Excerpt:

Humans carry around tons of living bacteria that are vital for excellent health, and with breastfeeding, infants make some of their first contact with helpful microorganisms that will colonize their body. Experts have actually found that breast milk contains more species of bacteria than initially expected -- even more than 700 selections. The bacteria's precise role is still confusing, however this microbial range might help the child to digest the milk or to provide the baby 's immune system a boost, researchers state. And further examinations might result in nourishment approaches for babies who can not be nursed. The microbiome of breast milk was drawn up utilizing a DNA sequencing technique referred to as pyrosequencing, which produces extremely large numbers of small DNA "tags" copied from the genes of microorganisms being examined.

Female lemurs can detect dad's cries | Essentials

Female lemurs can detect dad's cries

Excerpt:

Tiny nocturnal lemurs recognize their dad's cries amid the other sounds of the nighttime Madagascar forests, a new study finds. The research is the first to show that solitary animals may avoid inbreeding by keeping an ear out for familiar voices. Previous studies have found that animals living in complex social groups have no trouble recognizing their own kin's calls, particularly the sounds of maternal relatives. Even goat mamas keep a long-term memory for their baby's calls, according to a study published earlier this year. But less is known about how animals recognize their father's calls, and the cries of the relatives on dad's side of the family. Likewise, researchers know very little about how solitary-living animals avoid inbreeding with dad's side of the family. That's where the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) comes in. These cartoonishly cute lemurs are raised by their mothers without help from dad.
