Atmospheric dust gives plants nutrients through their leaves, study finds
By integrating field observations with dust-deposition estimates and soil nutrient data from different regions, investigators found that during dust events, daily nutrient inputs via foliar uptake can match or exceed soil-derived inputs.

Tiny African fish caught climbing to the top of a 50-foot waterfall
For over half a century, people in Central Africa have told tales of the fish seen climbing waterfalls, but these claims have never been officially confirmed. Now, these fish have finally been caught on camera, studied more closely, and described in a study published in Scientific Reports.

Researchers present first fossilized 'emperor' butterfly
Butterfly fossils are rare, and finds that preserve fine anatomical details and wing patterns are an absolute exception. An international research team[…] has now described an exceptionally well-preserved [Apaturinae] fossil, approximately 34 to 28 million years old.

Study suggests people are losing 338 spoken words every year and have been for at least 15 years
When we plotted the daily spoken word counts against the year each study was collected, we found a consistent linear decline. Every year, the estimate of daily spoken words dropped by 338. That is how you get from around 16,000 in 2005 to around 12,700 by 2019.

Parasites defy biodiversity rules, thriving far from the equator
Parasite infections in [tropical regions] often lead to higher mortality, which makes it harder for parasites to persist. In cooler temperate waters, hosts can tolerate infections better, giving parasites a chance to survive, reproduce and complete their complex lifecycles.

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold
Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled trials, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health.

Huhtikuun (ja vähän maaliskuunkin) komeetat, C/2026 A1 ja C/2025 R3
Jos ennusteet pitävät paikkansa ja komeetta [C/2026 A1 (MAPS)] selviää Auringon lähiohituksesta, [se saattaa näkyä päivätaivaallakin.] [Komeetta C2025 R3 puolestaan kirkastuu huhtikuun loppupuolella] paljain silmin näkyväksi kohteeksi.
