Qatar has unearthed 21-million-year-old fossils of small manatees Scientists have discovered 21-million-year-old tiny fossils of manatees dating back to the early Miocene during a recent breakthrough in Qatar. The researchers, working with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Qatar Museums, attributed the fossils to a previously unknown species of ancient manatee called Salwasiren…

The deadly undersea sea urchin outbreak could reshape marine ecosystems worldwide A surprising study has found that an unrecognized marine pandemic is causing mass mortality by critically endangering some sea urchin species and causing some populations to disappear altogether. Diadema africanum Hedgehogs on the Canary Islands archipelago have been almost completely killed by an unknown…

New research shows that humans rank close to meerkats in the monogamy rankings A new study published by the University of Cambridge published in Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Scienceshas put humans in a surprising position: they’re a bit like meerkats when it comes to mating. We’re closer to these social, close-knit mongooses than…

Extreme heat waves delay children’s early development: here’s how The researchers in a recent study have found a disturbing link between scorching heat waves and their harmful impact on child development. According to findings published in the Journal for child psychology and psychiatry, rising temperatures above 30°C are likely to hinder children’s learning and growth…

The UN warns of environmental damage of $5 billion per hour from food and fossil fuel production Unsustainable food and fossil fuel production is responsible for causing environmental costs of $5 billion per hour, as warned in the new UN report. According to the Global environmental prospects (GEO), developed by 200 researchers for the United…

New research suggests that modern humans may not be behind the extinction of the ‘hobbits’ in Indonesia According to a recent study by archaeologists, it has been discovered that the early humans who occupied the Indonesian island of Flores were wiped out by climate change. The research was published in the journal Communication Earth &…

Caribbean Climate Crisis: Hard Coral Decline Affects 48% Caribbean reefs have suffered a massive loss of hard coral cover since 1980, a new study suggests. According to the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network, climate crises such as destructive marine heat waves are responsible for the loss of nearly 48 percent of coral cover. These heat…
