Päiväaktiivisten yöperhosten suuremmat kuuloelimet kyseenalaistavat olettamukset niiden evoluutiosta | Helsingin yliopisto
Tutkijat tekivät odottamattoman löydön: päiväaktiivisilla yöperhosilla on suuremmat korvat kuin niiden yöaktiivisilla sukulaisilla. Havainto on yllättävä, koska päiväaktiiviset lajit eivät joudu kaikuluotaavien lepakoiden saalistamiksi.

(The news article, and to a lesser degree the study’s abstract imply females being more aggressive rather than self-reporting being so, which is what the study actually discovered.)

Females show higher sibling-specific aggression than males, study finds

(Earlier: Why the UK’s butterflies are booming in 2025)

Why are we seeing so many butterflies in Ireland this year?
Another reason for the 2025 butterfly boom is the weather in Europe. Hot, dry weather creates drought, and butterflies capable of migration escape by altitudinal and geographical migration. By moving north, Clouded Yellow, Large White, Small White, Red Admiral and Painted Lady butterflies can find succulent foodplants for their caterpillars.

Global inequality is huge — but so is the opportunity for people in high-income countries to support poor people
When we think of global inequality, it's easy to picture “the rich” as someone else — those with garages full of sports cars or taking private trips to space. But the richest tenth of the world includes us and likely many others who don’t intuitively think of themselves as “the rich”.

Dingoes are not domestic dogs – new evidence shows these native canines are on their own evolutionary path
In our new research, we lay out the scientific case showing dingoes do indeed meet these requirements, across genetic, behavioral, ecological and archaeological evidence. We now have a clear answer: dingoes are distinct.

Research shows the ‘compliment sandwich’ is no longer effective
Delivered with care and confidence, direct feedback doesn't just help employees grow, it can strengthen relationships and build trust. And that's exactly where the compliment sandwich crumbles. Instead of offering clarity, it creates confusion.
