Extinction

The Chester Zoo in Englandd's Cheshire has revealed that more than 10,000 breeding females of the spider species had spread across the country.

A recent report has revealed that more than 38% of tree species globally are at risk of extinction, with human activities like deforestation and disease contributing significantly to their decline. The findings were presented at the UN COP16 biodiversity summit in Colombia, where world leaders are discussing strategies to protect natural ecosystems...

Over a quarter of plants and animals assessed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of threatened species risk extinction.

Researchers hope these robotic recreations will enhance our understanding of the natural world and evolutionary history.

This immense rock slammed into Earth, boiling the oceans and unleashing a record-breaking tsunami.

In the Kashmir Valley, rare fossils from extinct elephants reveal the earliest evidence of human butchery in India, dating back 300,000 to 400,000 years. The discovery includes stone tools used to extract bone marrow, offering insight into early human behaviour in the region. These fossils, from the extinct elephant species Palaeoloxodon turkmenicu...

The COP16 summit in Colombia brings global leaders together to address the alarming loss of biodiversity, with over one million species at risk of extinction. Countries will assess their progress on reversing species extinction and take steps towards a target of protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030. The meeting also focuses on financing biodivers...

There are 113 species of peacock. Of these, each has distinctive colouring and dances (males have the colour and the moves).

A recent study reveals that ant agriculture originated 66 million years ago, following the asteroid impact that led to the dinosaurs' extinction. This event allowed fungi to flourish in the aftermath, as they thrived on decaying plant matter. It was found that while the initial partnership formed post-impact, ants did not develop advanced farming t...

The massive asteroid that ended the dinosaurs 66 million years ago was not an isolated event, new research has revealed.

A recent study by astrophysicists suggests that technologically advanced alien civilizations could self-destruct through climate change within just 1,000 years. The researchers, inspired by human energy use patterns, found that even renewable energy sources contribute to planetary overheating due to inevitable heat loss. The second law of thermodyn...

After centuries of decline, concerted conservation efforts have led to a remarkable resurgence of the Northern Bald Ibis in Europe.

A new study proposes a surprising theory that pollen allergies may have contributed to the extinction of woolly mammoths. The researchers argue that an increase in pollen during the post-Ice Age period could have affected the animals' ability to communicate and reproduce. This inability to breed, combined with environmental changes and human activi...

In New Mexico, scientists are exploring a futuristic solution to defend Earth against asteroid threats: harnessing X-ray blasts from nuclear explosions.

Cyprus wasnt the only Mediterranean island with dwarf wildlife. In fact, Crete, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia and many other islands had their own dwarf elephants and hippos.
