Heat claimed more than 200,000 lives in Europe since 2022: WHO
More than 200,000 lives have been lost to the "silent killer" of heat in Europe since 2022, the World Health Organization said Thursday, after a heat wave saw s...
When seeds mislead, weeds succeed: Researchers uncover surprising ways weeds spread
Biologists have long thought that seed traits, such as the presence of wings, are the key to predicting in what way, and how far, weeds can disperse. Now, a tri...
