TAU researchers have discovered a new insect species from the age of the dinosaurs, revealing an unusual feeding mechanism that has disappeared from the insect world today.

Some 99 million years ago, during the age of the dinosaurs, a tiny insect belonging to a species previously unknown to science became trapped in tree resin. The resin hardened and turned into amber, and the fossil preserved within it has now enabled a team of researchers from the School of Zoology and The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History to identify and describe a new species: Cretodorus noonoo, or “Noo-Noo.”

Alongside the description of the new species, the study reveals an extraordinary biological adaptation that characterized Noo-Noo and its close relatives: exceptionally long and flexible mouthparts, which in Noo-Noo reached nearly twice the length of its body. The researchers believe that this unusual structure enabled the insects to reach food sources that were inaccessible to insects with more rigid mouthparts, deep inside cracks and crevices in tree bark.

The study, published in the journal Insects, was conducted by Dolev Fabrikant and Dr. Leonidas-Romanos Davranoglou of the School of Zoology, Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History and New Environmental School at Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with Dr. Yanzhe Fu of the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

On World Habitat Day, we proudly highlight The Weisfeld Family Charitable Foundation Animal Habitat Initiative, part of TAU’s Zoological Research Garden.

Upgrading the Zoological Research Garden into the more comprehensive Zoological Discovery Centre will have critical importance for supporting the needs of modern science, for meeting modern global standards for animal welfare, and for accommodating the needs of diverse public outreach and educational activities.

This transformational donation was presented by the Foundation’s Gilad and Stephanie Abrahami.

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month begins, we are proud to highlight a large-scale international study, led by researchers at Tel Aviv University, which has uncovered a mechanism that allows breast cancer to send metastases to the brain.

The study combined two distinct approaches to cancer research: Prof. Satchi-Fainaro’s lab, which studies the interactions between cancer cells and their surrounding environment (the tumour microenvironment), and Prof. Ben-David’s lab, which investigates chromosomal changes that characterize cancer cells. The complex study involved numerous scientific methods and technologies, including clinical and genomic data analysis of tumors from breast cancer patients, genetic, biochemical, metabolic, and pharmacological experiments in cultured cancer cells, and functional experiments in mice.

September 30th marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day – Every Child Matters 🧡

Orange Shirt Day – Every Child Matters honours Residential School Survivors, their families, and those who never returned home. The orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture, freedom, and self-esteem that many Indigenous children experienced, and serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impacts of the Residential School system.
