Bislang dachte man, dass weibliche Untreue nur dann entstehen kann, wenn sie sich für die Weibchen lohnt. Gemäß einer Langzeitstudie an Zebrafinken kann sie bereits auftreten, wenn die verantwortlichen Gene den männlichen Vorfahren nützlich waren.
Männchen liegen die Vorteile, selbst außerpaarlichen Nachwuchs zu zeugen, auf der Hand
The degradation of the cell wall component pectin through the acquisition of an originally microbial enzyme enables leaf beetles to access to the nutrient-rich constituents of plant cells.
„On the one hand, this result was a bit of a surprise for us.
Methane is formed from seagrass meadows, even decades after the plants died off
On the one hand, they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it underground
Chemists in Mülheim devise a new way of optimising enzymes for industrial applications

Researchers showed that isothiocyanates produced by cruciferous plants to fend off pests serve as oviposition cues for the diamondback moth, a major agricultural pest.

Playing an instrument presents an enormous challenge for our brains. How exactly the brain masters the complex coordination tasks needed to meet that challenge is the subject of two new studies. The first one identified the region of the brain in which a musical idea becomes a finger movement during solo playing. The second one shows that when playing duets, the brains of both musicians must be on the same “wavelength.”
One pianist would play the melody with his or her right hand, while the other performed
