Researchers found that urban female sparrows invest more time and energy into parental care than their rural counterparts, yet have significantly lower reproductive success.
Researchers from IISST used simple polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to partially correct a turbulent laser beam and restore its statistical order.
A new zoological discovery has been announced, with the description of a new genus and species of freshwater crab belonging to the family Gecarcinucidae.
Frog and toad communities remain surprisingly stable across both urban and rural settings, suggesting increased resilience or a lag phase with effects yet to be observed. Loss of habitat and pollution, a worry.
A new discovery has added six butterfly species previously unrecorded in India, with one, the Litin Onyx, known only from Laos, representing a massive range extension into the Eastern Himalayas.
Ecological droughts are on the rise in India's pristine forests and croplands, driven primarily by meteorological aridity and ocean warming, posing a major threat to the country's sustainability and food security.
New research reveals India's forest monitoring fails to capture social and economic health, leading to a comprehensive new blueprint that include vital social and economic dimensions and introduces a comprehensive list of 28 indicators and 64 sub-indicators to create a robust, evidence-based system for monitoring and reporting.

Sodium butyrate, a compound naturally produced by the gut microbiome, has been identified as a negative regulator of antibody-based immunity, compromising protection against viral infection in mice.
This new effort provides a single, high-quality, and comprehensive database that maps the environmental, physical, and human landscapes of the catchments for all 5,715 large dams in the country.
Untreated stream water acts as a critical environmental reservoir, enriching the human gut with resistance genes to metals and biocides, while tubewell use drives a greater focus on traditional drug resistance.
A new study from arid Bikaner in Rajasthan has demonstrated a novel, farm-level strategy to tackle the interconnected crises of water scarcity, energy demand, and climate change. It demonstrates that simple changes to crop choice and soil management can dramatically improve the sustainability of farming systems.
