It provides information on the fossil and its significance to the study of mammal evolution. 2. "Scientists Discover That Mammals May Have Originated Before Dinosaurs" (National Geographic, August 2018): This article discusses a new study which suggests that mammals may have originated before dinosaurs. It covers the evidence used to make this conclusion and the implications this could have on our understanding of mammal evolution. 3. "Why Do We Have Mammals?" (Smithsonian Magazine, February 2019): This article provides an overview of the evolution of mammals and why they are so successful today. It discusses the adaptations that have allowed mammals to survive and thrive in different environments, as well as their importance to the ecosystem. 4. "Mapping the Genome of Human and Other Mammal Species" (Live Science, May 2018): This article discusses how scientists are using genome mapping to better understand the evolution of humans and other mammals. It covers the types of information that can be obtained by mapping the genome and how it can be used
Urbanization appears to take a greater toll on wild mammals in hotter, less vegetated locales than in cooler, greener ones, according to a new study, which was published in Nature Ecology & Evolution on Monday. The findings suggest that climate change could exacerbate the effects of urbanization on wild animals.
Whale aficionados and everyone passing by the Georgia Aquarium this weekend and next week will likely catch sight of PETA’s new sky-high appeal in the Whale aficionados and everyone passing by the Georgia Aquarium this weekend and next week will likely catch sight of PETA’s new sky-high appeal in the heart of downtown asking why anyone would accept the separation of cows from their calves on dairy factory farms but be rightly outraged when the same thing is done to whales and their calves. The two mammals are the same in all the ways that matter: Both nurse their young, bond tightly with their calves, interact in socially complex ways, and mourn when they’re separated from those they love.
New research published in Nature Communications finds that the effects on marine predators such as sharks, tuna, and mammals vary widely and can redistribute species across international boundaries. Scientists predicted these shifts using species distribution models that account for changes in temperature and other environmental conditions.
The bird flu-infected sea lions washed up on Argentina’s shores. Click to read more. Sea lions in the hundreds washed up on Argentina's shores, and local authorities are suspecting that a potential bird flu outbreak is behind the mass deaths of the marine mammals, according to reports.
Read the full story from the University of Montana. Fresh research suggests that national parks enhance bird diversity inside their borders. Large parks also support higher diversity of both birds and mammals in nearby unprotected areas.
