Studying how temperature affects mortality rates is crucial in environmental health research. Traditional methods often rely on precise models, but these models can't capture all the complexities involved. This study introduces a new, flexible approach that doesn't just look for simple patterns but
Ever thought about how ants and plants hang out together? It's all about mutual benefit. Some plants make sweet treats called extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) for ants. In return, ants guard the plants against hungry critters. But what happens when it gets hot? A study in Brazil's Caatinga dry forest fo

This week, Metro Detroit is in for a weather rollercoaster ride. As we wrap up the weekend, expect some sunshine and warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the 40s on Sunday. But don't get too comfortable, as a strong low-pressure system is moving in on Monday, bringing rain showers and temperatur
Scientists recently studied how quickly lowering humidity in incubators affects tiny, extremely preterm babies. They wanted to see if suddenly stopping or slowly reducing the humidity caused temperature issues, like getting too cold or hot, or problems with their body's salt balance or skin. The stu
You might have heard of the chikungunya virus (CHIKV). It's a virus spread by mosquitoes, and its cases have been on the rise globally due to changes in climate and increased travel. One of the mosquitoes that can carry this virus is called Aedes albopictus, and it's not native to places like Centra
Get ready, Columbia! Today is breezy and normal, but a cold front is on its way. Expect a chill tonight, with temperatures dropping to the 20s.
