World's largest bee found again after nearly four decades

Pesticide sprays have long been recognised as a threat to honey bees. In a new study, researchers uncovered the influence of such sprays on bees' sense of smell, which could disrupt their social signalling.

According to new data from the largest UK community research study, eating within a 10-hour window gives health benefits regarding mood, energy, and hunger.

Researchers have devised a growth chart for tracking muscle mass in growing youngsters using artificial intelligence and the largest paediatric brain MRI dataset to date. The new study, led by Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, discovered that their artificial intelligence-based tool is the first to offer a standardised, accurate, and reliable way to assess and track muscle mass indicators on routine MRI. Their findings were published in Nature Communications today.

The sky is no longer the limit - but flying is risky. We lose many of the clues we need to orient ourselves when we leave the Earth's surface, and this spatial disorientation can be fatal. Astronauts typically require extensive training to protect themselves against it. However, scientists have discovered that wearable devices that vibrate to provide orientation cues may considerably improve the efficacy of this training, making spaceflight slightly safer.

A ground-breaking investigation on the most recent evolutionary change in natural populations has been published by an international team of academics. Nearly 4,000 Darwin's finches make up one of the largest genomic datasets yet created for animals living in their natural habitat, which is used in this work. The study has identified the genetic underpinnings of adaption in this famous population. The journal Science has published the findings.

Researchers have found that people with severe psoriasis are at higher cardiovascular risk in the largest investigation to date on the association between severe psoriasis and coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Researchers found that pandas outside their latitude were less active, perhaps because daylight and temperature cues differed at different latitudes.

According to researchers, most wild bees are solitary, but one tiny species of carpenter bees meticulously cares for and raises their offspring, which results in significant benefits to the developing bee's microbiome, development, and health.

Trees should be pollinated by both honey bees and mason bees for the best cherry harvest. A recent study performed by a University of Gothenburg professor demonstrates yet another advantage of biodiversity.
