A study during the Israel-Gaza war finds that higher levels enemy dehumanization, conspiracy mentality, support for political violence, high social media use, and skepticism impair fake news detection—an ability further lowered by right-wing ideology and war-specific news.

Warm springs caused by climate change are forcing bees and wasps to hatch earlier, causing summer species to lose up to 34% of their body mass and depleting the vital fat reserves of spring species, especially those in cooler regions, according to a large-scale study of 15,000 insects.

Global aquaculture is shifting toward less sustainable species as production focuses on finfish like salmon over seaweed and shellfish, according to a UBC study

Adolescents referred to gender identity services showed significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls both before and ≥ 2 years after referral.

Wild animals act as "landscape engineers": A new meta-analysis shows how activities like burrowing and feeding accelerate the movement of soil and sediment by an average of 136% in freshwater and 66% in terrestrial ecosystems across the globe.
