The University of Florida has partnered with several federal and state agencies on a large-scale python removal project to protect the Everglades. The project combines Burmese python ecology with removal efforts to maximize opportunities to expand knowledge of their biology and habitat use and estimate their abundance and ultimately reduce the population in the Everglades.
The brown basilisk, a nonnative lizard, is gaining ground across South and Central Florida, and University of Florida scientists need more data to determine its status and potential impacts
Scientists discovered the first-ever Dickinsonia fossil in India two years ago, changing our understanding of how the continent came to be. Now, new research shows the "fossil" was just a beehive all along, changing our understanding for a second time, and the original scientists now support the new findings.
A device developed at the University of Florida for the U.S. military provides protection from mosquitos for an extended period and requires no heat, electricity or skin contact.
A University of Florida scientist receives a national Institute of Food and Agriculture grant to develop a computer model using his existing technology to more quickly and accurately count damaged or dead crops.
Findings from a newly published study provide further evidence suggesting that the breast milk of those vaccinated against COVID-19 may help protect babies from the illness
Newly published study shows that managers are likely to express bias, particularly in implicit forms.
A study finds that a mismatch exists between the scientific tools -- thermometers, magnifying lenses -- parents know they have at home and the ones kids think are available. This mismatch could hurt scientific education at home.
Two drugs -- one brand new -- reverse pancreatic cell changes that presage one of the hardest cancers to treat. Tested in cells, the drugs would be a promising early cancer treatment if they work in clinical trials.
New research published in the journal Marketing Science found that Amazon retailers are deceiving consumers with fake discounts when they have actually increased prices overnight.
Researchers at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences have made a breakthrough -- discovering new, natural sweeteners in citrus for the first time.
Mary Lusk, a UF/IFAS assistant professor of soil, water, and ecosystem sciences, wrote a new article for the journal Lancet Planetary Health in which she connects climate change with septic systems.
First fern genomes provides insight into massive DNA accumulation.
Entomologist and ecologist Matthew Thomas named director of the new Invasion Science Research Institute (ISRI).
Creation of the UF/IFAS institute will expand the scope of the existing Food Systems Institute.
Adding to a growing body of research on mental health and the human microbiome, a new study compared the bacteria in the saliva of students with and without recent thoughts of suicide, called suicidal ideation
Using our smartphone — but not a borrowed phone — makes us more likely to choose products tailored to our style.
Scientists, including Josh Patterson from the University of Florida, are stepping up efforts to enhance populations of the long-spined sea urchin – known scientifically as Diadema antillarum to support coral reef ecosystems.
The university is home to the world’s largest occupied bat houses, a trio of raised structures located on campus across from Lake Alice on Museum Road. Together, two of these houses shelter an estimated 500,000 bats — possibly the biggest bat colony east of the Mississippi River. Crowds gather regularly to watch the twilight spectacle of bats streaming from the houses to hunt insects under the cover of darkness. Now, with the oldest and most densely occupied bat house dilapidated beyond repair, UF staff will attempt to woo its residents into the newest bat barn, which has remained devoid of bats since its construction in 2017.
So-called "aromatic" blueberries taste better. With new research, University of Florida scientists now know why, and their findings will help future plant breeding efforts.
