Eating pheasant killed using lead shot is likely to expose consumers to raised levels of lead in their diet, even if the meat is carefully prepared to remove the shotgun pellets and the most damaged tissue.
A new study proves that a single introduction of 24 rabbits shipped from England in 1859 caused the infamous invasion and argues that wild genetic traits gave these animals a devastating advantage over earlier arrivals.
After centuries without volcanic activity, Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula sprang to life in 2021 when lava erupted from the Fagradalsfjall volcano. New research involving the University of Cambridge helps us see what is going on deep beneath the volcano by reading the chemistry of lavas and volcanic gases almost as they were erupted.
Researchers have conducted a new analysis of the origins of ‘bird-hipped’ dinosaurs – the group which includes iconic species such as Triceratops – and found that they likely evolved from a group of animals known as silesaurs, which were first identified two decades ago.
New research finds living against our internal body clocks can damage long-term health by altering gut and brain interactions.
Texas A&M researchers have created a new dataset that quantifies trends of evaporative water loss from 1.4 million global lakes and artificial reservoirs.
Texas A&M College of Medicine researchers have answered a major question about how the neocortex develops, offering insights into the underlying causes of intellectual disabilities.
Texas A&M AgriLife algorithms can help producers prevent economic damage.
A Texas A&M analysis on the effects of workplace displacement during Hurricane Harvey provides important insights into employee performance while working remotely.
DNA damage caused by factors such as ultraviolet radiation affect nearly three-quarters of all stem cell lines derived from human skin cells, say Cambridge researchers, who argue that whole genome sequencing is essential for confirming if cell lines are usable.
New research co-authored by a Texas A&M scientist analyzed placement of stream gauges that inform important global water datasets.
Researchers have developed floating ‘artificial leaves’ that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a large scale at sea.
A Texas A&M team is developing an intracavity device that will allow doctors to eliminate leftover cancer cells during surgery, reducing the need for additional treatments such as chemotherapy.
A new paper from researchers behind an unprecedented drought experiment at the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 underscores the importance of molecular compounds often associated with fragrance in identifying when an ecosystem is in distress.
Co-authored by Texas A&M scientists, new research shows how levels of black carbon and dust are related to climate and monsoons.
Results of a recent study indicate optimism in older adults can help decrease the negative effects physical limitations may have on life satisfaction.
The first ancient herpes genomes to be sequenced suggest that the virus became widespread with Bronze Age migrations into Europe and possibly the emergence of kissing.
University of Arizona researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.
Scales developed by a Texas A&M professor could inform future interventions for getting adults to spend more time outdoors.
A study of 29 European lakes has found that some naturally-occurring lake bacteria grow faster and more efficiently on the remains of plastic bags than on natural matter like leaves and twigs.
