Biodiversity offsetting shows promise in pollinator conservation
Biodiversity offsetting shows promise in pollinator conservation Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Newly created grassland habitats that compensate for nature lost to development can effectively support wild pollinators like bees and hoverflies, according to a first of its kind study in the Netherlands. The findings are published in the Journal of Applied Ecology. In a new study, researchers from Wageningen University compared newly created offset grasslands with...
Icy moons' ability to host life could be revealed through an ecology-based method
Icy moons' ability to host life could be revealed through an ecology-based method Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor New observatories and spacecraft missions are probing environments in our solar system that could potentially host life but have long remained hidden. Icy moons like Saturn's Enceladus and Jupiter's Europa likely contain oceans beneath frozen outer shells. But a layer of ice prohibits space probes from sampling them directly.
South Australia’s koala boom could end in mass starvation
South Australia’s koala boom could end in mass starvation - Date: - June 8, 2026 - Source: - University of Technology Sydney - Summary: - South Australia’s koala population has grown so large that it may be heading toward a self-made disaster, with forests struggling to support the animals. Researchers say targeted fertility control could prevent widespread starvation and habitat collapse before it’s too late. - Share: South Australia is home to a booming koala population, but researchers...
Medieval pandemic left a hidden legacy in Europe's oldest trees
Medieval pandemic left a hidden legacy in Europe's oldest trees Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrates how radiocarbon dating can reveal the maximum lifespan of Mediterranean hardwoods, uncovering hidden links between human history and long-term ecosystem dynamics. By analyzing mature and ancient oak trees across Italy, researchers found that a millennium of age is attainable from the...
Tessera AI model offers accessible way to view Earth
Tessera AI model offers accessible way to view Earth Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A foundation model trained on Earth observation data from Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 has been made widely available to researchers, it was announced at a computer industry conference this week in Denver, U.S. Tessera, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, offers high-accuracy datasets that encode what the satellite "sees" of Earth's surface during the course of a...
Bacteria uncover distinct strategy to import rare sugar polymers, crystal structures show
Bacteria uncover distinct strategy to import rare sugar polymers, crystal structures show Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Even though sugars are often framed as simple sources of energy, they also serve as structurally complex and functionally diverse molecules that mediate interactions between organisms. Among these, β-1,2-glucans, which are a class of glucose-based polymers, stand out for their varied and sometimes subtle roles. Found across a wide range of...
Google wants to release 64 million bacteria-riddled mosquitoes across California and Florida. Here’s why scientists are enthusiastic.
Google wants to release 64 million bacteria-riddled mosquitoes across California and Florida. Here’s why scientists are enthusiastic. Google has applied for an experimental mosquito release permit to deploy millions of non-biting southern house mosquitoes that it has infected with the bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, in an effort to reduce mosquito-borne diseases like West Nile virus.
Human-Like Neural Nets by Catapulting
Human-like Neural Nets by Catapulting Speculative proposal to create artificial neural nets with human-like performance by high-learning-rate/regularization training of overparameterized NNs to trigger catapulting/grokking. Over-parameterization as a route to true generalization would resolve many outstanding mysteries of artificial versus natural intelligence. There are many mysteries about deep learning and human intelligence, but we could describe the biggest anomaly this way: why are...
