FOOD COLLAPSE: German farmers in despair as field mice strip bare arable land
Plagues of mice had stripped bare more than 120,000 hectares of German farmlands, reported authorities. Farmers suspect that the succession of arid summers, among other factors, had enabled field mice to reproduce at a rate that had not been seen since the 1970s. Farmers said that the mice had been tunneling under the fields for […]

Dolphins in the English Channel have high levels of mercury in their skin AND blubber: Chemicals have been poisoning dolphins for decades, warn scientists
Bottlenose dolphins might not be an endangered species, but these charming marine mammals do face certain threats, such as commercial fishing and habitat destruction. Nonetheless, scientists find that neither of these is as serious nor as pressing as another emerging threat: chemical poisoning. In a major breakthrough, scientists from the University of Liege (ULiege) in Belgium and […]
