The two populations show broad preference for salmon, particularly Chinook, chum and coho. But they differ in when they switch to hunting and eating different salmon species, as well as the other fish species they pursue to supplement their diets.

New research from the University of Washington provides a more complete picture for how the last Snowball Earth event ended, and suggests why it preceded a dramatic expansion of life on Earth, including the emergence of the first animals.

A pilot study showed that a small amount of ketamine can reduce or eliminate the withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting fentanyl.

This device is also resilient -- it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.

The din also lowers the overall success of their hunting efforts. Noise from ships likely has an outsized impact on southern resident orca pods, which spend more time in areas with high ship traffic.

This maturation was more pronounced in girls. When measured in terms of the number of years of accelerated brain development, the mean acceleration was 4.2 years in females and 1.4 years in males.

A paper published Aug. 30 in Current Biology revealed that when a male Anopheles coluzzii mosquito hears the sound of female-specific wingbeats, his eyes "activate" and he visually scans the immediate vicinity for a potential mate.

But these models can also improve systems that detect bots.

But since 2000, water managers have struggled to predict how much water will come from the snowpack. The problem lies with the lack of rainfall in the spring, according to new research from the University of Washington.

The study, which used a machine-learning algorithm to analyze millions of galaxies, found that galaxies found in denser regions of the universe are as much as 25% larger than isolated galaxies.

But far fewer respondents strongly opposed seeking out these media. Previous research has shown that other people viewing non-AI image-based abuse harms the victims significantly.

This could significantly lower the costs of training robots to function in complex settings.
