Nearly 40% of California-grown nonorganic produce has residues from PFAS pesticides — potentially toxic “forever chemicals” that can remain in the body for years.

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

A new study on mayflies of the genus Ecdyonurus illustrates just how multifaceted and surprising reproductive behavior in ...

The Amazon molly reproduces without sex. A genomic copy-and-paste trick called gene conversion may explain how it avoids evolutionary meltdown.

The story of a wildflower that adapted to a severe drought in California raises hopes that evolution will come to the rescue of species hit by climate change, but there are limits ...

The kick-off signal for puberty begins in the brain. Specifically, in the hypothalamus, where specific neurons release a hormone that activates the hypophysis, at the base of the skull, which then ...

McClintock’s study also assumed each boarder had a standard 28-day menstrual cycle. Before the 2000s, this was widely accepted as scientific fact. But multiple landmark studies which used apps to ...

Research on plant responses to environmental stress is increasingly vital as global change accelerates. Both natural and agricultural systems are facing ...
