These inventions relate to the genomic features of deep seabed species but also encompass techniques developed to determine these features or to isolate active compounds.
The researchers will monitor the growth of this vegetation around newly formed thermokarst features and use experimental field plots to test how conditions mimicking such features affect which species will thrive.
Bats prefer to roost in natural features like trees and caves, but as development has made those environments scarcer, some species have adapted to urban areas.
This is because the new fossil and 1470 share several features, including the flat face below the nose and dental structure, which once led to the species' separation.
The fact that it has human-like features suggests that human-chimp speciation may have occurred over a long period with episodes of hybridisation between the emerging species.
