“#BESIII reports most precise measurements of strong-phase parameters in neutral D meson decay” Credit: CC0 Public Domain The BESIII collaboration has reported the most precise measurements to date of the relative strong-phase parameters in decays of neutral D mesons. These results are presented in two articles published in the journals Physical Review Letters and Physical…
“#Overcoming genomic imprinting barrier improves mammal cloning” Overcoming intrinsic H3K27me3 imprinting barriers improves somatic cell nuclear transfer. Credit: IOZ Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT, also known as cloning) technology holds great potential in animal production and regenerative medicine. However, the extremely low efficiency and frequently observed abnormalities in cloned embryos limit the development and application…

Africa braces for another locust invasion” The migratory pests have descended on East Africa in record numbers since late 2019 East Africa is bracing for a third outbreak of desert locusts, with billions of the destructive insects about to hatch and threaten food supplies in a region already reeling from…
“#Overconsumption and growth economy key drivers of environmental crises” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A group of researchers, led by a UNSW sustainability scientist, have reviewed existing academic discussions on the link between wealth, economy and associated impacts, reaching a clear conclusion: technology will only get us so far when working towards sustainability—we need far-reaching lifestyle…
“#Plants can camouflage odours to avoid being eaten: study” Caterpillar species from the study. Credit: Antonio López-Carretero Plants in dense tropical forests are able to mask their chemical scents in order to avoid being detected and eaten by insects—a key advantage in the “information arms race” between themselves and plant-eating herbivores, according to a new…
“#How sexual competition and choice could protect species from extinction” New research shows that removing sexual competition and choice through enforced monogamy creates populations that are less resilient to environmental stress, such as climate change.The research team looked at how flour beetles (pictured) coped with environmental and genetic stress after they had evolved under monogamous…
“#Are planets with oceans common in the galaxy? It’s likely, NASA scientists find” This illustration shows NASA’s Cassini spacecraft flying through plumes on Enceladus in October 2015.

“#International study indicates shift to raw/home-made food diet for pets over past decade” Credit: CC0 Public Domain While most cats and dogs are still being fed ‘conventional’ wet and dry food, there has been a distinct shift in feeding practices over the past decade to include raw and home-made foods, particularly in Australia, finds an…
“#One press release on OSHA violations yields compliance equal to 210 inspections” Matthew Johnson. Credit: Duke University A single press release naming a company that has violated workplace health and safety regulations can result in a 73 percent improvement in compliance by other facilities, a Duke researcher finds. The study appears in the June issue…
