When combined with iridescent colouration, a matt target surface appearance confers greater survival benefits in beetles than a glossy surface, scientists at the University of Bristol have found.
MIT EAPS researchers find the impressive mountain range formed over a series of impacts, not a single event, as previously thought.
EATING DISORDER Severe changes in the intestinal ecosystem of bacteria and viruses directly affect the development and maintenance of anorexia nervosa. This is the conclusion of a new study headed by researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark.
The bacteria scrub out nitrogen, potentially defending against certain nutrient overloads.
ECOSYSTEMS When an ecosystem is threatened, new species cannot necessarily replace those that disappear, according to a new study from the University of Copenhagen.
Findings suggest this hippocampal circuit helps us to maintain our timeline of memories.
The brain uses different frequency rhythms and cortical layers to suppress expected stimulation and increase activity for what’s novel.

Associate professor of physics shares the honor with colleague Phillip Mocz for their novel dark matter research.
Tsetse are biting flies that transmit the parasites causing sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in animals.
OBESITY The appetite hormone neurotensin released by the intestine upon eating may predict our ability to maintain weight loss, new study from the University of Copenhagen concludes.

RESEARCH A model based on numerous studies of people with type 2 diabetes can make a new type of prediction: how a certain drug would affect each person at the molecular biological level.
The earliest reptiles, birds and mammals may have borne live young, researchers from Nanjing University and University of Bristol have revealed.
Results significantly narrow the range of possible places to find the hypothetical dark matter particles.
CANCER Sarcoma is a rare and complex type of cancer of i.a. the bones and muscles. Now researchers have found a way to predict which sarcoma patients will benefit the most from a potential new treatment.
Using CRISPR technology, researchers are tracking the lineage of individual cancer cells as they proliferate and metastasize in real-time.
MIT-led NASA mission finds a multi-planetary system that could be an “ideal laboratory” to study planetary formation and evolution.
