A stable gut helps elite athletes perform better: Short-term high protein diets may hinder endurance athletes, new study finds
New research has found that microbial instability in the gut could hinder the performance of elite endurance athletes, and that short-term, high-protein diets are associated with this type of imbalance. Researchers from across the UK analysed the performance and gut health of a group of well-matched, highly trained endurance runners, to explore the impact of […]
To understand future habitat needs for chimpanzees, look to the past: New study examines where chimpanzees found refuge from climate instability during the past 120,000 years
A new study provides insight into where chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) avoided climate instability during glacial and interglacial periods in Africa over the past 120,000 years. Using bioclimatic variables and other data, the study identified previously unknown swaths of habitat, rich in figs and palms, where chimps rode out the changes seen since the Last Interglacial […]
