Acoustic Environment May Shape Which Bird Songs Last
An FAU study suggests the environment may help determine which bird songs survive across generations. Songs that travel more clearly through habitats were more likely to be common within populations.
More Jobs, More Local Living: Study Redefines the 15-Minute City
By analyzing travel patterns, FAU researchers found that job density is the strongest driver of local travel in "15-minute city" neighborhoods, with more than 86% of internal trips made on foot.
Armed with AI, Study Identifies Prey from Predator Crunching Sounds
FAU researchers have developed an AI-powered acoustic system that detects shell-crushing feeding by eagle rays, enabling real-time monitoring of predator-prey interactions and coastal ecosystem health.
FAU Experts Available for Comment on 2026 Hurricane Season
FAU faculty are leading experts on a wide range of hurricane-related issues and are available to discuss topics such as forecasting, flooding, storm impacts, climate resilience and disaster recovery.
FAU Researcher Earns NSF CAREER Award for Air, Water Purification
An FAU engineering researcher has received an NSF CAREER award to study why amine-based sorbents degrade, aiming to design longer-lasting materials for capturing carbon dioxide, toxins and "forever chemicals."
FAU Study Reveals How Camels 'Beat the Heat' at the Cellular Level
FAU researchers have created a new approach to decode how cells adapt to heat, revealing gene interaction patterns under temperature stress using small datasets and a novel measure of gene change magnitude.
