Microparticles recovered from some seabirds exhibited estrogenic activity with potential to disrupt hormone functions
A new dataset of intentional disabling of Automatic Identification System devices by fishing vessels provides insights into illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing activity
In the lake-rich regions of the world, algae blooms are a growing problem
A new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters used satellite mapping data to analyze how changes in human footprint on the landscape between 1970 and 2018 overlapped with distributions of 1,469 Colombian bird species
Patients with breast cancer should be offered the opportunity for reconstructive surgery if the breast has to be completely removed
The deep sea contains more than 90% of the water in our oceans, but only about a third of all fish species. Scientists have long thought the explanation for this was intuitive

A new study finds the microbial ecosystem in the guts of wild marten (Martes americana) that live in relatively pristine natural habitat is distinct from the gut microbiome of wild marten that live in areas that are more heavily impacted by human activity.
The hereditary material of humans and other organisms is stored as a code in DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, in each cell's nucleus. The traditional geometric structure of DNA is the double helix, discovered in 1953. Now synthetic biologists are examining how the familiar DNA geometry can be engineered into new forms with new properties and potential uses.
Overall cancer death rates continued to decline among men, women, children, and adolescents and young adults in every major racial and ethnic group in the United States from 2015 to 2019, according to the latest Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer.
