Elephant seal numbers drop after avian flu outbreak: First report of transmission between marine mammals

Elephant seal numbers drop after avian flu outbreak: First report of transmission between marine mammals

The sounds of barking elephant seals are again in the air along the breeding grounds of Península Valdés, Argentina—but it's quieter. Almost exactly a year after a massive outbreak of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza killed more than 17,000 elephant seals, including about 97% of their pups, scientists estimate that only about a third of the elephant seals normally expected here returned.

Secrets of the corpse flower revealed

Secrets of the corpse flower revealed

The unusual odor of the titan arum, commonly called the corpse flower because its scent is reminiscent of rotting flesh, draws crowds of curious visitors to greenhouses around the world during its rare blooms. What also intrigues scientists is the corpse flower's propensity for warming itself up just before blooming through a process known as thermogenesis, an uncommon trait in plants that is not well understood.

Astronomers observe an unlucky star's repeated tidal disruptions

Astronomers observe an unlucky star's repeated tidal disruptions

When a star moves around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a close elliptical orbit, it gets partially tidally disrupted every time it reaches the pericenter, emitting a series of luminous flares, known as a partial tidal disruption event (pTDE).
