Early COVID-19 pandemic suspicions about dogs' resistance to the disease have given way to a long-haul clinical data gap as new variants of the virus have emerged.
Animal agriculture is a major source of water pollution in the United States, as manure runoff carries excess nutrients into rivers and lakes. Because of their non-point source nature, most farms are not regulated under the federal Clean Water Act. This leaves pollution control up to the states, resulting in a patchwork of different approaches that are difficult to evaluate.
Managers spend much of their time managing conflict and struggle to know how to respond when a "he said, she said" workplace dispute occurs. However, a new study shows how employees' intuitive moral values might give rise to feelings of sympathy toward alleged perpetrators and anger toward their accusing victims. The research, published in Organization Science, also offers novel insights into what enables perpetrators to go unpunished and why their victims experience backlash for coming...
In recent years, teleworking—spurred by the implementation of information and communication technologies and the recent pandemic, particularly—has become a feature of many jobs. Many companies have now made this form of working available to their employees, but it is still far from common practice in today's labor market.
Astronomers on Monday warned that the light pollution created by the soaring number of satellites orbiting Earth poses an "unprecedented global threat to nature."
An international research team led by the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) is to search for invisible life in the Galápagos Islands. The diversity of bacteria and other microscopic organisms may not be evident to the naked eye, but it is essential to nature; for example, to the islands' giant daisies, unique endemic plants that are currently under threat.
Increases in mortality among Douglas-fir in the Klamath Mountains are the result of multiple factors that have the iconic tree in a "decline spiral" in parts of the region, a new study by the Oregon State University College of Forestry and OSU Extension Service indicates.
"If you pick a spot in, say, a rainforest, and count the number of different species of lizards within 15 meters and you come up with a number," asks Luke Mahler, "what determines that number?"
A new study by researchers at the University of Minnesota sheds light on the origins of racial disparities in the Minneapolis park system and their long-lasting consequences for environmental justice in the city.
Researchers at the University of Helsinki identified several links between various risk factors and feline litterbox issues. Identifying a range of risk factors makes it possible to modify conditions in the cat's environment, thus preventing and reducing litterbox issues.
TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein that normally resides in the nucleus of neurons but is abnormally located in the cytoplasm of neurons in most patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia, and up to half of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
In a scientific first, a team led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine has detected neutrinos created by a particle collider. The discovery promises to deepen scientists' understanding of the subatomic particles, which were first spotted in 1956 and play a key role in the process that makes stars burn.
