How many tree species inhabit the Earth?
02-02-2022…sms, the more precise estimation of the species number. “Approximately 2 mln species have been described so far. However, it is expected there are as many as ten times more at least, reaching up to 20 mln species we have not identified yet. Some scientists consider the number of 100 mln species to be discovered and described. This number includes about 400,000 vascular plants. In 2020, according to scientists from the Royal Kew Botanic Gardens, UK…

Dr Katarzyna Bandyra awarded the EMBO Installation Grant
19-01-2022…. I will characterise the full-length enzyme biochemically and structurally, and investigate its capacity to bind substrates in the degradative and non-degradative modes. Subsequently, I will search for PNPase protein partners and RNA substrates using complementary pull-down and fractionation techniques in order to identify potential hPNPase ternary complexes,” explains Dr Bandyra. The study results will illuminate the biological role of PNPase…

Astronomers Analyse Impact of Starlink Satellites

Is there life on extrasolar planets?
11-01-2022…use variable stars called LSP. We think that these stars are actually binary systems in which a bright giant star is orbited by a mysterious object submerged in a dusty cloud. We suspect that this object is a former planet that accreted some matter lost by the star in the form of the stellar wind during last stages of its evolution,” as Dr Skowron explained. LSP stars in the OGLE project Dr Dorota Skowron from the UW Astronomical Observatory h…

Life of conodonts

This creates a record similar to tree rings, where each episode of the organism’s life is preserved”, as Leonhard described. “Advanced conodonts, which fed as predators, usually have surfaces of wear and damage resulting from gnawing on hard prey, but the most primitive conodonts did not show such traces. Tooth-like struc…
