A study tracing acoustic communication across the tree of life of land-living vertebrates reveals that the ability to vocalize does not seem to drive the formation of new species across vertebrates.

University of Arizona-led research found that trees in which isoprene production was genetically suppressed did not suffer ill effects in terms of photosynthesis or biomass production.

Oxygen loss and warming in the Southern Ocean around the Antarctic coast is much larger than predicted due to increased freshwater from melting ice sheets and increased wind.

A new theory describes what all animals have in common and allows predictions for specific traits of species that might not be well understood by science.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx science team has identified three possible explanations for the particles that asteroid Bennu is consistently tossing into space.

New University of Arizona-led science is using air-based maps of plant chemistry to improve carbon cycling models in hyperdiverse tropical forests.

Researchers monitored students' heart rates during medical school lectures to test the long-standing theory that active learning provides an attention reset.

A University of Arizona researcher describes how a cellular structure that was once lost to science combats attacks waged in the “world’s oldest war.” Her research is part of a larger renaissance in the field thanks to new techniques.

A new study provides insight into how the small brains of mantis shrimp – fierce predators with keen vision that are among the fastest strikers in the animal kingdom – are able to make sense of a breathtaking amount of visual input.

New University of Arizona-led research found that out of about 435,000 land plants on Earth, 36.5% are exceedingly rare and are clustered in hot spots.
