Researchers at Meijo University and University of Tsukuba collected and taxonomically re-examined numerous enigmatic jumping bristletails. These were first reported 75 years ago. They observed extreme specialization in the external genitalia of the males and discovered that this species belongs to a unique group, potentially representing a primitive state leading to "copulation" during evolutionary development.

Cal Poly has received a $10.6 million grant from the nonprofit Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) organization to be shared with Brown University, Northwestern University, and multiple other partners to lead a five-year national research study to examine whether medically tailored meals can help address the rise in gestational diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Trained professionals, including nurses and community health workers, will guide female participants over the course of several months.

A new study reveals corals must be within only a few metres of each other to successfully reproduce, leaving them vulnerable in a warming world.

In a new study published in Current Biology, researchers describe Uncus dzaugisi, a 555-million-year-old worm-like organism preserved in the Precambrian rocks of Nilpena Ediacara National Park (NENP). This tiny fossil, barely over a few centimeters long, represents the oldest confirmed member of the Ecdysozoa and the only one known from the Precambrian period.

Despite the population being almost four times larger than it was in 1982, a new study published in the journal Ecology suggests the northern muriqui monkeys remain at risk, especially in the face of ongoing habitat disturbances.

Thanks to a new University of Texas at Arlington study published in the Journal of Heredity, scientists now have a better genetic understanding of the insect. The research offers an updated genome analysis of the common bedbug Cimex lectularius, providing new insight for those working to prevent bedbug infestation, develop remediation strategies and track pesticide resistance.
