The ‘Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event’ represents the rapid diversification of marine organisms during the middle Ordovician. As the initial stage of the ‘Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event’, the ‘Ordovician Plankton Revolution’ played a crucial role in the increase of biodiversity in the Ordovician. The occurrence, phylogeny, diversity and abundance of caryocaridids, an important and

We found the study of Majhi et al. (2021) very interesting. The authors did an excellent job of evaluating the 100 USLE-based soil erosion studies undertaken in India and outlining the problems and errors encountered while estimating the USLE erosion factors in these studies. According to the authors, practically every study of the 100 research examined either overestimated or underestimated at least

Andrew Robinson reviews five of the week’s best science picks.

A strong material becomes more rigid or more relaxed when its constituent gears are spun.

A long-running La Niña climate event could persist into 2023. Plus, breast cancer cells are more likely to go rogue at night, and research to quantify and reduce inequality.

The lineages’ rise seems to stem from their ability to infect people who were immune to earlier forms of Omicron and other variants.

‘Microorganism’ is a misnomer when it comes to centimetre-long Thiomargarita magnifica.

Membranes with methane-excluding pores can remove nitrogen and carbon dioxide from natural gas in an energy-efficient and cost-effective way.

Scientists can now check whether a journal website has been cloned before submitting their manuscript.

This article presents a comprehensive hydrometeorological dataset collected over the past two decades throughout the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. The data-recording sites, located in the upper portion of the Rio Santa valley, also known as the Callejon de Huaylas, span an elevation range of 3738–4750 m a.s.l. As many historical hydrological stations measuring daily discharge across the region became defunct

Bacterial pathogens in surface waters may threaten human health, especially in developing countries, where untreated surface water is often used for domestic needs. The objective of the long-term multiscale monitoring of Escherichia coli ([E. coli]) concentration in stream water, and that of associated variables (temperature (T), electrical conductance (EC), dissolved oxygen concentration ([DO]) and

Chemist who developed ways to synthesize and depict bioactive products.

African researchers have been warning about monkeypox outbreaks for years. As vaccines are deployed globally, they worry they will be left behind.

Meteorologists are forecasting a third consecutive year of La Niña. Some researchers say similar conditions could become more common as the planet warms.

The heart, the first organ to develop, undergoes complex morphogenesis that when defective results in congenital heart disease (CHD). With current therapies, more than 90% of CHD patients survive into adulthood but often suffer premature death from heart failure (HF) and non-cardiac causes 1. To gain insight into poorly understood disease progression, we performed single nuclear RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq)

There is a well-documented gap in the observed number of scientific works produced by women and men in science, with clear consequences for the retention and promotion of women in science1. The gap might be a result of productivity differences2-5, or it might be due to women’s contributions not being acknowledged6,7. This paper finds that at least part of this gap is due to the latter: women in research
