Insects make up to , and most of them can be found in the tropics, the regions around the equator. Yet we still know surprisingly little about how these species will cope with driven by climate change. I am an animal ecologist, studying how organisms respond to climate change. My research aims to provide a…

After years of extensive biological research, scientists identified at least 11 species new to science occupying the ruggedly divided limestone formations of the Battambang and Stung Treng regions in Cambodia. The researchers describe these remote, isolated outcroppings of limestone as ‘evolutionary laboratories,’ where organisms have evolved for millions of years independently of each other. Among…
At one point on Saturday, the toilet was unable to dump its waste overboard, possibly due to a frozen vent line, Nasa said. The astronauts have instead used an alternative system which involves collapsible plastic containers that collect their urine. Source link

The European Union (EU) Parliament on March 26, 2026, approved updated EU water pollution standards. This would help in tackling harmful substances in Europe’s rivers, lakes and groundwater. The legislation updates the lists of pollutants that need to be monitored and controlled, by adding Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) also known as “forever chemicals, pharmaceuticals…
The Artemis II mission is now in one of the most highly anticipated stages, where the crew is traveling more than half the way towards the Moon. According to media reports, the team onboard the Orion spacecraft has already reached the stage of deep space, which exceeds any similar experience gained in recent times by…
Nasa’s Artemis II astronauts, on a historic journey to the Moon, will study its surface with what lead scientist Kelsey Young calls “the best camera that could ever or will ever exist”—their own eyes. As of early Sunday, the four-member crew, comprising three Americans, commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch—and Canadian…
