A river in the Peruvian Amazon runs hot enough to reach 86°C with no volcano nearby, and researchers found that every 1°C increase along its banks was linked to an 11% drop in local tree diversity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although it can seem quite impossible to have extremely high temperatures without having volcanoes nearby, let me tell you the context deep in the Peruvian Amazon, where the Shanay-Timpishka average temperature is about 86°C (187°F). This is such a high temperature that it can kill small animals by causing severe burns in a matter of seconds. The average temperature still can still rise up to 98°C (208°F) as said before with not any single volcano nearby. This turns out to be more thana geologic
A thorny wild pear punctured a tractor tire, and the real surprise is how America’s once-favorite “sterile” street tree escaped (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The real surprise was how things did not go as expected. Bradford trees did not suddenly learn to pollinate alone and by themselves. So what happened was that the cities started to plant Callery pear extremely close to one another. Here is when the bees started doing their job. As scientists wanted to find fire blight resistance to improve the edible pears and to be used as rootstocks, in the 1900s Callery pear arrived from Asia in the early 1900s. Later in 1961, the USDA—the Department of Agric
NASA’s radar searched for Mars’ buried lake beneath the south pole, and the weak echo has made the water mystery harder to believe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For many years, one of the most fascinating mysteries of Mars was hidden beneath the ice of its south pole. In the year 2018, a radar of the European Space Agency found an unusual, bright reflection, located around 0.9 miles below the surface. This could mean that there was a lake of salty liquid water, approximately 12 miles wide. Now, a different radar has studied that area, but what it found is not so impressive. NASA’s SHARAD instrument only detected a low echo, so this made it less likely t
One of the world’s rarest primates survives among the limestone cliffs of northern Vietnam, where the remaining Delacour’s langurs are hanging on in fragmented habitat despite looking almost impossible to miss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Finding one of the most unusual primates in the world in the middle of the stone cliffs in Vietnam looks like a miracle, but Rob Small, a Fauna & Flora photographer, was able to immortalize the scene. The photograph taken at the Van Long Natural Reserve, shows an adult together with its baby while an adolescent moves through the limestone outcrops. Being able to see a baby is a sign that you can pretend to believe that the species is reproducing. Still, a single family picture is not enough to t
A 2,000-year-old gold ring found beside human remains in Thailand carries an inscription that may reveal an ancient trade route (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Disclaimer to the readers: this news is not related to J.R.R. Tolkien’s work. Archaeologists that were working in a western Thailand digsite uncovered a pair of golden rings that could date back to about 2,000 years! The rings were just beside human remains in what used to be an Iron Age burial ground. One of them is a simple plain ring, while the other bears an inscription of a Brahmi dialect that was used back in ancient India (now Bharat). The finding may point towards long-distance cultural
