This rainforest tree solved one of evolution’s hardest problems. Here’s how it evolved to use tension and geometry to fire ...

A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

Laura holds a Master's in Experimental Neuroscience and a Bachelor's in Biology from Imperial College London. Her areas of ...

Biologists are confronting a problem they thought they had mostly solved: what, exactly, counts as life. A wave of ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...

Biologists are quietly rewriting what it means to be alive, and the human body has become one of their strangest frontiers.

Abstract: The classification of tree species for overhead transmission lines (OHTL) is of great significance, facilitating the the timely removal of safety hazards posed by trees on power lines.

Scientists have found that a single tree can be home to a trillion microbial cells — an invisible ecosystem that is only beginning to be understood. A black oak in the Yale-Myers Forest of northern ...

As apple trees mature, their growth slows—but the biological cues driving this shift have remained elusive. A new study uncovers the role of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, in signaling this age-dependent ...

Introduction: The unmanned aerial vehicle -based light detection and ranging (UAV-LiDAR) can quickly acquire the three-dimensional information of large areas of vegetation, and has been widely used in ...
