Nature documentaries talk about threats to nature but rarely show those threats

Researchers analysing recent BBC and Netflix nature documentaries found that although they increasingly mention threats to nature, visual depictions of these threats remain scarce, potentially misleading audiences on the state of the natural world. The findings are discussed in a Perspective published in the British Ecological Society journal People and Nature Researchers from Bangor University,

Saving the tiger with a profiling tool used to catch serial criminals

A geographic profiling tool used to catch serial criminals could help reduce the casualties of human-tiger conflict, according to University scientists who collaborated on an innovative conservation research study. The results of their research, published in Nature Communications, help explain how villagers in Sumatra coexist with tigers. If used pre-emptively it could have helped cut attacks by half,

Inhibiting an enzyme common to all animals prolongs lifespan in flies and worms

The lifespans of flies and worms are prolonged by limiting the activity of an enzyme common to all animals, finds a UCL-led study. The enzyme – RNA polymerase III (Pol III) – is present in most cells across all animal species, including humans. While it is known to be essential for making proteins and for

Biodiversity Considerations Overshadowed by Climate Change

Kent research suggests that recent high levels of media coverage for climate change may have deflected attention and funding from biodiversity loss. In a paper published by the journal Bioscience, Kent conservationists also recommend that, to prevent biodiversity from becoming a declining priority, conservationists need to leverage the importance of climate change to obtain more

Accidental nanoparticle discovery could hail revolution in manufacturing

The nanoparticles were discovered accidentally on the rough surfaces of a reactor designed to grow carbon nanotubes A nanoparticle shaped like a spiky ball, with magnetic properties, has been uncovered in a new method of synthesising carbon nanotubes by physicists at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Kent. Carbon nanotubes are hollow,

Nasty bacteria get gagged with plastic

Everyone knows that when certain bacteria are present in an environment, they can cause infections. These infections can take the form of diseases such as bubonic plague, cholera, leprosy, and tuberculosis. The problem isn’t simply that the bacteria are present, however, it’s that they communicate with one another – essentially coming up with a battle
