Poplar trees redirect resources in response to simulated attack

... for taking a snapshot in time showing the precise location of the radiotracer within the plant. With this and other techniques, the scientists can compare what that plant does with the carbon dioxide both before and after an attack. "Carbon dioxide is a plant's major resource. To see how it is allocated int...

Researchers reveal the infectious impact of salmon farms on wild salmon

...time to put on body mass and build resistance. The location of the farm near the natal rivers undermines this natural coping strategy. The field study also discovered a new cause for alarm: once the young salmon pass the farm and pick up the sea lice, the migrating school becomes a moving cloud of contagions...
