From hybrids to 'virgin birth,' stick insects reveal stepwise loss of sex
From hybrids to 'virgin birth,' stick insects reveal stepwise loss of sex Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The evolution of sex remains one of biology's greatest puzzles. While sexual reproduction dominates across the animal kingdom, scientists still debate why it persists despite its high costs. Even more mysterious is the loss of sex in favor of asexual reproduction whereby females give birth to copies of themselves without any contribution from males.
Turbulence-based parametrization of animal flight
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Animals capable of powered flight range in wingspan from a few hundred microns to a few meters. The inertial turbulence to which these animals are exposed features vortices ranging from a few hundred micrometers to hundreds of kilometers in size. Yet, the impact of ambient turbulence on animal flight is virtually uncharted and most studies on animal flight are conducted in still air or under laminar conditions.

PRIMA: Boosting Animal Mesh Recovery with Biological Priors and Test-Time Adaptation
arXiv:2606.02366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present PRIMA (*PRI*ors for *M*esh *A*daptation), a framework for robust 3D quadruped mesh recovery under severe species and pose imbalance. Existing animal reconstruction methods often regress toward mean shapes and poses due to limited 3D supervision and long-tailed species distributions, resulting in poor generalization to underrepresented animals and rare articulations. PRIMA addresses this challenge through three key contributions.
They call it stupid hot for a reason: Heat muddles animal brains
On a blazing hot day in South Africa, female southern pied babblers can’t think straight. The medium-sized black-and-white birds are trying to get at tasty mealworms behind a see-through barrier. On cooler days, the birds can quickly figure out that all they have to do is go around the small wall of plastic.
Stupid hot: Heat waves cause cognitive changes in animals, making them more aggressive and unable to complete basic tasks
Stupid hot: Heat waves cause cognitive changes in animals, making them more aggressive and unable to complete basic tasks As temperatures rise, some creatures pick fights while others struggle to learn. The consequences of these behavioral changes may ripple through ecosystems. On a blazing hot day in South Africa, female southern pied babblers can't think straight.

Zoo loved by families forced to close forever with heartbreaking explanation
Zoo loved by families forced to close forever with heartbreaking explanation The Zoo closed its gates for good after running up around £3.5 million in debt and failing to renew its licence due to animal welfare concerns, ending over 50 years of history Glaswegians were heartbroken when the gates of their beloved zoo closed for good, with a devastating reason behind the popular attraction's demise. Glasgow Zoo was a sprawling 99-acre attraction in Baillieston which had been a cherished part...
