A new study in Nature Communications finds that birds with large brains or wide geographic ranges may still face high risk from climate change. Researchers analyzed 1,500 bird species and discovered that climate specialization, not range size or intelligence, is the key vulnerability. BulletsIn Study analyzed 1,500 bird species to assess climate risk Found birds

A groundbreaking study has revealed that the Indian tectonic plate is not sliding smoothly beneath the Tibetan Plateau, as once thought. Instead, it’s warping and tearing apart below the Himalayas. This discovery comes just weeks after a major earthquake in Myanmar and reshapes scientific understanding of the region’s seismic and geological evolution. BulletsIn Indian Plate
