An international group of researchers who have studied the morphology of the natural environment of the interglacial period between 132,000 and 110,000 years ago has proposed the possibility of bringing groups of elephants and rhinos, among other species, to the European continent so that they roam freely in the territory.
Does the change of season affect the plants and animals that live on the seabed? Do you notice if it is fall, winter, spring or summer? The presence of jellyfish is an indicator to take into account.
The Siberian tiger shares 95.6% of its genome with the domestic cat, from which it differed approximately 10.8 million years ago, according to a pioneering study on felines published in the journal Nature Communications.
Scientists from the Smithsonian (USA) have discovered a new species of mammal in America that they have named the olinguito (Bassaricyon neblina), and which by its appearance looks like "a cross between a domestic cat and a teddy bear", as described by the own researchers. It is the last scientifically documented member of the Procyonidae family, which also includes raccoons and coatis. Endowed with large eyes and reddish-brown fur, it is also the first carnivore discovered in the West in 35 years, endemic to Colombia and Ecuador.
It is a method designed to avoid accidental fishing of sharks. It is being tested by scientists at L'Oceanogràfic of the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, and it is based on the fact that the snouts of sharks are covered with Lorenzini blisters, sensory organs that allow the detection of magnetic fields in the water . When these fields are excessively high, instead of attracting them, they frighten them, so that, in theory, placing magnets on the fishermen's hooks at a certain power could prevent their unwanted capture.
According to the latest revision of the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), worrying declines are observed in conifers -the oldest and largest organisms in the world-, freshwater shrimp - 28% are threatened with extinction - cone snails and the finless porpoise of the Yangtze.
