Some seabirds survive typhoons by flying into them. Streaked shearwaters nesting on islands off Japan sometimes head straight toward passing typhoons, where they fly near the eye of the storm for hours at a time. It’s the first time this behavior has been observed in any bird species.

Using the ESO’s VLT, astronomers have discovered the heaviest element ever found in an exoplanet atmosphere — barium. They discover barium at high altitudes in the atmospheres of the ultra-hot gas giants WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b — two exoplanets, planets which orbit stars outside our Solar System.

Hybrid songbirds found more often in human-altered environments. It's the first study to positively correlate hybridization in any species with landscape changes caused by humans, and the first to examine this relationship across an entire species’ range—spanning almost all of western North America.

Cooperative sperm outrun loners in the mating race. In simulated reproductive tracts of animals like cattle and humans, the behavior increases the chances that groups of cooperative bovine sperm will outpace meandering loners as they race to fertilize a female egg cell, physicists report.
