Levitated Electrode System Detects Daily Rhythms in Fruit Without Touching
19+ hour, 8+ min ago (602+ words) In a finding that could reshape how scientists monitor the internal clocks of plants, researchers in Japan have demonstrated that detached fruits give off a measurable rhythm in the electrical charge of the air around them — a rhythm that rises…...
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9076: Explainable Cattle Identification via ArcFace Embeddings and Vision–Language Explanations
1+ day, 56+ min ago (567+ words) Individual cattle identification underpins traceability, genetic management and disease surveillance in precision livestock farming. Ear tags and RFID remain the dominant practice but are subject to loss, tampering and welfare concerns, which motivates contactless biometric alternatives. Most deep learning systems…...
Late season silk — Face-finding webs work of orb-weaver spiders
1+ day, 11+ hour ago (205+ words) There is a neurological condition, Hutchinsonâs mask, that creates the creepy tactile sensation of just having walked face-first into a spider web. The furrow orb-weaver spider is one of the common web-builders in our region whose work people often…...
There’s no such thing as a ‘pet monkey.’ Here’s why.
2+ day, 21+ hour ago (440+ words) Kindness looks good on you! Shop for good: Snag cozy gear, fun gifts and animal-loving merch—all while supporting our lifesaving work. This is just one of hundreds of incidents across the U.S. that our team tracks that illustrate what…...
"Awww! Look how cute! They made a little ball!" Scientists view rare example of wild animals making objects simply for a fun kickabout
3+ day, 2+ hour ago (538+ words) Wild pygmy raccoons have been filmed making and playing with pint-sized, papier-mâché footballs. The entrancing behaviour may be a rare example of wild animals making objects simply for fun. Pygmy raccoons (Procyon pygmaeus) are found only on the Mexican island…...
Scientists Say the “Lizard Brain” Is a Myth, But the Truth About How Our Brains Evolved May Be Even Stranger
3+ day, 3+ hour ago (1390+ words) One of the most popular explanations of human behavior has been that somewhere beneath our rational mind lurks an ancient “lizard brain”—a primitive evolutionary holdover responsible for instinct, emotion, fear, and aggression. There is just one problem. Neuroscientists have…...
Scientists surprised to find Asian elephants can resist impulses, plan and act
3+ day, 3+ hour ago (354+ words) Asian elephants can inhibit their impulses to tackle problems more effectively, researchers say, putting them in a select group of animals with such ability. Resisting an impulse in favour of more effective behaviour, known as inhibitory control, is key to…...
AI innovation measures temperature tolerance in fish
3+ day, 7+ hour ago (614+ words) Researchers have developed an AI-based system that automatically and objectively detects the moment when fish experience loss of equilibrium (LOE) due to temperature stress. The system combines DeepLabCut, a deep-learning AI that captures animal posture from video, with ResNet34, a deep-learning…...
A???WHOLISTIC??? View of Cellular Communication Across an Entire Animal
4+ day, 48+ min ago (601+ words) We can’t hear it, but the different parts of our body are in constant conversation, communicating to keep the entire system running efficiently. For biologists, being able to listen in on this discussion is a long-sought-after goal. Over the years,…...
A ‘WHOLISTIC’ view of cellular communication across an entire animal
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (689+ words) image: A new method developed by Virginie Ruetten (left), a postdoc in the lab of Janelia Senior Group Leader Misha Ahrens (right), uses high-speed volumetric fluorescence imaging to record the activity of nearly every cell in a living larval zebrafish....
