I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#In the wild, chimpanzees are more motivated to cooperate than bonobos” Chimpanzees arriving later at the snake were better informed and therefore less surprised to see it in this place than bonobos arriving later. Credit: Cédric Girard-Buttoz, Taï Chimpanzee Project We humans have unique cooperative systems allowing us to cooperate in large numbers. Furthermore, we…
“#Phylogenetic analysis confirms existence of five goral species” Goral from Northern Myanmar. Credit: XTBG Researchers have recognized one to seven species of goral gorals (Naemorhedus spp., Caprinae, Bovidae), small goat antelopes. However, the phylogenetics remains unclear because of limited genetic data. There was no molecular evidence from northern Myanmar until recently, when researchers from the Southeast Asia Biodiversity…
“#Dawn song of the male great tit attracts other males rather than females” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Female great tits (Parus major) stay clear of territories with better singing males while competing males are attracted to the territories with better singers. This unexpected conclusion was reached by researchers of Wageningen University & Research in collaboration…
“#New study reveals how metamorphosis has shaped the evolution of salamanders” Newt shadowed by the diversity of salamander skull evolution. Credit: Fabre, Martinez, Rettedal & Goswami A team of scientists, led by Natural History Museum postdoctoral researcher Dr. Anne-Claire Fabre, have conducted the first study on how metamorphosis has influenced the evolution of salamanders. Using…
“#300-million-year-old fish resembles a sturgeon but took a different evolutionary path” A re-examination of a 300-million-year-old fish, Tanyrhinichthys mcallisteri, revealed that its lifestyle more closely resembled that of the bottom-dwelling sturgeon, rather than the stealthy pike, as was previously believed. University of Pennsylvania researchers, led the study of the “enigmatic and strange fish.” Credit: Nobu…
“#Uncovering the genetic basis of hermaphroditism in grapes, the trait that allowed domestication” People have been harvesting grapes for at least 8,000 years. All wild grapes are dioecious, with male and female flowers on different plants. The introduction of hermaphroditism, so that plants have functional male and female flower parts, played a key role in…
“#High-tech CT reveals ancient evolutionary adaptation of extinct crocodylomorphs” New insights into the anatomy of the inner ear of prehistoric reptiles, the thalattosuchians, revealed details about the evolutionary adaption during the transition into the ocean after a long semiaquatic phase. These new findings of an international research team were made possible by the use of…
“#Humans found able to infer behavioral information from chimpanzee vocalizations” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A team of researchers from the University of Amsterdam, the University of York and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, has found evidence of human ability to infer behavioral information from chimpanzee vocalizations. In their paper published in Proceedings of…
“#Spectacular bird’s-eye view? Hummingbirds see diverse colors humans can only imagine” While humans have three color cones in the retina sensitive to red, green and blue light, birds have a fourth color cone that can detect ultraviolet light. A research team led by Princeton’s Mary Caswell Stoddard trained wild hummingbirds, like this male broad-tailed hummingbird,…
“#No disadvantages to having kids early” Credit: Shutterstock NTB scanpix When some species are heavily hunted, animal mortality increases and they have fewer offspring in the course of their lives. To compensate for this, animals that are hunted often respond by becoming sexually mature and bearing young earlier than species that are not hunted. In…
