One of the world's premier diving destinations owes its reputation as a hotspot of marine biodiversity to being undisturbed over millions of years, according to a study led by UA ecologists.

While the United States is one of the largest tomato producers in the world, imports play an important role in satisfying demand for fresh tomatoes since most U.S. production is destined for the processed market.

Researchers have pinpointed a dominant genetic mutation that makes cotton bollworms, one of the world’s most destructive crop pests, resistant to genetically engineered cotton.

As part of the University Climate Change Coalition, the UA will collaborate with other top research institutions dedicated to finding practical solutions to climate challenges.

An international team led by Teddy Kareta, a doctoral student at the UA's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, investigated (3200) Phaethon, a bizarre asteroid that sometimes behaves like a comet, and found it even more enigmatic than previously thought.

UA scientists have been studying the pink bollworm for decades, with their research playing an integral role in the eradication of one of the world's most devastating crop pests.

A $1.075 million grant from the National Science Foundation allows the UA to continue helping underrepresented students through the Bridge to the Doctorate Program.

The new Cloud Infrastructure Renewal Center will focus on developing sustainable data centers and educating students to engineer, operate and manage them.

The Hurwitz Lab corrals big data sets into a more searchable form to help scientists study microorganisms and how they relate to each other, their hosts and the environment.

A UA-led research team used tree rings to trace the north-south shifts of the tropics back 800 years. They found that periods of tropical expansion coincided with severe droughts.
