Study Finds Grey Seals Can Track Blood Oxygen to Prevent Drowning
A study has revealed that grey seals can monitor their blood oxygen levels to determine when they need to surface for air. Researchers tested seals in controlled environments, exposing them to different oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The findings confirmed that higher oxygen led to longer dives, while reduced oxygen shortened them. Surprisingly,...

Alien Life May Survive on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs, Study Finds
New research explores the possibility of alien life on planets orbiting white dwarfs. While these stellar remnants cool over time, their shrinking habitable zones may still allow biological processes like photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis to occur. A model assessing a planet's energy reception over seven billion years indicates that life-sus...

People in Modern Societies Sleep More but Have Irregular Sleep Cycles
A study analyzing 54 global sleep studies has found that people in industrialised societies sleep longer than those in hunter-gatherer communities. While sleep efficiency is also higher in modern settings, circadian rhythms are less regular. Researchers suggest reduced exposure to natural light may be a key factor in these disruptions. The study ch...

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....
