Satellite Telemetry Data Reveals Narwhals Modifying Seasonal Migration Patterns in Response to Climate Modification

A narwhal swims amid ice during spring migration. Leaving the coast later each year may leave narwhals more vulnerable to getting trapped in sea ice that stops them surfacing. Credit: ReutersA group of investigators affiliated with many institutions in Canada as well as Denmark has discovered proof that narwhals have been changing their seasonal migration...

In A First, Investigators Found An Uncommon Mineral That Comes Straight From Earth’s Lower Mantle
