“#Engineering speciation events in insects may be used to control harmful pests” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Species typically evolve over the course of eons, but researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a way to do it in less than a year. A team of scientists led by Mike Smanski, Ph.D., in the College…
“#New tool for identifying endangered corals could aid conservation efforts” A newly developed genotyping “chip” — the first of its kind for corals — allows researchers to genetically identify corals and the symbiotic algae that live within the coral’s cells, a vital step for establishing and maintaining genetic diversity in reef restoration efforts.

“#Nutrients in microalgae: An environmentally friendly alternative to fish” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Microalgae could provide an alternative source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids for humans while also being more environmentally friendly to produce than popular fish species. This is the result of a new study by scientists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). The…
“#Team discovers first effective treatment for citrus-destroying disease” Fruit of a tree infected with Citrus Greening Disease. Credit: UCR UC Riverside scientists have found the first substance capable of controlling Citrus Greening Disease, which has devastated citrus farms in Florida and also threatens California. The new treatment effectively kills the bacterium causing the disease with…
“#Environmental DNA detection could cut pathogens in pet trade” Credit: CC0 Public Domain As the SARS-CoV-2 puts new focus on zoonotic pathogens, a Washington State University researcher has developed a method to use environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect disease in the vast international trade of aquatic animals. The problem with monitoring the pet trade is…
“#Crop pathogens ‘remarkably adaptable’” Bananas in Java, Indonesia, infected by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense, causal agent of Fusarium Wilt.
