Play Video: Diversity in #tongues provides a way to study #evolution

An early interest in #reptile feeding behavior led evolutionary biologist Kurt Schwenk to study the tongues of lizards, amphibians and snakes. Like Charles Darwin's finches, the various forms and functions of #lizard tongues help piece together the story of how diversity of reptiles and amphibians evolved.

Play Video: Can a twice-a-year shot help end the HIV/AIDS epidemic?

HIV infects more than a million people every year worldwide. While decades of research have led to effective treatments and pre-exposure prophylactic (PrEP) drugs that have dramatically reduced the impact of HIV/AIDS epidemic, completely wiping the virus out has remained out of reach. Lenacapavir, a new twice-yearly PrEP injection, may be the solution. Two clinical trials this year showed the drug can offer near complete protection from HIV infection, and the long-lasting effects mean daily pills could be a thing of the past, as long as it is accessible to populations who need it most. Science journalist Jon Cohen, physician-scientist Linda-Gail Bekker, and biochemist Wesley Sundquist describe the history of HIV/AIDS prevention and the unique mechanism that led lenacapavir to be named the 2024 Breakthrough of the Year.

Play Video: See how a coral ‘walks’ | Science News

Young mushroom corals like this one start life on reefs, lurking for tiny prey. But before they get too heavy to nudge themselves along, they make one great migration off the reef, propelling themselves by puffing up on the outer rim of their dome-shaped body and, as the body pulses, jolting forward, as seen in this time-lapse video. It’s slow — an hour or two of “walking” couldn’t even cross a dinner plate — but eventually, they find some deeper place to settle on sand. Read more: Video: B.M.

Baboons at Tsaobis Nature Park in Namibia were given mirrors to play with. While they looked in the mirror, scientists would shine laser pointers on their faces. Even though the baboons pawed at the dot when it was on their arms or legs, they didn't touch their faces when they saw the dot in the mirror. The results suggest the primates might not be self-aware. Read more: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/wild-baboons-mirror-recognize-test Video: E.
