Recent Biomass Study Highlights the Destructive Effect of Humans on Life

Although we dominate our planet, humans actually constitute only a small part of all the creatures on Earth. However, this didn’t stop us from having a highly damaging effect on the other species. A recent study has explored all the species that were brought to extinction as a result of human action and identified both […]

Researchers Attach Sensors to Elephant Seals to Study Glacier Melting in Western Antarctica

There are many factors that accelerate the melting of the Antarctic glaciers. One of the most difficult to control is sea temperatures that are constantly on the rise and produce the thawing of these glaciers. However, the process is complex and relatively hard to observe. This is why researchers decided to use the help of […]

Link Found Between the Cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Anti-Mullerian Hormone

Many women, most likely including some of your family and friends, suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It can cause threats to human health and life, not to mention sadness and frustration. Scientists have just recently linked the cause of this syndrome to the anti-Mullerian hormone and are striving to find a cure. What Is […]

Strange Fossilized Tail Reveals More on the Missing Link of the Evolution of Crocodiles

A team of researchers from the School of Geosciences at the University of Edinburgh might have discovered the specimen missing from the family tree of crocodiles. More than 20 years ago, they found a fossilized tail that looked different than what they have seen before. After many years of researchers, they discovered how important the […]

Oil-Eating Bacteria May One Day Clean up Oil Spills

People use oil all over the world, which contributes to the greenhouse gases emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere. Oil spills are also extremely harmful. Oil is thicker and less dense than water, which means it sits on top of the water when spilled. This can prevent sunlight from reaching the marine life below, not to […]

40 Percent of Bird Populations Are Declining

BirdLife International published a report entitled “State of the World’s Birds.” Their study has found that 40 percent of bird populations are declining, and it is virtually entirely our doing. They have pinned down the main reasons for this decrease in biodiversity to five. Their report is available online for all to read and learn […]

Researchers Identify Over 100 New Species in a Deep-Sea Zone near Bermuda

We might have some great news for biodiversity. While studying the Atlantic Ocean, a team of researchers has discovered a completely new spot close to the Bermuda coast. Since this area has been unknown until now, researchers have discovered a series of surprises related to it. It turns out it is actually hosting over 100 […]

Large Predators Are Taking over Unlikely Habitats, Raising Hopes for Their Future Populations

The populations of large predators are now the subject of a strange phenomenon. Researchers have started spotting them in unusual locations where they shouldn’t be living, and their numbers are getting higher every day. This is a direct effect of intense hunting and other activities that prevent them from living in their natural habitat. However, […]

Reconstruction of the Ichthyornis bird, ichthyornis

A 3D Scan of the Ancient Creature Ichthyornis Reveals How Birds Evolved Beaks

It’s no mystery that birds are related to dinosaurs. They shared the body shape and feathers, but it’s quite a big difference between the dinosaur snout and the bird beak. For quite a long time, researchers have wondered how birds came to adapt and evolve beaks, but they might have figured it out. This happened […]

Dinosaur Teeth Analysis Sheds Light on the Creatures’ Complex Eating Habits

Dinosaurs have always been an unending source of fascination especially because many things about them are unknown to us. We know they had different eating habits, as some of them were herbivorous while others were ferocious predators. When it comes to carnivorous dinosaurs, researchers have been wondering if those sharing habitats were in some sort […]
