Coyotes are the largest of the mammalian carnivores to have made their way to, and thrived in, urban settings. The coyote is "the test case for other animals," a researcher says, such as wolves, bears and mountain lions.
Transportation practices tend to be more environmentally friendly in wealthier metropolitan areas located within states that mandate comprehensive planning, new research suggests.

Taking enough omega-3 fatty acid supplements to change the balance of oils in the diet could slow a key biological process linked to aging, new research suggests.
A common type of geographic mapping software offers a new way to study human remains.
Coyotes living in cities don’t ever stray from their mates, according to a new study. The finding sheds light on why the North American cousin of the dog and wolf, which is originally native to deserts and plains, is thriving today in urban areas.
The presidential debates offer viewers a lot of substance about the issues of the campaign -- but postdebate media coverage can undermine the value they have for voters, a new study suggests.
More than one-third of young adults who reported being victims of dating violence as teenagers had two or more abusive partners, a new study suggests.
The U.S. seems poised to make one of the largest cuts ever in research funding – a decision that could have long-lasting and far-reaching implications for our collective future.
A recent study examined people’s bodily responses while watching presidential campaign ads - and discovered another way that people avoid political information that challenges their beliefs.
A high-fat diet triggers chemical reactions in female mice that could explain why women are more likely than men to gain fat in the abdomen after eating excess saturated fat, new research suggests. The study also sheds light on why women gain fat following menopause.
The injection of a tiny capsule containing heat-generating cells into the abdomens of mice led those animals to burn abdominal fat and initially lose about 20 percent of belly fat after 80 days of treatment.
Scientists have found that eliminating an enzyme from mice with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease leads to a 90 percent reduction in the compounds responsible for formation of the plaques linked to this form of dementia.
New research suggests that violent video games may not make players more aggressive – if they play cooperatively with other people.
A new national survey of more than 1,000 registered nurses suggests that serious barriers - including resistance from nursing leaders - prevent nurses from implementing evidence-based practices that improve patient outcomes.
New research casts doubt on the widely held theory that individual investors’ decisions are driven mainly by their feelings toward losses and gains.
Some RNA molecules spend time in a restful state akin to hibernation rather than automatically carrying out their established job of delivering protein-building instructions in cells. Protein production in cells is not as clear-cut as biology textbooks suggest, scientists say.
Algae are high on the genetic engineering agenda as a potential source for biofuel, and they should be subjected to independent studies of any environmental risks that could be linked to cultivating algae for this purpose, two prominent researchers say.
Married couples who undergo long-term separations appear to be those who can’t afford to divorce, a new nationwide study suggests.
Almost 41 percent of Ohioans have visited a state body of water in the past year, and of those, nearly one-half usually go to Lake Erie, according to a report. Ohio residents value their lakes and rivers but also face contaminants in those bodies of water.

Researchers have found a way to use GPS to measure short-term changes in the rate of ice loss on Greenland – and reveal a surprising link between the ice and the atmosphere above it.
Chronic exposure to dim light at night can lead to depressive symptoms in rodents -- but these negative effects can be reversed simply by returning to a standard light-dark cycle, a new study suggests.
In a new study that has implications for distracted drivers, researchers found that people are better at juggling some types of multitasking than they are at others.
New research has shown that a protein does something that scientists once thought impossible: It unfolds itself and refolds into a completely new shape. When it refolds, it acquires a new function – another finding researchers would not have predicted.
When hospital patients are placed on a mechanical ventilator for days at a time, their lungs react to the pressure with an out-of-control immune response. Researchers have discovered potential drug targets that might reduce the resulting inflammation.
Researchers who are studying a new magnetic effect that converts heat to electricity have discovered how to amplify it a thousand times over - a first step in making the technology more practical.
The fact that bin Laden was killed by a team of highly trained soldiers - and not by a drone or bomb - spoiled the grand narrative of brave Muslim fighters vs. U.S. technology that bin Laden and al Qaeda had developed in their war against the United States.
