Louise Ferguson is with the Department of Plant Sciences at UC Davis, a UC Cooperative Extension Specialist. She noted that research is underway on why a Navel Orangeworm adult lays its egg on a pistachio shell.

Scientists announced this month they have successfully sequenced the whitebark pine genome, a development that could help whitebark pine restoration be more affordable and efficient across the tree’s range.

The mystery identity of several fossils that have puzzled scientists for decades has been unraveled.

In a November article in Science magazine, journalist Rachael Zamzow informs us that many social scientists believe that every published paper should

A breakthrough in the fight to save whitebark pines has been reached through the sequencing of the species' genome, a milestone scientists say could help the high-altitude tree endure environmental challenges.

Proximal remote sensing provides a bridge between ecosystem flux data at Earth’s surface and optical data from satellite sensors, improving our grasp of feedbacks between terrestrial ecosystems and climate.

On Dec. 12, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Justice Department jointly released a proposed rule to place 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) and 2,5-dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetamine (DOC) in Schedule I under the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

In 2023, yellow potatoes made up about 40% of the potatoes grown by Red River Valley farmers, said Ted Kreis, Northern Plains Potato Growers Association Potato Bytes newsletter editor

Researchers have sequenced the whitebark pine genome, presenting new opportunities to help the threatened, high-altitude tree endure environmental challenges. “Sequencing the whitebark pine reference genome is an important scientific contribution,” said project lead David Neale,...
