Calling species ‘invasive’ – and culling them – isn’t done lightly. But it matters to Australia’s threatened species
Invasive species only want to live. But their success can come at great cost to native species. If we treat them the same, native animals lose.

Why Every Bump in the Night Feels Different: The Neuroscience of Sensory Perception (opens the original)
Research from Carnegie Mellon University’s Kate Hong, published in Nature Communications, suggests that the brain does more than receive sensory information: it interprets it, shaping how we experience the world around us.

Connected by nanotech: KU researcher leads $4 million, multistate NSF grant to decode diseases (opens the original)
Foundation Distinguished Professor Steve Soper is leading a team of researchers who are developing nanotechnology that can identify diseases and health anomalies by analyzing the structure of proteins involved in the disease down to the individual amino acid level. This approach could change how doctors detect…

Salmon and trout study aids insights on extreme DNA duplication event (opens the original)
A study of salmon and trout has revealed how gene functional activity changed following a complete duplication of their ancestors’ genetic material around 100 million years ago. The findings uncover the long-term impacts of whole genome duplication, a key event in evolution where the complete DNA code doubles…
