlighting may do more harm than good. If you scroll through the average student’s digital textbook or reading, you will probably see multi-colored streaks scattered everywhere.

Researchers reveal how plants protect themselves from viral infection by regulating deacetylation

Researchers reveal how plants protect themselves from viral infection by regulating deacetylation

In a paper published in Science Bulletin, a team of Chinese scientists demonstrated that TaSRT2 recognized viral protein P153 and induced wheat resistance to CWMV through inhibition of the TaSRT2-mediated deacetylation of H3K9ac and H3K79ac, which eventually activated the expression of defense-related genes TaLRR1, TaRGA3, and TaWRKY41. In a paper published in Science Bulletin, a team…
