Rattlesnakes among most vulnerable to fungal disease and parasitic lung infection‎

Snakes are threatened with extinction in many places around the globe. Disease, often caused by parasites or fungi, is thought to be one of the key factors alongside habitat destruction. Prominent among fungal diseases is ophidiomycosis—also known as snake fungal disease—which is caused by the fungus Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo). In the 20 years since its discovery, it has been found in many snake species.

Collaborative education for solving climate challenges‎

Research published in the International Journal of Collaborative Engineering has found that universities that bring together environmental engineering and landscape architecture students in joint projects produce stronger design outcomes and better-prepared graduates for the world of work. These students can face real-world infrastructure challenges more effectively, the research into interdisciplinary teaching in sustainability-focused disciplines found.

Tropical cyclones give rise to unique type of heat wave in Japan‎

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have categorized a unique, previously unclassified type of heat wave in Japan, so-called "moist heat waves" which are accompanied by an approaching tropical cyclone. These heat waves are accompanied by high humidity and/or heavy precipitation, and their frequency has been rising over the last 30 years, accounting for approximately a quarter of the heat wave days surveyed. They may potentially trigger multiple natural hazards at once.

Ancient anesthetic reveals Ming China's sophisticated medicine‎

Microscopic analysis of residues on surgical scissors and tweezers from a 1348–1411 CE tomb in Jiangyin, China, finds the first evidence for the controlled application of a highly toxic chemical as anesthetic, highlighting the sophisticated medicine of the Ming dynasty.

Supermassive black holes can render exoplanets uninhabitable at great distances‎

The thinking around exoplanet habitability is mostly concerned with a planet's distance from its star. Too close, and any surface water is boiled away into space. Too far, and surface water is frozen. Both are severe limits on the prospects for life. Habitability depends on an exoplanet being in the Goldilocks Zone, a distance range around a star where liquid water can persist.

Four decades of overlooked data reveal the hidden amphipod diversity of Italian seas‎

What if some of the most important clues about marine biodiversity were already collected but never fully shared? That's the question that motivated a study, published in Biodiversity Data Journal. It brought together over 40 years of unpublished data on marine amphipods—ecologically crucial crustaceans—from across Italian waters.
