Study reveals rich but vulnerable picture of Australia's island frogs
A first database has been compiled of the frog and freshwater fish species on hundreds of Australian islands. Summary Australian researchers have created the first comprehensive database cataloging frog and freshwater fish species inhabiting hundreds Read More
In the dark depths of the ocean, scientists have confirmed that deep-sea mesopelagic fish produce carbonate minerals just like their shallow-water relatives. This hidden process plays a critical role in the ocean’s carbon cycle, Read More
When you think about climate change in our oceans, you may picture coral bleaching, melting sea ice, or extreme weather events. But beneath the ocean’s surface, another quiet shift is underway. Australia’s tropical Read More
A new study offers the first direct evidence that deep-dwelling mesopelagic fish, which account for up to 94% of global fish biomass, excrete carbonate minerals at rates comparable to shallow-water species. The findings validate previous global Read More
Zebrafish possess a natural superpower that humans lack: the ability to regrow the tiny inner ear cells that are essential for hearing and balance. Scientists have now identified two specific genes responsible for this remarkable Read More
Unraveling the genetic mechanisms behind adaptive evolution stands as a pivotal challenge in molecular biology. While organisms often exhibit rapid phenotypic adjustments to environmental shifts, the underlying genomic processes remain poorly understood. Summary Understanding how Read More
Science, Volume 389, Issue 6756, Page 210-210, July 2025. Summary Without knowing the specific content of the “Science” issue, I can only provide a general summary. Science, Volume 389, Issue 6756, published in July 2025, likely contains a diverse collection of Read More
Ateneo biologists have confirmed the presence of the invasive tinfoil barb (Barbonymus schwanefeldii) in Laguna de Bay, raising concerns that the species could disrupt native fish populations and damage the lake’s delicate ecosystem. A Read More
Scientists have long assumed that fish save energy by swimming in neat diamond formations, but a new study using advanced 3D tracking tells a different story. For 50 years, scientists believed that fish swimming in tightly Read More
