    Three saltwater crocodiles that had spent years in captivity in Bangladesh, one of them held for about 22 years, showed no sign of heading back toward the facilities that had kept them over as many as 127 days of satellite tracking in the Sundarbans, while a wild-caught male released what the paper (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    A satellite-tracking study of five saltwater crocodiles in Bangladesh’s Sundarbans, published in Wildlife Research with Ruchira Somaweera as first author, found that the three animals that had been kept in captivity, including a female held for roughly 22 years, showed no indication of homing (navigating back to a familiar place) toward the facilities that had held them. They kept to modest stretches of mangrove channel, moving and ranging on a scale the authors call broadly similar to that of a

    Ancient DNA decays roughly four times faster in the Caribbean than in temperate North America and about 14 times faster than in subpolar Greenland and Alaska, and modelling the slowest-decaying of the 75 dated samples that still held enough DNA puts the practical limit on recoverable DNA there at ro (opens the original)

    Canímar Abajo, a limestone rock shelter in Cuba, produced some of the best-preserved samples in a new survey of ancient DNA from across the Caribbean. Getting usable DNA out of one of them still meant grinding a piece of it away. Every ancient DNA result begins with a decision to destroy something, and in this region that decision has been unusually hard to make well, because the heat and humidity mean only a minority of samples hold enough human DNA for straightforward sequencing. A survey publ

    Bionic Reading bolds the first half of each word on the promise of more efficient reading, and a registered eye-tracking study of 90 skilled adult readers found the bolding moved their first fixation closer to the start of long words — with no measurable gain in reading speed, word skipping or compr (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bionic Reading is a typographic technique that sets the opening letters of every word in bold and leaves the remainder in normal weight. Under the method’s default rule, a word with an even number of characters has its first half bolded, and a word with an odd number has the first half plus one additional character bolded. The rationale attached to it is that the darker openings tell the eye where to land, so a reader can take in the salient first letters and let the rest of each word resolve wi

    A DNA clock trained on fifteen captive crown-of-thorns seastars of five known ages missed their true age by 0.31 years on average (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Crown-of-thorns seastars eat coral. On the Great Barrier Reef they are culled by the tens of thousands each year. Managers still cannot age a wild animal with any validated method, which is one reason the recruitment timing behind an outbreak is hard to reconstruct. Sarah L. T. Kwong and colleagues at the Australian Institute of Marine Science and James Cook University built a DNA-methylation clock for Acanthaster cf. solaris and report it in Biology Letters on 9 September 2026. Trained on fifte

    Strips of adhesive tape pressed against Britain's tallest stone row yielded 236 dated zircon grains, and their ages match a gritstone tor 18 kilometres west rather than the closer outcrop that the monument's official heritage listing still names as its source (opens the original)

    The antiquary John Leland counted four great stones standing in a row on the western edge of Boroughbridge in the middle of the sixteenth century. By the time William Camden reached the same field at the end of it, one of them was lying flat. John Aubrey, visiting in 1687, recorded that local people had broken a stone up and apparently worked part of it into Peg Bridge over the River Tutt. Three stones are still upright, and they are the tallest surviving standing stone row in Britain. Only the
