Chinese team injects desert moss gene into Xinjiang cotton to beat fungus, boost output Scientists report potential to boost cotton yield by nearly a quarter after inserting stress-resistance gene from a species of steppe moss The resulting genetically modified plant showed improved resistance to Verticillium wilt, sometimes known as “cotton cancer”, which can also affect other crops, including fruits and vegetables. The transgenic cotton had “an approximate 23.8 per cent yield increase...

White storks: Why introducing non‑native species in rewilding projects can be a good idea
White storks: Why introducing non‑native species in rewilding projects can be a good idea Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor White storks (Ciconia ciconia) are a majestic bird with a two-meter wingspan and an enormous circular nest. The recent release of these stunning birds at multiple sites in England, with more releases planned and a public consultation under way has kicked off a debate about whether non-native birds should be part of rewilding projects. The government...
Genome study shows what made the extinct Ice Age cave lion unique
Genome study shows what made the extinct Ice Age cave lion unique June 4 : The cave lion was one of the biggest cats to ever live, prowling a huge swathe of territory from Western Europe across Siberia and into North America and hunting large prey - and perhaps even people - before going extinct around the end of the Ice Age. New genome research reveals what made this big cat unique and how it differed from the modern lion, its smaller cousin, though the two species did sporadically...
Pre-Modern Armies for Worldbuilders, Part I: Why They Fight
This week I want to try something a little different. Rather than taking apart a particular fantasy military system, I thought I might try to lay out a more general sense of how military systems tend to map on to societies, both because such general historical frameworks are handy for thinking about the past, but also because they make useful rules of thumb for imagining fantastical societies. So essentially here we are asking: how do societies end up with the sort of armies they have?
