Researchers from the University of Maine are working to test and adapt scallop farming techniques to help grow the industry in the Gulf of Maine. This study analyzes the economic advantages and disadvantages of two common methods of scallop aquaculture: ear-hanging and lantern net techniques. Researchers used their results to develop a user-friendly application that compares the different costs and possibilities associated with starting scallop farms.

Human eyes are complex and irreparable, yet they are structurally like those of the freshwater apple snail, which can completely regenerate its eyes. A new study shows that apple snail and human eyes share many anatomical and genetic features.
New research from the University of Zurich suggests that gorillas may be using a similar strategy as humans: when moving to a new social group, female gorillas seek out groups containing females they have lived with in the past and avoid males they grew up with.
A new paper in Annals of Botany indicates that pollination can have a dramatic effect on how plants grow and change. The study shows that when plants and pollinators become uncoordinated (even for a brief time) that can change who reproduces best and alter plant diversity. The paper offers new insights into how evolution works in real time.
A robot crab has helped scientists understand how male fiddler crabs compete over females.
