Solar-powered backpacks are helping Vermont scientists track monarch butterflies in real time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Desirée Narango’s White River Junction lab is filled with mesh butterfly cages, where monarch butterflies are perpetually emerging. A dozen or so bright green chrysalises hang from a sandwich board, each bundle the size of a thumbnail and bedazzled with a tiny strip of gold. In one, you could see the curled shape of a butterfly, its dark spotted wings just visible through the goo. Narango carefully moved this one to its own cage. “We want to make sure that they’re in the absolute perfect conditi
To help loggers find a market for low-grade wood, Vermont lifts some environmental rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Vermont utility regulators are temporarily softening environmental rules at Vermont’s two wood-burning power plants to help stabilize the logging industry. State officials say the $2.3 billion wood products industry is in a perilous situation after one of the region’s largest paper mills announced in July it will no longer purchase local wood scraps to make its paper. The rule change, announced earlier this month, will allow McNeil Generating Station in Burlington and Ryegate Power Station in th
Bats don’t get cancer like humans do. Vermont scientists helped uncover one possible explanation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bats live remarkably long, healthy lives for being such small creatures, and researchers at the University of Vermont are part of an international team that says they’ve discovered a key reason why. They say their findings could someday help humans live longer, healthier lives too. “Because bats are exceptional in these ways, it tells us something about how extreme longevity can evolve,” said Vermont researcher Elise Lauterbur, a co-author on the new study, published in the science journal Natur
This winter, New England scientists will track snowpack like never before (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Winters in New England are warming faster than any other time of year, and that’s creating new challenges for the region like droughts, flash flooding and lost revenue from poor ski seasons. Now, a team of researchers at universities in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine are teaming up to look at how snowpack here is faring in real time. The collaborative has secured a $5.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop the first-ever comprehensive snowpack monitoring system for the
Vermont’s bear population is booming. So is conflict with humans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This summer, a black bear broke into a home in the town of Jamaica while the residents were away. They came home to a kitchen that had been ransacked. The fridge was open and empty, and food was strewn all over the house. Most alarmingly of all, the electric stove was on. “The bear was no longer in the house when they got there, but it was very clear what had happened, and that could have been a tragedy,” said Warden Kyle Isherwood. “Like, a house fire could easily have started from that.” This
