Bridging the Science-Practice Gap in Animal Production & Cli

A novel passive acoustic monitoring system has captured the sounds and movements of porpoises entangled in a fishing net, providing unprecedented insight into their behavior during bycatch events.

The Galápagos snapdragon, once reduced to a mere six individuals, is showing signs of recovery thanks to a dedicated, multi-decade conservation initiative. This effort involved meticulous propagation, careful reintroduction, and innovative water conservation techniques to combat the species' vulnerability to drought.

A recent study successfully isolated and characterized four geometric isomers of ζ-carotene, a crucial intermediate in carotenoid biosynthesis. The research unveils their distinct light absorption properties, photoisomerization behavior, and significant antioxidant and antiglycation activities, positioning them as promising natural ingredients for skincare and nutricosmetics.
