Ingenious Gene Drive Reverses Insecticide Resistance in Pests, Then Vanishes!

Geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an 'e-Drive' that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears from the insect population. Insecticides have been used for centuries to counteract widespread pest damage to valuable food crops. Eventually, over time

Ancient Mesoamericans Mastered Fishing Techniques Sooner Than Believed

Archaeologists have collected data which indicates the presence of a large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facility. Discovered in the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary (CTWS), the largest inland wetland in Belize, the team dated the construction of these fisheries to the Late Archaic period (cal. 2000-1900 BCE), pre-dating Amazonian examples by a thousand years or more. An archaeologist

Ethiopian Wolves Discover a New Delicacy: Nectar Feasting Unveiled

For the first time, Ethiopian wolves have been documented feeding on the nectar of Ethiopian red hot poker flowers. This is the first large carnivore species ever to be documented feeding on nectar. In doing so, the wolves may act as pollinators -- perhaps the first known plant-pollinator interaction involving a large carnivore. New findings

“Patagonia’s Icy Guardians: Can Increased Snowfall Shield Glaciers from Climate Change?”

In an era of dwindling glaciers, Southern Patagonia has managed to hold on to a surprising amount of its ice. But, a new study suggests that this protective effect might be pushed up against its limits soon. In an era of dwindling glaciers, Southern Patagonia has managed to hold on to a surprising amount of

Revolutionary New Technique Emerges for Identifying Invasive Snakes’ DNA in Florida

Scientists have developed a pioneering tool that can pinpoint where invasive species have been, aiding eradication efforts. Scientists at the University of Florida have developed a pioneering tool to bolster Florida's defenses against invasive species: a DNA-based environmental monitoring test that can pinpoint where they've been, aiding eradication efforts.

Unveiling the Unexpected: New Discoveries in Gene Regulation

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are therefore separated from each other, even if they control the same gene, and switch it on in different parts

How Indigenous Networks Helped Peaches Flourish Across North America
