After some scary population downturns and scarier rumors of bee populations crashing, honeybees are making a comeback, populationally speaking.^1,2 After a year of devastatingly bad news,³ bounce-back statistics on honeybee populations are now making for sweet news.

Dolphins—like other cetaceans such as whales, wholphins, and porpoises—are highly intelligent marine mammals, capable of astonishing feats. A recent University of Leeds study, led by Sonja Wild, adds to what we humans have learned about what and how dolphins learn.^1,2

Dolphins catch fish as prey by a mix of programmed instincts and learning.^3,4

Wandering albatrosses have the largest wingspan of any living bird, so they live much of life soaring above the oceans. With their wings—and a lot of winds—it is no wonder that their use of wind-power would be studied by scientists, as a recent report illustrates.^1,2 And, because albatross males are bigger, they need more wind.

A complex metabolic process called Chaperone-Mediated-Autophagy (CMA) was thought to be a recent evolutionary development in land vertebrates as it was only previously documented in mammals and birds. Now it has been found to be fully operational in fish—once again demonstrating that a lack of human knowledge is not evidence for evolution.¹

Once again, a scientific study shows how “farmed” or ranched creatures live better if their domesticated context resembles their natural habitat.¹ According to a recent study published in Aquaculture Reports, confined fish at Brazilian farms raising Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), fared better if they had an assortment of shelter-like structures and/or artific
