A newly discovered crocodile relative from the Triassic had a beak, tiny arms, and walked on two legs, making it look more like an ostrich-like dinosaur than a crocodile. During the Triassic Period, the ancestors of many modern animal groups were branching into an astonishing variety of shapes and lifestyles. Evolution was experimenting with body […]
This Dinosaur Had the Claws of a Raptor but Hunted Like a Heron
Scientists have uncovered a fish-hunting raptor from Patagonia that may have stalked prey like a giant prehistoric heron. A newly identified dinosaur from Patagonia is giving scientists fresh insight into how some raptor relatives lived during the final chapter of the age of dinosaurs. The species, named Kank australis, appears to have spent much of […]
Doctors May Need To Rethink Calcium and Vitamin D Recommendations After Major Review
New evidence suggests calcium and vitamin D supplements may do far less to prevent fractures and falls than widely believed. Calcium and vitamin D supplements, whether taken separately or together, provide little to no meaningful benefit in preventing fractures or falls in most older adults, according to a major review published in The BMJ. Nearly […]

Researchers Suspected Brain Inflammation in Long COVID but Found Something Else
Brain scans suggest long COVID’s biggest clues may lie in the brain’s emotion centers, not widespread inflammation. A new brain imaging study suggests that persistent symptoms of long COVID may not be driven by ongoing brain inflammation, as many researchers have suspected. Scientists in Finland used advanced imaging techniques to examine the brains of people […]
Largest Known Wild Chimpanzee Community Breaks Apart After Decades of Unity
Wild chimpanzees in Uganda split into two separate communities and later engaged in deadly attacks against each other. Researchers believe the conflict shows how social relationships alone can fuel polarization and violence. The world’s largest known community of wild chimpanzees has permanently divided into two separate groups. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin […]

Scientists Turn Mice Transparent to Uncover Obesity’s Secret Effects on Nerves
A new AI framework called MouseMapper allows scientists to examine disease-related changes across the entire body at cellular resolution. Obesity does much more than affect metabolism and fat storage. It also changes immune activity, nerve structure, and tissue organization throughout the body, raising the risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, […]
