Mountain lions in Greater Los Angeles are becoming increasingly nocturnal as a response to human recreational activities, according to a study published on November 15 in the Biological Conservation journal. The research highlights how these large predators, also known as pumas or cougars, are adapting their natural activity patterns to minimise encounters with humans who frequent their habitats for hiking, cycling, and jogging. These behavioural shifts show and highlight the challenges faced by wildlife coexisting with urban populations. Study Reveals Shifts in Activity Patterns The study , led by Ellie Bolas, a doctoral researcher at the University of California, Davis, analysed data collected from 22 GPS-collared mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains between 2011 and 2018. Using exercise activity data from the online platform Strava, the team compared human recreational patterns with the movements of the collared mountain lions . The findings revealed that mountain lions ...

A powerful storm system, expected to intensify into a "bomb cyclone," is heading towards Northern California and southern Oregon, potentially bringing severe weather conditions from Tuesday, 19 November, to Thursday, 21 November. Meteorologists have warned of extreme rain, high winds, and significant snowfall in higher altitudes, raising concerns about flash flooding and other hazards across the region. According to WeatherNation, the storm is forecast to undergo rapid pressure drops, a phenomenon termed "bombogenesis." The pressure is expected to plummet from over 1,000 millibars on Monday evening to below 950 millibars by Tuesday night. This sharp decline signifies a rapidly intensifying storm, confirmed by data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ). Key Areas to Experience Severe Impacts The University of California, San Diego, has classified the impacts between the San Francisco Bay Area and Eureka, California, as "extreme....

In 1975, NASA's Viking programme made history when its twin landers became the first American spacecraft to successfully reach the surface of Mars . These landers conducted pioneering experiments, collecting and analysing Martian soil samples for over six years in a quest to determine whether microbial life existed on the Red Planet . However, a provocative new theory suggests that the very methods used in these experiments may have unintentionally killed potential life on Mars. Life Detection Methods Under Scrutiny Dirk Schulze-Makuch, an astrobiologist at the Technische Universität Berlin, has proposed that the Viking experiments might have encountered Martian microbes but destroyed them by introducing liquid water. In a commentary published in Nature Astronomy , Schulze-Makuch argued that Mars' hyperarid environment, drier than Earth's Atacama Desert, likely harbours lifeforms adapted to extract moisture from salts in the atmosphere. These organisms, if present, coul...
