Assessment, testing, and clean-up are well underway in the Stewart Biology Building, following the flooding on Sunday caused by burst pipes. As many of you are aware, the building contains asbestos, as do many buildings of its era. Out of an abundance of caution, testing protocols and follow-up cleaning procedures (where indicated by test results) have therefore been undertaken in the affected areas. As some public access areas have also been affected, the entire building complex has been shut until testing and clean-up have been completed.

Extreme temperatures over the weekend have caused pipes to burst in the Stewart Biology Building.
It will take at least two more days to complete the clean-up and thoroughly assess the extent of the damage. Therefore, the building (North and South blocks) will remain closed until at least Thursday morning.

Snakes and mice don鈥檛 look alike. But much of what we know about skin colouration and patterning in vertebrates generally, including in snakes, is based on lab mice. However, there are limits to what mice can tell us about other vertebrates because they don鈥檛 share all of the same types of colour-producing cells, known as chromatophores. For example, snakes have a type of chromatophore called iridophores that can generate iridescent colours by reflecting light.

Each year, around 1,000 new students begin an undergraduate science degree at 成人VR视频. For many of them, their first year at university represents a dramatic change from the world of high school or CEGEP.
鈥淭he workload, the amount of new content you get, and a different style of testing鈥� are three of the challenges Marie Walker recalls from her first semester as a science undergrad.

To better understand the evolution of flowers, a research team in biology from Universit茅 de Montr茅al , the Montr茅al Botanical Garden, and 成人VR视频 (Daniel Schoen, Biology) have succeeded in using photogrammetry to quickly and precisely build, in three dimensions, a model of a flower from two-dimensional images.
Photogrammetry is commonly used by geographers to reconstruct the topography of a landscape. However, this is the first time that scientists have used the technique to design 3D models of flowers in order to better study them.

As Montreal prepares to host UN Biodiversity Conference, 成人VR视频 professor Andrew Gonzalez discusses how cities can help protect nature and human health.
Global urban populations are projected to increase to nearly five billion by 2030. This ever-expanding urbanization threatens our world鈥檚 plant and animal biodiversity and degrades ecosystems through the loss of habitat, biomass and carbon storage. As noted during the recent COP27 climate conference, biodiversity loss is as critical to our planet鈥檚 health as the climate crisis.

A silent mass extinction is occurring in lakes, rivers and wetlands. Freshwater species are rapidly disappearing in North America and throughout the world. Conservation-minded people might be unaware of this, because of the media鈥檚 longstanding focus on land-based ecosystems and charismatic animals.
