Paper, Looking to Temperatue Regulating Echidnas in Hibernation
Briefly reading through the paper, an echidna is capable of using cold as a resource and enters hibernation to not escape extreme weather of food scarcity, but purely to conserve energy. Scientists measured the body temperature of free range echnidnas and the soil near their hibernation locations […]
News, Cross-Modal Recognition in Bees
Cross-modal recognition is a trait that all humans have. It’s when we are able to recognize an object in one sensory ability while experiencing it in another. While not many other animals have cross-modal recognition, this report by Solvi, Al-Khudhairy, and Chittka shows that bees may be capable of possessing mental images of a known […]
Inspired by the Gentoo penguin, an architectural facade with traits similar to the penguin’s has been simulated to see whether or not it will provide efficient insulation in different weather circumstances. By analyzing the structure of the penguin feather, this researcher constructed a building wall with layers […]
