An international team of scientists have identified candidate resistance genes that could protect ash trees from the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), a deadly pest that is expected to kill billions of trees worldwide. In the new study, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, researchers from Queen Mary University of London and the Royal Botanic Gardens, […] Read more
Resistant trees found to resist ash borer
Science Notes: Gene editing could place resistance genes into ash species currently affected by EAB
Chicks born with ability to distinguish and avoid dangers
Science Notes: Appropriate reactions to predators key to survival
Chicks are born with the know-ledge to flee from predators rather than learning it from experience, according to a study by University of Trento in Italy and Queen Mary University of London. Researchers also found that newborn chicks know to slow down or stop moving to avoid being noticed when a predator is far away. […] Read more
