Only a percentage of avocados ever make it to harvest, but CSIRO research is working on ways to combat what is called immature fruit abscission or early fruit drop, a major challenge faced by growers.

Someone taking a weight-loss drug might leave half their dinner because they feel comfortably full. They might also stop because they feel nauseous. Measuring the leftovers would reveal the same result, but tell researchers little about why the person stopped eating.

The loss of Earth's animal and plant species is a crisis. Just don't call it an "extinction crisis" if you aim to mobilize public concern.

A pilot project in which Indigenous people in the Peruvian Amazon were given an unconditional basic income significantly improved community well-being, strengthened food security and supported rainforest protection, according to analysis by the University of Bath released today.

Have you ever binge-watched Bluey or a British crime drama and caught yourself imitating the characters' accents out loud? Rest assured, you are not alone. While it's a common belief that picking up someone else's accent just happens automatically, new research from The Ohio State University suggests that people actually have considerable control over when they adopt or suppress someone else's accent.

A new study has characterized the "average" human genome, providing key information on normal human genetic variation and genetic disease risk. The researchers conclude that everyone—regardless of their current health status—could potentially be told they are at risk for numerous conditions based on their genetics alone.

A study led by the University of Malaga has shown that Ebola outbreaks do not occur randomly over time; rather, their occurrence is linked to specific large-scale meteorological patterns, including oscillations in regions thousands of miles away from Central Africa, where an epidemic of this potentially fatal disease is underway.

Technion researchers have presented evidence for the existence of solar-storm-like outbursts near supermassive black holes, which can be a million times larger than the sun or more. The phenomenon was discovered in the vicinity of the black hole in the galaxy NGC 3783, and the researchers' findings were published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

We've all done it: convinced ourselves that if we can't donate enough money to a cause, it's better not to give at all. But new research led by Jean Zhang, now a postdoctoral researcher at the Wharton School, suggests we're setting the bar for generosity far too high.

Biological clocks are often associated with light. Historically, most people started their days when the sun was up and ended their days when the sun set. But new research from Carnegie Mellon University suggests that some of the body's most important timekeepers live in the gut.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have found that adding emotion management skills to family-based behavioral weight management may help adolescents maintain weight loss after treatment ends.

A new study of more than 1 million births led by McMaster University researchers has found that gaining too much weight during pregnancy, regardless of a person's starting weight, is linked to a higher risk of life-threatening maternal complications.
