Landscape transcriptomics may give insight into what stresses wild bees

A new method of examining gene expression patterns called landscape transcriptomics may help pinpoint what causes bumble bees stress and could eventually give insight into why bee populations are declining overall, according to a study led by researchers at Penn State. The team published their findings in the journal Molecular Ecology.

Scientists discover how yeast cells sense physical stresses on the membranes that protect them

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which they perform these roles are not yet fully understood. Scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble (IBS) and the University of Fribourg (UNIFR), have used cryo-electron microscopy to observe how lipids and proteins at the plasma membrane interact and react to mechanical stress.

The Hidden Micro-Stresses Ruling Your Life—and How to Stop Them

Small annoyances happen to all of us every day and they may not garner much sympathy due to their trivial nature—but things soon add up.

Farmed salmon and chicken have a global footprint — but the burden is concentrated

A small fraction of Earth’s surface bears almost all of the environmental stresses resulting from industrial salmon and chicken farming.

For me, #December brings memories of #Christmas smells & glitter, flickering lights & a growing #excitement.

However, this time of year brings as many #worries & #stresses as it does #wonders & #delights.

Not everyone likes or wishes to remember their past, & places, smells, sounds & #expectations can be too much for many people.

Let this Christmas be the gift that you want & need, whatever that may be.

May love rekindle & maintain the #sacred fire inside us all. 🌟

Today's M7.3 #earthquake near #Tonga was a different type of event, generated by compression in the outer rise due to the bending of the #subducting slab. The shallow part of the outer rise is usually experiencing tensional #stresses and produces normal faulting quakes. The deeper section is in compression, causing reverse #faulting #earthquakes, usually with low #tsunami generating potential due to their depth.
