Despite being widespread and abundant during plagues, its populations are otherwise difficult to access, and its reproductive behaviors in the field are understudied. We show that female locusts behaviorally overcome the costs of male mating harassment: females occupy separate sites before and after mati...

A significant body of work has been done on fish oil as both an add-on treatment and a stand-alone treatment for depression, says Dr. Mischoulon. “By and large, studies collectively support that taking omega-3s is effective and safe,” he says. The problem is that there’s a lot of variability in how studies have been designed, in terms of dosing, the size of the study, and the source and formulation of the fish oil itself, so the conclusions of the research should be interpreted somewhat cautiously, Mischoulon expla...
