Supernovas May Have Caused Two of Earth's Mass Extinctions
New research hypothesizes that nearby supernovas, occurring approximately every 500 million years based on calculations from the Gaia space telescope, may have caused the Late Ordovician and Late Devonian mass extinctions by damaging Earth's ozone layer, though direct evidence is lacking.

Hope for Endangered Freshwater Fish: A Global Collaboration
In response to dwindling freshwater fish populations due to pollution, climate change, and overfishing, a global community of fish hobbyists maintains "insurance populations" of endangered species in their tanks, with varying degrees of success in reintroduction efforts.

Seals' Super Sense: Cognitive Oxygen Perception Enables Extended Dives
Dr. Chris McKnight from Northern Ireland discovered that seals possess a unique cognitive ability to perceive blood oxygen levels, enabling them to precisely control their dives and avoid drowning, a key adaptation in their evolution as marine mammals.

Supernovas May Have Triggered Two Mass Extinctions on Earth
A new study suggests that two of Earth's biggest mass extinction events might have been caused by nearby supernovas, based on calculations of supernova rates from the past billion years and their potential impact on Earth's ozone layer.

Longevity Paradox: Bigmouth Buffalo Fish Face Extinction Despite Exceptional Lifespan
A recent study reveals that bigmouth buffalo fish, found in Lake Rice, Minnesota, live exceptionally long lives, some over 100 years, and paradoxically, show better health with age; however, the absence of younger fish for over 60 years raises concerns about the species' survival.
