Scientists Bring a Gal??pagos Plant Back From the Brink of Extinction
4+ day, 15+ hour ago (510+ words) The Galápagos snapdragon, once close to disappearing, is showing encouraging signs of recovery through a long-term partnership between the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galápagos National Park Directorate. For decades, the Galápagos snapdragon was known from little more than a…...
Date seeds dug out of Herod's fortress at Masada and three other Judean desert sites sat in storage at room temperature for decades, and when a team soaked thirty-three of them and potted thirty-two, six grew into living palms whose seed shells date to between the fourth century BCE and the second century CE once a correction for modern carbon absorbed during growth is applied
4+ day, 17+ hour ago (291+ words) Seven ancient Judean date seeds have been germinated and genotyped. That the seeds grew is not what the one critic to respond on the paper's own page contests. What he questions is whether the radiocarbon dates record when they grew....
Genomics shows history matters more than age for ancient trees
1+ week, 4+ day ago (1158+ words) Genome sequencing of the rare Chinese swamp cypress shows that an ancient tree's genetic value depends on its history, not on how long it has lived. Conservation planners tend to treat every ancient tree as a genetic vault. The oldest…...
