But there has rarely been analysis of whether the ecological health and functionality of these ecosystems are similarly degraded.
A study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General on ‘language modality’ – the written or spoken form in which language is presented – finds that people think more intuitively when responding to spoken information and more analytically when the information is written down.
A new study published in Nature: Scientific Reports is the first analysis of transgender and cisgender economic behaviour, and the first to consider whether sex assigned at birth plays a significant part in economic decisions.
A largescale new study offers a new approach to treating in type 2 diabetes – that puts patients in charge of their own medication.
Findings can spark future evaluation of language development outcomes for at-risk children of depressed mothers.
Gadgets that emit small electrical pulses can drastically cut the number of sharks and stingrays caught accidentally on fishing lines, new research shows.
If current emissions levels persist, there is now a 50% chance that global warming of 1.5°C will be exceeded in nine years.
MU research shows managers must step up to encourage more employees to be leaders, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of the workplace.
The immunotherapy developed by Texas A&M researchers enables precise tumor-killing with fewer side effects.

A new study shows how the brains of Egyptian fruit bats are highly specialized for echolocation and flight, with motor areas of the cerebral cortex that are dedicated to sonar production and wing control.
New research has highlighted issues about how the conservation status of different species is classified, and suggests the focus should be on restoring species now rather than waiting for them to become threatened with extinction before acting.
University of Michigan researchers and their colleagues used a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in Nepal as a natural experiment to test the responses of two GPS-collared tigers to dramatic reductions in traffic volume along a national highway.
Cell division in moss and animals more similar than previously thought, according to a new study.
Danish researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University have presented a new study that shows a tiny molecule present in brain cells can affect the levels of hypocretin, which is responsible for regulating our waking and sleeping patterns, keeping us alert during the day and causing drowsiness at night.
The origin of complex cells known as eukaryotes may have been misconstrued for decades, according to new research.
Researchers have developed a mathematical framework to analyze the genome and identify the signs of natural selection, unlocking the evolutionary history and future of non-coding DNA.
The Manis bone projectile point represents the oldest direct evidence of mastodon hunting in the Americas.
