Researchers at the University of Oviedo have sequenced the animal’s genome. The results could shed light on aging and cellular deterioration in other species, including humans

Other, less passive sedentary behaviors, such as using the computer, are instead associated with better mental health

A team of US researchers has discovered that female ‘Aedes aegypti’ mosquitoes, unlike other animals, have multiple receptors in their olfactory neurons that provide them with a sophisticated and ‘unbreakable’ attraction to humans

Research shows that completing complex cognitive tasks releases this neurotransmitter, which can be toxic to the nervous system in high concentrations

Scientists map the global prevalence of the condition, revealing that 120 million people are severely affected

A system that injects a hemoglobin-based fluid reverses cell death, a breakthrough that could have a major impact on organ donation

Two research studies covering more than 100 species of amphibians and reptiles reveal that turtles and salamanders have aging rates close to zero

Most of the deaths averted were in developed countries, according to the research, which used mathematical modeling to calculate the global impact of vaccination

Ancient DNA indicates that the deadliest bubonic plague pandemic in history began in a Central Asian valley and spread along the famous Silk Road trade route

The presence of a metal in the fossil teeth of both sharks suggests that they competed for the same food, and the smaller animal won

Head-butting between males caused the feature to elongate, according to analysis of fossils from a newly discovered ‘giraffoid’ species

New research, based on thousands of students in Barcelona, links noise pollution to lower attention spans and working memory

A genetic modification allows these vegetables to generate significant amounts of the essential micronutrient’s precursor

New research on nearly 1,200 patients in China who were hospitalized in the first months of the pandemic shows that many continue to suffer from conditions such as sleep disorders and muscle weakness

Replacing animal proteins would reduce emissions, deforestation and the abuse of natural resources

The migration of animal species due to global warming could lead to 15,000 new viral transmission events over the next 50 years, new research suggests

A comparison between different mammals suggests the existence of a ‘natural law’ that links changes in cellular DNA to life expectancy

Archaeologists identified two plaster fragments depicting a date that the pre-Columbian civilization called ‘7 deer’ and was part of the 260-day calendar cycle

A global study demonstrates that humans everywhere react similarly to the same smells

A study of sound waves recorded by ‘Perseverance’ shows that lower-frequency sounds travel more slowly on the red planet than higher ones

Nests from the 19th century show how global warming has brought the breeding season forward by almost a month compared to 100 years ago

A global study finds that white clover is less likely to produce a defense chemical in city centers than if it grows in rural settings

Research is paving the way toward the ‘sonogenetic’ era, via the manipulation of mouse neurons using sound waves

According to the research, more than half of the planet’s marine surface is suffering from temperature rises, which is pushing many species to migrate further north
