To prepare for future droughts, researchers are looking at plants’ first line of defense: stress responses in different types of root cells.

Dogs have a natural ability to process faces, a small study that put dogs in an fMRI machine shows.

Most mammals primarily process sound in a single area of their brain, but a new study shows that dolphins use at least two.

The human population explosion, usually said to stem from industrialization and public health in the 18th and 19th centuries, is actually the result of changes as far back as 2,000 years ago, according to new research.
