Where are the most likely places for an invasive species to thrive? It turns out: islands and coastal regions. Researchers out of Durham University in the United Kingdom, as well as multiple other universities, recently published a paper detailing the global hot spots for invasive species. The most inundated: the Hawaiian Islands, New Zealand's North Island, and the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. These data help to inform mitigation strategies preventing further spread of invasive species that

An international collaboration of scientists have deployed a network of sensors in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. What do the sensors measure? Sound! Ultrasonic bat calls to be specific. When the sensors hear a bat call, which is beyond the hearing of a human, they automatically attempt to determine the species. The data is uploaded to the cloud, and researchers are then able to keep track of the variety of bat species in the park. This experiment is in its early stages, but ultimately

A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has concluded that a mass extinction event allowed for the rise of the dinosaurs. At the end of the Triassic period, approximately 200 million years ago, a period of 'pulsed volcanism' radically changed the climate of Earth, leading to the eradication of many species. The vacant ecological niches led to the rise of the dinosaurs. The study relied on measuring the concentration of mercury levels in rocks from

Scientists have re-examined Mastadon bones found in the San Diego area in 1992. They find the bones to be over 100,000 years old. Moreover, the bones appear to have been broken by humans. This means that modern humans may have travelled to North America fare earlier than is commonly accepted, which is about 15,000 years ago.
