Seven newly identified diamond frogs reveal hidden diversity that is already influencing conservation planning in Madagascar. Beneath the leaf litter of Madagascar’s forests, diamond frogs can remain hidden for most of their lives. An international research group has now described seven new species of these elusive amphibians (Rhombophryne), showing that the group contains even more […]

Crab Trapped in Plastic Bottle Survived Two Months at Sea
A crab trapped by its own growth exposes an overlooked hazard of floating plastic waste. About 500 meters off Sesoko Island in Okinawa, Japan, a plastic bottle drifted at the sea surface with juvenile fish gathered around it. Inside was something harder to explain: a live swimming crab whose body had grown far wider than […]
A Human-Specific Gene May Help Explain Our Extraordinary Brainpower
The new findings could help explain what made the human brain unique during evolution. A mouse’s brain immune cells mature in about three weeks. Their human counterparts take four to eight years, an unusually slow timetable that may help explain how the human brain develops its distinctive cognitive abilities. Microglia are the brain’s most abundant […]
Scientists Find a Smarter Way To Turn Used Coffee Grounds Into Clean Fuel
Every cup of coffee leaves behind a hidden reservoir of energy. Damp coffee grounds discarded after brewing still contain valuable oils that can be converted into biodiesel, while their carbohydrates and other compounds could be used to produce renewable fuels, bioplastics, and industrial chemicals. Researchers at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) have now identified a […]
