Beluga whales keep switching mates and it may be saving their species

Beluga whales keep switching mates and it may be saving their species Beluga whales may be beating the odds against inbreeding by constantly changing partners over their decades-long lives. Date: - June 4, 2026 - Source: - Frontiers - Summary: - Hidden beneath Arctic waters, beluga whales have long kept their family lives a mystery. By analyzing DNA from more than 600 belugas in Alaska’s Bristol Bay over 13 years, researchers uncovered a surprisingly flexible mating system: both males and...

The Singapore International Jewellery Expo returns in July with a new identity and refreshed show

The Singapore International Jewellery Expo returns in July with a new identity and refreshed show Positioned as Asia’s main destination for global jewellery and watch brands, the show brings together rare gemstones, fine craftsmanship and notable pieces for collectors and trade professionals over four days. The rarest jewellery is rarely found in mall window displays. It moves between ateliers in Paris, workshops in Italy and Hong Kong, and cutting centres in Antwerp before arriving at a...

The Ordinary Miracle of Existing

On the northwestern shore of Africa, some 150 miles south of the Canary Islands, the coastline slightly bulges in a pimple known as Cape Bojador. For Europeans in the early 15th century, Cape Bojador marked the boundary between the known and the unknown. North of the cape was civilization and the cities of light.

Hidden meltwater found deep in Antarctic coastal waters reveals stronger climate impacts

June 5, 2026 feature Hidden meltwater found deep in Antarctic coastal waters reveals stronger climate impacts Hannah Bird Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Freshwater from melting Antarctic glaciers may be influencing the Southern Ocean in ways scientists have largely overlooked. New research, published in Frontiers in Marine Science, has found that glacial meltwater is not confined to the ocean's surface, as previously assumed, but can also be detected much...

Ancient burial reveals rare jewelry find that archaeologists call 'highly unusual'

'We were being bullied in our own home': How 'authoritarian' HOAs are contributing to the insect apocalypse

'We were being bullied in our own home': How 'authoritarian' HOAs are contributing to the insect apocalypse In the book "Bitter Honey," writer and researcher Jennie Durant explores how industrial agriculture is destroying bees — and what can be done to stop them. There's an army of tiny workers buzzing around our fields, helping our food grow. But over the past few decades, populations of bees and other insect pollinators have dropped precipitously.

Measurement of reactor neutrino oscillation with the first JUNO data

Abstract Neutrino oscillations (see refs. 1,2 and references therein), a quantum effect manifesting at macroscopic scales, are governed by lepton flavour mixing angles and neutrino mass-squared differences3 that are fundamental parameters of particle physics, representing phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Precision measurements of these parameters are essential for testing the completeness of the three-flavour framework, determining the mass ordering of neutrinos and probing possible new...

A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone

Abstract Whale falls are biodiversity oases at seabeds1,2,3,4,5,6, yet their record from the oceans has remained sparse and fragmentary6,7. Here we report the discovery of a vast whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone (4,616- to 7,001-m depth), extending about 1,200 km along the sea floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean. This area has a deep and extensive accumulation comprising five modern natural whale-fall communities and 476 fossil cetaceans recorded.
