Dogs’ urine and faeces bring large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into suburban nature reserves, which could be harmful to plant biodiversity Life 7 February 2022 By Chen Ly A dog in a wildflower patch at St Abbs Head Nature Reserve, UKRebecca Cole / Alamy Stock Photo Taking your dog for a walk in a nature reserve could harm biodiversity because its faeces and urine bring in excess nitrogen and phosphorus to the ecosystem.

By Adam Vaughan Glacier in the Fitz Roy mountain range in Los Glaciares National Park, ArgentinaMaciej Bledowski / Alamy People living in the Andes in South America will reach “peak water” – defined as a declining availability of water – much sooner than expected because the glaciers they rely on have been found to be much thinner than thought. The area’s glaciers have 27 per cent less ice than than previously estimated, according to a new global assessment of the thickness of the world’s glaciers. The work found stark regional differences in terms of fresh water supplies. The study, which…

“One of the biggest risks these technologies pose is they make us more neurotic,” says Pamela Wisniewski, an associate professor at the University of Central Florida whose research focuses on the intersection of human-computer interaction, social computing, and privacy. “If all we’re getting is metadata that someone isn’t where we expect them to be, that can make us anxious.” It can even cause us to leap to erroneous conclusions that sabotage our daily activities.While these technologies are intended to mitigate risk, at their worst, tracking apps can trigger problematic false alarms when there’s a glitch. Take the time I saw…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Secrets of the Gold? In 1989 I was run over by a truck. I lost decades of memory. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a million dollars in gold bullion with it. (Which weighs about eighty pounds, and I’ve worn heavier armor.) But it gave me an understanding of living one’s life with no basis for knowing your own back story. I’ve had the cards and licenses to drive everything, so I started there. I don’t remember where I was going to go with Duff’s story, but we got to the…

While we sleep this spring, billions of birds will be flying through the night from their wintering grounds to their breeding territories. Bird migration is a mind-bendingly astonishing phenomenon: these tiny creatures fly thousands of kilometers with enough precision to return to the same nesting site year after year. They use three types of compass, guided by the stars, sun and, most mysteriously, Earth’s magnetic field. In this issue’s cover story, scientists Peter J. Hore and Henrik Mouritsen explain how some birds are able to “see” Earth’s magnetic field using quantum effects in exquisitely photosensitive molecules in their eyes. We…

The following post contains SPOILERS for the ending of Morbius.If you went to see Morbius because the trailers promised you that Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes was going to show up and have some kind of super-villain team-up with Jared Leto’s Morbius, we hope you at least stayed through the closing credits.

What does he want with Morbius? Why does he blame Spider-Man for what happened? Well ……

San Diego looked very different back in the Eocene epoch, from about 56 million to 34 million years ago. The area’s now arid climate was warmer and more humid, its lush subtropical forests teeming with primates and marsupials. Now a recently examined fossil adds another creature to the list: a new species of saber-toothed predator. The fossil—the lower jaw of a catlike mammal—was found in 1988 at a construction site in Oceanside, Calif. Researchers who newly studied it using modern techniques found that it belonged to a previously unknown machaeroidine, or member of the rare subfamily Machaeroidinae, a group including…
Imagine you are a young Bar-tailed Godwit, a large, leggy shorebird with a long, probing bill hatched on the tundra of Alaska. As the days become shorter and the icy winter looms, you feel the urge to embark on one of the most impressive migrations on Earth: a nonstop transequatorial flight lasting at least seven days and nights across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand 12,000 kilometers away. It’s do or die. Every year tens of thousands of Bar-tailed Godwits complete this journey successfully. Billions of other young birds, including warblers and flycatchers, terns and sandpipers, set out on similarly…

In Dhar-el-Jebel, a migrant detention center deep in Libya’s Nafusa Mountains, detainees sang and recorded a song on a smartphone. The year was 2019, and deaths—from poor conditions, a lack of food, and medical neglect—had become as frequent as one every fortnight. “We have made an engagement with death,” they sang. “So pray for us before the wedding comes.”The video topped 106,000 views on YouTube. Most of these hundreds of refugees and migrants, locked up indefinitely, had been caught on the Mediterranean Sea trying to reach Europe. They were part of the almost 90,000 refugees and migrants seized and forcibly returned…
