Study highlights mismatches between aesthetic value of reef fishes and their conservation priorities

What's the relationship between people's perception of beauty and animals' conservation needs? According to a machine-learning study by Nicolas Mouquet at the University of Montpellier, France, and colleagues, publishing June 7th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, the reef fishes that people find most beautiful tend to be the lowest priority for conservation support.

Measuring agrobiodiversity in farms, markets, and on plates

What foods comes to your mind when you think about "The Mediterranean Diet"? For most people, the term evokes strong associations with fresh, minimally-processed ingredients – olive oil, fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, followed by fish and animal products – together making up a form of local food production and consumption that holds societal, economic, and cultural benefits.

Study explains how liver regeneration may help treat liver disease in mice

Other vertebrates, such as fish and lizards, can regenerate organs more effectively than mammals. Salk researchers have discovered a mechanism to partially restore the young condition of liver cells, allowing them to repair damaged tissue at a quicker rate than previously thought.

Towards an effluent analysis tool for predicting harmful effects of endocrine disruptors

Treating pollutants, such as endocrine disruptors, is an effective way to protect the environment. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that alter the hormonal systems and the development of organisms that are exposed to them, even in small quantities.
