Insects Listen When Plants Talk, Finds Israeli Study
There is evidence that plants and insects interact through sound, researchers at Tel Aviv University said on Tuesday, opening a new frontier in the study of acoustic communication in nature

Extreme Heat Could Raise Death Risk For Pet Dogs By 10%, Warns Study
A new study led by UNSW Sydney warns that extreme heat significantly increases the risk of death in pet dogs, raising fresh concerns about the impact of climate change on animals.

Fish Endure Intense Pain Up To 20 Minutes When Killed, New Study Finds
The findings also showed that stuffing fish in ice slurry after catching them could cause even greater pain.

Cuttlefish May Communicate Using Tentacle Waves, Study Finds
Cuttlefish are known to use more than color-changing and posture to communicate — new research suggests they wave their tentacles to send signals. Scientists at École Normale Supérieure observed four distinct wave patterns and found cuttlefish respond both visually and through water vibrations. With plans to use AI and robotics to decode these ...

Scientists Reportedly Discover New Species of Marine Life on the Antarctic Ocean Floor
Strange underwater life ranging from hand-sized sea spiders to jelly-like sea pigs to a breeding sea butterfly has been found by Australian scientists investigating the Antarctic ocean floor. Taken aboard the RSV Nuyina icebreaker, these unusual species found at enormous depths provide understanding of life in one of the toughest places on Earth. S...

1 Trillion Species, 3 Billion Years: AI Helped Trace Bacteria Evolution On Earth
Bacteria consist of a single cell. They do not have bones and are not like big animals that leave clear signs in the geological record, which thankful palaeontologists can study many millions of years later.

Bats Avoid Mid-Air Crashes by Adjusting Their Echolocation During Flight
A recent study conducted in Israel’s Hula Valley reveals how bats manage to avoid collisions while exiting caves in large groups. Despite the expected interference from their echolocation calls, which could lead to crashes, bats have adapted by making behavioural changes. They fan out in flight, switching to higher-frequency calls that are shorte...

Humans May Not Be Good At Understanding Dog's Emotions: Study
Humans may not have a good understanding of dogs' emotions, and it could be because they are projecting their emotions onto the animals, according to a new research.

New Research Shows Bigger Animals More Likely To Get Cancer, Defying Decades-Old Belief
A longstanding scientific belief about a link between cancer prevalence and animal body size has tested for the first time in our new study ranging across hundreds of animal species.

New Study Suggests Dogs May Have Domesticated Themselves for Food
A recent study explores the possibility that early wolves self-domesticated by staying near human settlements for food. Over thousands of years, wolves with more tolerant temperaments may have had better access to resources and selectively bred with similar mates. This natural selection process might have led to the domesticated dogs we know today....

New Fossils Suggest Land Life Bounced Back Faster Than Expected After End-Permian Mass Extinction
Fossil findings from the Heshanggou Formation in North China indicate that land ecosystems recovered faster than expected following the end-Permian extinction. While previous estimates suggested a prolonged uninhabitable phase, new research shows riparian zones may have stabilised within a shorter timeframe. Burrowing activity and plant regrowth su...

Study Uncovers Evidence of Cannibalism in Ancient Europe 18,000 Years Ago
A study on 18,000-year-old human remains found in Maszycka Cave, Poland, has revealed strong evidence of cannibalism. Researchers discovered cut marks and skull fractures that indicate scalping, defleshing, and brain extraction. The findings suggest the practice was tied to warfare rather than survival, with human remains found alongside butchered ...

Polar Bear Fur's Natural Oil Prevents Ice Build-Up, Study Finds
Scientists have uncovered a surprising feature of polar bear fur: a natural oil that prevents ice accumulation. Unlike penguins, which rely on feather structure, polar bears benefit from a chemical composition that keeps their fur ice-free. A study published in Science Advances found that unwashed polar bear fur performed as well as high-performanc...

Wild Baboons Fail Mirror Test, Raising Questions on Animal Self-Awareness
A study found that wild baboons fail to recognise themselves in mirrors. Researchers placed mirrors near water sources in Namibia’s Tsaobis Nature Park and projected laser dots onto the baboons’ faces and bodies. While 64 percent responded to marks on visible limbs, only one out of 51 reacted to facial markings in the mirror. The findings sugge...

Three In Every Four Animal Bites In India Are Due To Dogs: Lancet Study
