Denmark's Faroe Islands recently held their annual dolphin slaughter tradition, but it exceeded the usual kill count and could trigger the debate on the 4-century-old Grindadráp.
Scientists investigate the mechanism on how some invasive species, such as the green crab, had shown extensive dispersal in the last decade as they adapt across environmental gradients despite lacking genetic diversity.
Archaeologists have been in constant debate about what is the oldest known archaeological site. But experts and scholars recently identified three candidates that make Giza pyramids and Stonehenge seem young.
Marine researchers developed a protection for the Great Barrier Reef from extreme heat brought by climate change through artificial cloud manipulation.
By training cows to use the MooLoo, the team said it will be possible to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop more open and animal-friendly farms.
Resurrecting a woolly mammoth has long been in the crosshairs of geneticist George Church. Specifically, in 2017, his Harvard University laboratory was able to add 45 genes to the Asian elephant’s genome in an attempt to recreate the said species.
Researchers in Japan developed a genetic resource from kuruma shrimp genome that will protect them from diseases, help in fisheries management and establish a breeding program.
Scientists recently learned that sunlight can also chemically transform plastics into a soup of new chemicals that no longer resemble the original product, which could be more sinister than microplastics that persist forever in the environment.
The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observation scientists performed a detailed gas survey of the Kīlauea caldera floor and rim for better insight into the present gas emissions.
