Flowers grow stems, leaves and petals in a perfect pattern again and again. A new Cornell study shows that even in this precise, patterned formation in plants, gene activity inside individual cells is far more chaotic than it appears.
New research finds that territorial behavior and diet help explain why some birds sing more often at dawn, challenging traditional theories about dawn choruses.
With support from Cornell Atkinson, graduate students mentored undergraduates to conduct summer research on methane mitigation, food security and climate forecasting.
In the six weeks leading up to Earth Day, more than 200 Cornell student-athletes, coaches and community members exercised not only to strengthen their bodies, but also to restore corals in the South Pacific.
William Boyle ’55, MBA ’56, has given a significant gift to the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) to support renovations to the Plant Science Building.
Cornell AES manages farms and greenhouses that support research but are also unique teaching resources for over 40 courses. This is the sixth story in a series about on-farm teaching; in Cover Crops in Agroecosystems, students explore the uses of cover crops and assess their benefits.
A computer model analysis showed that global adoption of regenerative farming practices to improve soil health can benefit either greenhouse gas mitigation or crop yields but rarely both.
The vast agricultural landscape of the U.S. Midwest known as the Corn Belt acts as a barrier for migrating landbirds, causing them to adjust their flight behaviors similar to when crossing natural barriers like the Gulf of Mexico.
Four Cornell researchers were chosen from a competitive, global application pool to receive Bezos Earth Fund awards to use AI to address climate change and nature loss.
