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.

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

hard on yourself. That's what manatees sound like when they're communicating in the warm,

shallow waters around Florida.

And researchers are starting to learn how to decode this crazy, high-pitched chatter.

We know that manatees produce vocalizations via the vocal folds in their throat,

similar to how humans and other mammals produce noise.

They use their voices for talking to each other,

and probably not for echo-locating like dolphins do.

And while previous research has documented the noises,

new work looked into connecting how manatee chatter in the wild

is related to behavior in different social settings.

Beth Brady, a marine mammologist at the

Moat Marine Laboratory in Aquarium in Florida, ran the new research. She says that manatees
