| Territorial red squirrels live longer when they're friendly with their neighbors Posted: 17 Dec 2020 10:53 AM PST Researchers found that red squirrels in the Yukon have a greater chance of survival when living near neighbors. These fitness benefits depended on familiarity, or how long the same squirrels lived next to each other. These benefits were more pronounced in older squirrels, whom the data suggested could sharply offset the effects of aging by maintaining all of their neighbors from one year to the next. |
| Ultra-thin designer materials unlock quantum phenomena Posted: 17 Dec 2020 10:53 AM PST New research has measured highly sought-after Majorana quantum states. |
| What's up, Skip? Kangaroos really can 'talk' to us, study finds Posted: 17 Dec 2020 10:52 AM PST Animals that have never been domesticated, such as kangaroos, can intentionally communicate with humans, challenging the notion that this behavior is usually restricted to domesticated animals like dogs, horses or goats, a new study has found. |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2020 08:20 AM PST While Genghis Khan and Mongol invasion is often blamed for the fall of Central Asia's medieval river civilizations, new research shows it may have been down to climate change. Researchers conducted analysis on the region and found that falling water levels may have led to the fall of civilizations around the Aral Sea Basin, as they depended on the water for irrigation-based farming. |
