2026.04.08 筑波大学,神戸大学,国立環境研究所 プレスリリース ハチジョウノコギリクワガタは、日本に生息するノコギリクワガタ属で唯一飛べないクワガタです。その飛翔能力消失の要因を近縁種との比較から検証しました。その結果、飛翔筋の萎縮が直接的な要因であり、地上歩行への依存が高まったことで、飛...

化石が好きな小学生姉妹が、博物館が「お土産用」などとして販売していた岩石からセミの全身化石を見つけた。 　約30万年前（更新世中期）のセミで、全身がそろった保存状態の良い化石は極めて例が少なく、

はじめに note の投稿をしばらく休止していました、体調不良とかではありません。ミラーレスカメラをメインで使うようになって、1回に撮影する写真の枚数がとても多くなり、写真の取捨選択や整理に要する時間が増大し、写真を編集したり、原稿を書いたりする時間を確保するのが難しくなってしまったためです。 しかし、写真をただ撮りためていたら宝の持ち腐れになってしまいますから、また投稿などを再開しようと思い...

But scientists say there are practical and ethical challenges to overcome before the strategy could be deployed in real-world settings.

Myrmecophilous butterflies evolved diverse adaptations to communicate with ants, including acoustic ones. We analyzed the rhythmic properties of vibroacoustic signals in two ant and nine butterfly sp...

Lions and tigers, as dominant apex predators, likely became competitors when lions expanded from Africa into Eurasia approximately one million year...

Black-bulb yam’s mimicry tricks birds into spreading its berrylike clones. The plant's novel strategy helps it spread without seeds or sexual reproduction.

Filament-forming actin proteins are found in nearly all living organisms. In bacteria, four families of actin proteins have been defined, with biological functions in plasmid partitioning, cell divisi...

Abstract. Sex-limited polymorphisms, like mating strategies in male birds and mimicry in female butterflies, are widespread across the tree of life and fre

How animals detect the Earth’s magnetic field remains a mystery in sensory biology. Despite extensive behavioral evidence, the neural circuitry and molecular mechanisms responsible for magnetic sensin...

The co-discoverer of the structure of DNA helped to strengthen a US research institute and wrote a classic textbook, but also earned a reputation for racist and sexist comments.

In animal groups, spatial structure shapes social interaction patterns, thereby influencing the transmission of infectious diseases. Active modifications to the spatial environment could therefore be ...

Agricultural abandonment and reduced snowfall in depopulated Japan over the past 40 years may have facilitated the expansion of the ranges of sika deer, wild boar, Japanese serow and macaque, Asiatic ...

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses cause mass mortality in birds and have infected over 50 mammalian species, including humans. Here, the authors report the use of a propagation-defective ...

Floss-based vaccination exploits the leaky junctional epithelium of the gingival sulcus to deliver different types of vaccine, inducing robust mucosal and systemic immunity and providing protection ag...

Trial in only continent untouched by avian flu suggests jabs will be key to survival as migration season approaches

Researchers say findings show need for conservation efforts to focus on nutritional diversity

Light pollution disrupts light–dark cues that organisms use as timetables for life. Although studies—typically focusing on individual species—have documented earlier morning onset of bird vocalization...

Rat-sized carnivore called the ampurta makes speedy comeback despite unprecedented drought.

Europe's glaciers are shrinking faster than anywhere else on Earth, leaving behind unstable landscapes.

The mysterious branch of life of known as archaea harbor unique bacteria-fighting compounds

Mammalian hosts deploy a multitude of germ line–encoded mechanisms to detect and restrict virus infection. These mechanisms must avoid pathological responses to endogenous retroviruses and other endog...

High planting density boosts crop yields but also heightens pest and pathogen risks. How plants adapt their defenses under these conditions remains unclear. In this study, we reveal that maize enhance...

Maternal antibodies fundamentally regulate gut immunity in the developing infant, yet the mechanisms underlying this process remain elusive. We found that maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG), ingested in ...

Survey of five Australian avians finds numerous discordant individuals, including a genetically male bird that had laid an egg

Infectious bird flu virus was found in milk, on equipment, within wastewater and aerosolized in the air on California dairy farms
