Genes for a longer, healthier life found

Genes for a longer, healthier life found
Driven by the quest for eternal youth, humankind has spent centuries obsessed with the question of how it is exactly that we age. With advancements in molecular genetic methods in recent decades, the search for the genes involved in the aging process has greatly accelerated. Until now, this was mostly limited to genes of individual…

The U.S. And Cuba Sign An Agreement On Marine Research And Protection

The U.S. And Cuba Sign An Agreement On Marine Research And Protection
Just a few months after the U.S. and Cuba restored diplomatic ties, conservation is already seeing the benefits that increased cooperation can bring. This week saw the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sign an agreement that will bring two U.S. marine sanctuaries into a cooperative management with two of Cuba’s most important marine reserves.…

How the introduction of farming changed the human genome

How the introduction of farming changed the human genome
The introduction of agriculture into Europe about 8,500 years ago changed the way people lived right down to their DNA. Until recently, scientists could try to understand the way humans adapted genetically to changes that occurred thousands of years ago only by looking at DNA variation in today's populations. But our modern genomes contain mere…

10,000-year-old lion cubs found in cave

10,000-year-old lion cubs found in cave
In remote and icy Siberia, bodies of long extinct ancient animals are often found preserved within the thick permafrost, from woolly mammoths to ancient horses. These carcasses have been so well preserved, that some reports suggest that the meat is often fresh enough to eat, and can even contain liquid blood. In another stunning find, The…

Human-caused climate change increased the severity of many extreme events in 2014

Human-caused climate change increased the severity of many extreme events in 2014
Human activities, such as greenhouse gas emissions and land use, influenced specific extreme weather and climate events in 2014, including tropical cyclones in the central Pacific, heavy rainfall in Europe, drought in East Africa, and stifling heat waves in Australia, Asia, and South America, according to a new report released today. The report, "Explaining Extreme…

Greater than the sum of its parts

Greater than the sum of its parts
It is rare for a new animal species to emerge in front of scientists’ eyes. But this seems to be happening in eastern North America LIKE some people who might rather not admit it, wolves faced with a scarcity of potential sexual partners are not beneath lowering their standards. It was desperation of this sort,…

New primate species at root of tree of extant hominoids

New primate species at root of tree of extant hominoids
Living hominoids are a group of primates that includes the small-bodied apes (the lesser apes, or gibbons and siamangs, which constitute the family Hylobatidae) and the larger-bodied great apes (orangutans, gorillas and chimpanzees), which, along with humans, belong to the family Hominidae. All extant hominoids share several features, such as the lack of external tail,…

Beyond the high tides, South Florida water is changing

Beyond the high tides, South Florida water is changing
Every fall when the king tides roll in, the most obvious sign of climate change asserts itself in South Florida: flooding everywhere, from submerged roads in Miami to waves washing across neighborhoods in the Keys to swamped docks and yards in Fort Lauderdale’s canal-side homes. But beyond the flooding, a more insidious problem is at…
