A new study that examines the genetics behind the bitter taste of some sorghum plants and one of Africa’s most reviled bird species illustrates how human genetics, crops and the environment influence one another in the process of plant domestication.

New research shows that for every £1 invested in pollinator monitoring schemes, at least £1.50 can be saved, from otherwise costly independent research projects. 

Close friendships improve the survival chances of rhesus macaques, new research shows.

As the climate changes, myriad animal populations are being impacted. In particular, Arctic sea-ice is in decline, causing polar bears in the Barents Sea region to alter their feeding and hunting habits. 

The identification of natural carbon sinks and understanding how they work is critical if humans are to mitigate global climate change. 

New study reveals that 90 percent of urban dust comes from dry lakebeds.

The actual amount of precipitation is generally underestimated in the case of snowfall. Meteorologists are working on methods that are already in use to measure precipitation more accurately.

The annual Carbon Budget report found that CO2 emissions are projected to rise again for 2019, but at slower rate than in previous years, says atmospheric sciences professor Atul Jain.

Fall-applied anhydrous ammonia may not fulfill as much of corn’s nitrogen needs as previously assumed.

The research suggests that scientists are not studying the impacts of urban growth in the right places.
