Nature Today | Surprising discovery: Shade plants capture more …
Jan 18, 2025 · Plants in the shade utilize more light for photosynthesis than previously thought. A team of researchers from Utrecht University and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) describe how, in the scientific journal Plant Cell & Environment. Their conclusions not only advance research into the functioning of photosynthesis in shady conditions, but may also benefit greenhouse horticulture.
Nature Today | Scientists discover new ecosystem underneath ...
A new ecosystem has been discovered in volcanic caves beneath hydrothermal vents at a well-studied undersea volcano at 2.500 metres below sea level. Using an underwater robot, scientists overturned chunks of volcanic crust, discovering cave systems teeming with worms, snails, and chemosynthetic bacteria living in 25 degrees Celsius water.

Looking for ‘LUCA’ and the timing of cellular evolution
22-NOV-2023 - LUCA, the ‘last universal common ancestor’ of all living organisms, lived 4.32 to at most 4.52 billion years ago. This is indicated by a study from NIOZ biologists Tara Mahendrarajah and senior author Anja Spang, with collaborating partners from Universities in Bristol, Hungary and Tokyo, that was published today in Nature Communications.

Eocene climate change brought monsoons to dry Central Asia
An increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere 56 million years ago abruptly led to a wetter Central Asia with more plant growth. The publication in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience by an international group of scientists, among whom Carina Hoorn from the University of Amsterdam (UvA), sheds light on how our future will be shaped by global climate change.
