Unnatural evolutionary processes of SARS-CoV-2 variants and possibility of deliberate natural selection (zenodo.org)

As a result, we concluded that the formation of a part of Omicron isolates BA.1, BA.1.1, and BA.2 was not the product of genome evolution, as is commonly observed in nature, such as the accumulation of mutations and homologous recombinations. Furthermore, the study of 35 recombinant isolates of Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.2...

Tired of aggressively amorous males? These female frogs play dead (www.science.org)

Spring is a dangerous time to be a female European common frog. After a winter-long hibernation, these amphibians congregate in shallow ponds to mate and lay eggs. The gatherings can turn ugly fast; male frogs, which vastly outnumber females, will regularly harass, intimidate, and coerce their counterparts into mating....

Research Identifies Optimal Duration of Everyday Activities for Health Advantages (www.theinnovativehorizon.com)

In the age of speed and technology, people mistakenly believe that only hard and strict workouts can be useful for health. The Lancet Public Health, however, presents an enlightening perspective on the matter when it comes to new research. The Power of Small, Everyday Movements A University of Sydney ground breaking study led by...

Researchers identify link between gut bacteria and pre-clinical autoimmunity and aging in rheumatoid arthritis (medicalxpress.com)

While the bacteria in the intestine are helpful for digesting food and fighting infections, they have long been suspected to play an essential role in triggering rheumatoid arthritis. This chronic inflammatory disorder affects the joints.

Guide stars found as Euclid's navigation fine tuned (www.esa.int)

Euclid has found its ‘lost’ guide stars as a software patch has solved its navigation woes and the next six years of observation schedules have been redesigned to avoid stray sunlight: it’s the end of an interesting commissioning phase and Euclid will now undergo its final testing in full ‘science mode’.

Fear of the human “super predator” pervades the South African savanna (www.cell.com)

Lions have long been perceived as Africa’s, if not the world’s, most fearsome terrestrial predator,the “king of beasts”. Wildlife’s fear of humans may, however, be far more powerful and all-prevailing, as recent global surveys show that humans kill prey at much higher rates than other predators, due partly to...
