A projected rise in droughts could muddy the waters for painted turtles and some fellow freshwater-dwelling reptiles, says 11 years of data collected by 50-plus Husker undergrads.
A 2020 incident in New York City’s Central Park spurred Husker ornithologist Dai Shizuka to turn his research lens toward diversifying the ornithology field, and has earned funding from the National Science Foundation to complete the work.
In a long-term study of a new swine flu vaccination approach, Nebraska scientists confirmed that their effort to create a more broad-based vaccine against influenza resulted in a stronger and more long-lasting immune response than a commercial vaccine now in wide use.
This edition of Nebraska Today’s Research Roundup looks at climate through two distinct lenses: that of vibrant birds whose groups reflect the varying climes of Australia, and the Husker researchers extracting image-based info on plant responses to drought.
A limited menu of prey may weave a tangled food web by emboldening wolf spiders of multiple species to dine on each other and even cannibalize their own, says a study from Husker researchers.
