Warming Arctic leaves ringed seals vulnerable to toxic buildup
A single unusually warm year can significantly affect the health of Arctic animals. A new study shows that Arctic ringed seals are facing a double threat: climate-driven nutritional stress and a buildup of harmful contaminants in their bodies….

Turtle brains reveal ancient visual processing
For decades, scientists assumed that sophisticated visual abilities were largely unique to mammals. They believed that only large, folded cerebral cortices could reliably detect and interpret important changes in the environment.
However, new…

The investigation could solve the mystery of how supermassive black holes grew so large in the early universe.
Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have hunted for “wandering” black holes drifting through dwarf galaxies. The discovery of these rogue black holes in such small galaxies could provide a “fossil…
