Public research university in Athens, Georgia, with colleges including Terry College of Business and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
University of Georgia researchers found bobwhite roosting in woody cover about twice as likely to survive. They tracked birds in southern Indiana. The almost 90% decline since the 1960s is a Georgia Department of Natural Resources figure.

University of Georgia researchers found diseased Florida Keys corals were nearly four times as likely as healthy ones to die in the 2023 heat wave. The authors argue cleaner local water would therefore save coral, a step the reported data support only indirectly, through disease.
Reality
University of Georgia surveys of 2,500-plus US investors find those who lean on social media feel sure of their knowledge but do worse on basic questions. Because the evidence comes from surveys, it can place the overconfidence among social media users but cannot establish that the platforms produced it.
Reality
University of Georgia researchers report the ten genes in Nature Communications and characterized six of them in detail. Knocking some of them out left planarians unable to make new dopamine neurons and slow to move.

Detection dogs found weasels on ground where hundreds of randomly placed cameras had recorded almost nothing. The habitat rules that came out of that then put cameras in the right places elsewhere in Georgia.
Reality
A University of Georgia microscope imaged zebrafish brains four volumes a second and saw seizures begin at the back and travel to the front, agreeing with one earlier 3D study and disagreeing with two 2D ones. Peter Kner says the field needs more imaging.
Reality
Applicants who believed software would score their one-way videos stretched the truth more often, the rating agent scored them no lower for it, and telling them what it measured brought the exaggeration back down.
Reality
Researchers in Hong Kong and Georgia paired blood measurements with a Mendelian randomization arm. The male estimate survived where the female one stayed null. Neither arm looked at anyone taking the supplement.
Reality
A University of Georgia study across 33 sites found 26 prey species unique to the invader and no change in native diets where the two overlap. That weakens the food-competition worry without settling the impact question.
Reality
University of Georgia researchers report the first epigenetic age clock validated in a shark, built from 10 DNA methylation markers in blood. The alternative is killing the animal.
Reality
A Science paper says grasses gained a second starch route and inherited a second lignin route, and that two mutations suffice to build the lignin bypass. The genes are not named in the public account.

Two University of Kansas surveys move a Western research staple to India. Media literacy was the strongest predictor of institutional trust, and it did not predict civic engagement at all.
