Interactions similar to rock-paper-scissors help maintain color diversity in some lizard species, but the introduction of a dominant new phenotype can disrupt this balance and lead to color loss. doi.org/hbhxh4
How a biological version of rock-paper-scissors determines if lizard colors are maintained or lost
Two new studies into lizard colors reveal how one species maintains its colorful diversity while others are losing their ancient colors.

High-energy particles streaming through space can damage DNA and increase cancer risk, but antioxidants, tardigrades and hibernation could help astronauts make the journey safely.
Before trips to Mars, we need better protection from cosmic rays

Why does eating less extend lifespan? 🧬 Mutation accumulation underpins evolution of lifespan extension by dietary restriction We often think about saving energy or recycling waste - but we show how evolution acting on mutation load can generate longer life on low food 🧵 🔗 tinyurl.com/jn5ryhxv
Restricting calories has been linked to living longer in many studies, and now it seems that the drug rapamycin has nearly the same effect, at least in animals
Rapamycin seems to boost longevity as effectively as eating less

In my latest piece for @uk.theconversation.com, I explain our latest research with @eivimeycook.bsky.social and @alexeimaklakov.bsky.social on how eating less, rapamycin and metformin affect lifespan. Read it here: theconversation.com/anti-ageing-... #ageing #longevity #sciencecommunication
Anti-ageing drug rapamycin may extend life almost as effectively as restricting calories – our new research
Scientists compared diet, rapamycin and metformin in search for longevity boost.

Check out our new preprint where we explored the link between male ageing and gut microbiota in fruit flies! It has been a pleasure to work with @mdonertas.bsky.social 😊
Melike Dönertaş@mdonertas.bsky.social · last yr.Super happy to share our new preprint with Zahida Sultanova and an amazing team! We explored how age-related changes in gut microbiota associate with life history traits - lifespan, reproduction, and performance - in male Drosophila melanogaster. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Hi Bluesky! I want my first post here to be my cat, Mihri, because why not 😊
