Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Many plants and animals use temperature and other environmental cues like a calendar,

letting them know when it's time to bloom or find a mate.

But climate change is disrupting these natural rhythms worldwide, from songbird

migration across North America to plankton growth cycles in Norway to a hillside of wildflowers

in Missouri. So if we head on out, you can notice there are a number of different species

that have popped up. Dwarf-crested iris, blue flocks, Canadian

woodbedony. Matthew Austin is a postdoctoral researcher with a Living Earth Collaborative

at Washington University. This patch of forest, about 40 miles west of St. Louis, is covered

with native wildflowers throughout the spring and summer. But the timing of when

they bloom has changed in recent decades, Austin says. We see that a warming climate is not only

causing flowers to bloom earlier. In many species, it's also causing them to end flowering later.

Missouri wildflowers are blooming up to a week longer than they used to,

compared to data collected in the 1930s and 40s. And that's created a late summer pile-up of species

flowering all at once. Meanwhile, bumblebees and other pollinators are flitting from species to species,

says Nicole Miller-Strethman, a biologist at Webster University.
