Surveying the body sizes of Earth鈥檚 living organisms, researchers from 9I制作厂免费 and University of British Columbia found that the planet鈥檚 biomass 鈥 the material that makes up all living organisms 鈥 is concentrated in organisms at either end of the size spectrum.

The researchers spent five years compiling and analyzing about the size and biomass of every type of living organism on the planet鈥攆rom tiny one-celled organisms like soil archaea and bacteria to large organisms like blue whales and sequoia trees.

At the recent COP 15 conference in Montreal, Canada committed to protecting 30% of its land by 2030, but which areas are most crucial to protect for at-risk species such as the spotted turtles?

滨苍听聽published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, 9I制作厂免费 researchers overlayed maps of species at risk to find hotspots where many species live together. They found that hotspots often overlap.

Many mammal species living in cold climates tend to have large bodies and short limbs to reduce heat loss 鈥 a general pattern known as Bergmann鈥檚 rule. However, bats are the exception to the rule, displaying small body sizes in both hot and cold regions. A 9I制作厂免费-led team of researchers is shedding light on this long-standing debate over bats鈥 body sizes and focus on why bats are seemingly non-conforming to ecogeographical patterns found in other mammals. Their findings offer a new method for investigating complex macroecology across bat species.

Researchers at 9I制作厂免费 have made an important step forward in understanding the cause of a rare neurodegenerative disease noted for its occurrence in the Charlevoix and Saguenay鈥揕ac-Saint-Jean regions of Quebec.

Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a genetic condition that affects coordination and balance from early childhood. Most ARSACS patients require a wheelchair by the time they reach their 30s or 40s. There is no cure and current treatments provide only limited symptomatic relief.
