Study: Albatrosses can dive up to 62 feet underwater to hunt prey, more than twice as deep as previously thought
A study has revealed that black-browed albatrosses can dive up to an impressive 62 feet (19 meters) into the sea to hunt prey, which is more than twice the depth previously thought. The study, which was published in the journal Current Biology, was led by zoologist Oliver Padget of the University of Oxford and his fellow […]

Proposed solar-powered “lunar ark” to hold frozen samples of 6.7 million plants and animals
Researchers have looked to the biblical story of Noah and his ark to safeguard the Earth’s flora and fauna. But instead of gathering two of every animal, a new solar-powered ark will store frozen seed, spore, sperm and egg samples obtained from 6.7 million Earth species. This ark will not be resting on Mount Ararat, […]

Vesuvius eruption wiped out people of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes, study finds
A new study suggests that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius two millennia ago may have killed the inhabitants of the ancient city of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes. The majority of the victims died of asphyxiation, or suffocation, caused by a giant cloud of ash and toxic gases. In a study published in the […]

Noah’s ark in space: Researchers propose building a “gene bank” on the MOON in case life on Earth goes extinct
Researchers propose building a gene bank on the moon that would house the seeds of 6.7 million species on Earth. Similar to Noah’s Ark, the gene bank would serve as a “modern insurance policy” that would ensure the survival of terrestrial life should an extinction-level event happen. “Earth is naturally a volatile environment,” said Jekan Thanga, a professor of aerospace and mechanical […]

Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests
A new study suggests that the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs likely gave rise to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Published April 1 in the journal Science, the study also posits that the same asteroid created all of the Americas’ tropical rainforests. Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named the Chicxulub […]

Mineral samples reveal a previously unknown loss of life GREATER than the mass extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago
Despite being constantly portrayed as such in popular media, not all extinction events involve the apocalyptic and instantaneous dying off of complex creatures such as the dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts – some of them are more gradual and happen over longer periods of time and deal with creatures that are on the microscopic scale. […]

Major extinction looms due to weaker North American land biomes, suggests study
A lower landscape resilience forebodes a major extinction event across North American land biomes, found a study published in the journal Global Change Biology. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology looked at 12 major plant biomes in North America to measure their landscape resilience – the ability of a certain habitat to persist and recover from environmental disturbances. They found that only 64 percent of […]

North American bird populations pivotal to pest control and seed dispersion have decreased by 29% in the last 49 years
Fewer birds are crooning North America today. A recent study published in the journal Science found that the region’s bird populations declined in the last 49 years. Researchers from the United States and Canada joined forces to understand how bird populations changed across North America. They looked at existing data chronicling birdlife and found that common bird species decreased […]

Extraterrestrial impact may have caused abrupt climate change 12,800 years ago, research suggests
Sediment cores taken from White Pond in South Carolina show that an extraterrestrial collision may have triggered an abrupt change in the Earth’s climate 12,800 years ago, said archaeologist Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina. About 14,500 years ago, Earth’s climate began to shift from glacial to interglacial, characterized by warmer temperatures. However, partway through this […]

While everybody panics about coronavirus, insects are heading for extinction in both the U.S. and Europe … No insects means no food
Nothing epitomizes a warm, sunny day like the sound of bees buzzing peacefully from plant to plant in the garden. These little creatures do far more than provide us with delicious honey, however. Without bees and other pollinators, humans and other animals would cease to exist on our planet. The renowned poet Maurice Maeterlinck warned […]
