For the proof-of-concept study, published in the journal Earth: Environmental Sustainability, UC Davis scientists outfitted 54 Magellanic penguins with silicone passive samplers placed gently around their legs for a few days during the 2022–24 breeding seasons. The sensors safely absorbed chemicals from the water, air, and surfaces the penguins encountered while the unwitting “toxicologists” foraged to…

Scientists have classed emperor penguins as at risk of extinction for the first time ever after Antarctica’s melting ice crashed its populations. A rapid decline in the global population of the species has caused the birds to jump two stages from “near threatened” to “endangered” on the official Red List of Threatened Species. They are…

The mass drowning of emperor penguin chicks as sea ice is melted by the climate crisis has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to declare the species officially in danger of extinction. Emperor penguins rely on “fast” ice – sea ice that is firmly attached to the coast – for nine months…
Many of the sustainable solutions needed to deliver a net zero, nature-positive and climate-resilient built environment already exist, but systemic barriers are preventing them from scaling, warns a new report from the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC). Without faster action, the UKGBC says the industry risks higher long-term costs, missed opportunities, and slower progress towards…
he emperor penguin has been declared an endangered species as climate change pushes the icon of Antarctica a step closer to extinction, the global authority on threatened wildlife announced Thursday. Its change of status from “near threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) underscores the existential threat for ice-dependent species as global…
Red light therapy has long been used by humans to improve skin health, slow signs of ageing and soothe sore muscles – now the treatment is giving a glow-up to one of our most vital pollinators: bees. It works by stimulating the mitochondria – the powerhouses of living cells – boosting efficiency and catalysing tissue…
