» Warming waters are supercharging an invasive salmon predator in Alaska
26/04/26 03:24 from Plants & Animals News -- ScienceDaily
As Alaska’s rivers warm, invasive northern pike are becoming noticeably more voracious. Scientists discovered that pike of all ages are eating more fish, with young pike increasing consumption by over 60%. Warmer water speeds up their me...

» Aggressive “hulk” lizards are wiping out millions of years of evolution
26/04/26 03:14 from Earth & Climate News -- ScienceDaily
For ages, wall lizards coexisted in three distinct color types, each with its own strategy for survival. Now, a powerful green variant is taking over. These dominant “Hulk” lizards are outcompeting the others, causing yellow and orange m...

» Microfluidic device tracks cell 'squishiness' faster and more reliably than standard methods
25/04/26 22:40 from Biology News - Evolution, Cell theory, Gene theory, Microbiology, Biotechnology
