Papua New Guinea is a biodiversity powerhouse where travelers come for dazzling birds-of-paradise, rare marsupials like tree kangaroos, and world-class coral reefs set against some of Earth's most ...

In 1961, MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz was inputting numbers into a weather prediction program. His model was based on a dozen variables, the value of one being .506127. When he ran the model again, ...

In this era of internet, e-commerce has grown tremendously and the customers are increasingly relying on reviews for product information. As these reviews influence the purchasing ability of the ...

Researchers affiliated with the neuroscience platform FinalSpark have devised a 3D simulation depicting a butterfly that's directed by human brain cells. "It represents a significant step towards the ...

The iconic North American butterfly's annual migration patterns are under threat from habitat loss and extreme weather, causing its devoted fans to research solutions and push for protection from the ...

Using the charismatic Bella moth as an example, we show how a genomic approach can tackle biological problems. We assembled a reference genome and obtained genomic datasets for more than a hundred ...

Collisionless space plasma environments are typically characterized by distinct particle populations. Although moments of their velocity distribution functions help in distinguishing different plasma ...

Identifying the genomic changes that control morphological variation and understanding how they generate diversity is a major goal of evolutionary biology. In Heliconius butterflies, a small number of ...

The perception and use of visual information to guide behavior is critical for many animals. Our study establishes how subtle differences in the light environments within tropical forests can drive ...

Neuroscience currently lacks a comprehensive theory of how cognitive processes can be implemented in a biological substrate. The Neural Engineering Framework (NEF) proposes one such theory, but has ...
