Antarctic Sediment Cores Reveal Century-Long Impact of Whaling on Climate
An international team of researchers collected over 40 sediment cores from the Antarctic seabed in early 2025 to study the impact of a century of industrial whaling on the Antarctic ecosystem and global climate. The analysis of these samples will provide insights into past environmental conditions, ...

Germany Debates Using DNA to Determine Suspect's Geographic Origin
Germany is debating using DNA to determine the biogeographic origin of crime suspects, adding to existing analysis of eye, skin, and hair color; this is technically feasible, using even small DNA samples, to narrow down suspect pools by identifying continental regions of origin (e.g., Europe, Asia, ...
