The founding father of American literature, Charles Brockden Brown saw his nation's dark side‎

Murder, suicide, spontaneous combustion, sleepwalking, ventriloquism: These are some of the sensational events in the novels of Charles Brockden Brown (1771–1810). As the United States' first professional author, Brown is the Founding Father of the nation's literature. He is, according to one biographer, "the most important American author no one has ever heard of." His fiction was deeply engaged with politics and culture after the American Revolution.

When trying to attract and recognize potential mates, animals are known to rely on various signals, traits and behaviors. In the case of birds, these signals can typically include a wide range of sounds—such as trills, whistles, chirps or melodious notes defined as "songs"—as well as the color and movement of their feathers.

Could this asteroid be a piece of the moon? A Chinese spacecraft is about to find out‎

The moon is not the only natural object traveling through space alongside Earth. Several small asteroids travel around the sun in near lockstep with our planet. And just like Earth, these space rocks also take a year to complete a full orbit. Today, we know of eight such "quasi-moons" or quasi-satellites.

Mapping men's violence programs reveals major Indo-Pacific research gaps‎

Domestic and family violence (DFV) rates in the Indo-Pacific are among the highest globally, but there is a lack of focus, both in research and policy, on the issue across the region. In the first analysis of its kind centered on the Indo-Pacific, Griffith University researchers conducted a scoping review, mapping the intervention programs that existed for male perpetrators of DFV, examining what they looked like in practice and where opportunities for learning and collaboration lay.

Complex food webs sustain ecosystem functioning‎

Healthy ecosystems depend on more than just having lots of species—they rely on the complex relationships between plants, prey and predators, according to new international research led by the University of Waikato and the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv). Published in the journal Nature, the study found that ecosystems with greater diversity of species—and particularly a greater diversity of predators—function more effectively, helping maintain natural processes that people rely on, such as pest control, climate regulation and ecosystem stability.
