Genomic study reveals evolutionary secrets of banyan tree Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:12 AM PDT The banyan fig tree Ficus microcarpa is famous for its aerial roots, which sprout from branches and eventually reach the soil. The tree also has a unique relationship with a wasp that has coevolved with it and is the only insect that can pollinate it. In a new study, researchers identify regions in the banyan fig's genome that promote the development of its unusual aerial roots and enhance its ability to signal its wasp pollinator. |

Light stimulation makes bones heavier Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:42 AM PDT Researchers showed that laser ablation of bone inhibits expression of the osteogenesis inhibitor protein sclerostin without causing inflammation, unlike the conventional bur-drilling technique. Further investigations confirmed that this beneficial bio-stimulation works by inducing mechanical stress. These findings help advance research into the treatment of osteoporosis as well as specific enhancement of bone regrowth in orthopedic and dental surgery. |

Zoologists uncover new example of rapid evolution -- meet the Sulawesi Babblers Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:42 AM PDT Zoologists have discovered that male and female Sulawesi Babblers (Pellorneum celebense, a species of bird) have evolved to attain different sizes on small islands, and in quick-fire time. They believe this is most likely due to evolutionary pressure favoring such 'dimorphism' because the birds are able to reduce competition with each other by feeding on different, scarce resources. |

Double jeopardy for ecologically rare birds and terrestrial mammals Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:37 AM PDT Common assumptions notwithstanding, rare species can play unique and essential ecological roles. After studying two, scientists have demonstrated that, though these species are found on all continents, they are more threatened by human pressures than ecologically common species and will also be more impacted by future climate change. Thus they are in double jeopardy. The researchers' findings show that conservation programmes must account for the ecological rarity of species. |
