Researchers in Iran have modelled the current and future distribution of the Persian leopard, incorporating prey availability and climate projections. The study predicts that up to nearly 40% of suitable habitat in Fars Province could be lost by 2070 due to climate shifts.

Researchers evaluated habitat preferences for two threatened fish species in New Mexico using divergent statistical approaches. While the findings support vegetation and pool restoration, the inconsistency in analytical methods between species suggests varying levels of certainty in the data.

Researchers have identified and characterized a highly efficient bacterial isolate, Rhodococcus qingshengii SB1D, capable of desulfurizing multiple thiophenic compounds found in diesel. Genomic analysis confirmed its identity and revealed the sulfur-specific 4S pathway responsible for this process. This discovery holds significant promise as a valuable biocatalyst for industrial biodesulfurization applications.
