Photo courtesy Kevin Gourlay. Three new populations of Vancouver Island marmot have been identified by researchers this summer — an encouraging development for a species on the brink of extinction. The Vancouver Island marmot is a medium-sized, burrowing rodent that lives in colonies within sub-alpine habitats. With an estimated population of just over 200 individuals, it is considered one of the rarest mammals on the planet, and as such, is a federally-protected species at risk. Heading into the summer, there were between 24 to 28 known colonies of the species, said Adam Taylor, executive director of the Nanaimo-based Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation. This range is given because while some colonies are large and well-established, others come in and out of existence as they are repea...

The warm, sunny weather can send many fluttering butterflies through our gardens but some butterflies can still be seen in the colder months. There are 59 butterfly species in Britain and up to 30 others that travel over from elsewhere in Europe. Some species require specialised habitats such as woodlands so they are unlikely to be seen in gardens. Some butterflies hibernate during the winter whilst others have a lifespan of two to four weeks during the warmer months. The species that are most likely to be found near our homes include peacock, red admiral, brimstone, painted lady, small white, large white, small tortoiseshell, green-veined white and comma butterflies. Here's everything you need to know about butterflies in the UK at this time of year: Are butterflies around all year? Some species of butterfly can be found during the colder months of the year. Butterflies are usually seen from late March and April onwards until September or October but due to climate change, this ma...

"​​Some examples of foods that do not contain detectable FODMAPs include strawberries, pineapple, kale, spinach, carrots, oranges, cucumbers and parsnips, additionally, meat, poultry, fish and eggs—unless prepared with marinades, sauces, or seasonings that include high FODMAP ingredients," says Lavy. If that's not enough to get you meal planning, you can find a complete list of low-FODMAP foods here. If you need a little more direction, Scarlata adds that some of her low-to-moderate FODMAP grocery store staples include: Oats Brown rice Quinoa Chia and pumpkin seeds Slow leavened sourdough bread Peanut butter Lactose-free plain Greek yogurt and lactose-free milk Firm tofu Pumpkin If you're looking for more of an on-the-go snack, there are low-FODMAP snack bars you can buy at the store or online, such as FODY foods, Go Macro, and Enjoy Life foods.

JOHANNESBURG/NEW YORK, 29 November 2021  – At least 300,000 children were newly infected with HIV in 2020, or one child every two minutes, UNICEF said in a report released today. Another 120,000 children died from AIDS-related causes during the same period, or one child every five minutes. The latest HIV and AIDS Global Snapshot warns that a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic is deepening the inequalities that have long driven the HIV epidemic, putting vulnerable children, adolescents, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers at increased risk of missing life-saving HIV prevention and treatment services. "The HIV epidemic enters its fifth decade amid a global pandemic that has overloaded health care systems and constrained access to life-saving services. Meanwhile, rising poverty, mental health issues, and abuse are increasing children and women's risk of infection," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. "Unless we ramp up efforts to resolve...

Mascot-nabbing has been technically off-limits between the service academies for nearly 30 years, but that didn't stop West Point cadets last weekend from executing a heist of Bill, the Naval Academy's beloved goat. Problem was, they took the wrong kid. At some point over the weekend, a band of U.S. Military Academy cadets snuck onto the Maryland farm where Bill, his understudy and predecessors live. They stole what they thought was the current mascot, a curly-haired Angora that attends all Naval Academy football games. But instead of goat-napping current mascot Bill XXXVII, they made off with Bill XXXIV, a 14-year-old billy with just one horn who retired in 2015. The heist, first reported Tuesday in The New York Times, was a clandestine mission Times reporter Dave Philipps called "a Bay of Pigs-style embarrassment." "The noisy assault team spooked the goats into a run, though, and when the fumbl...

KARACHI: A respiratory disease similar to the coronavirus is rapidly spreading among chicken across the country, ARY News reported on Thursday. As per details, a disease called 'infectious coryza has spread in poultry farms across Pakistan and a number of poultry farms in Karachi have been closed after the disease. Chairman Consumer Association Pakistan Kokab Iqbal talking to ARY News programme Bakhbar Savera said the disease is similar to coronavirus disease in which chicken have common cold and respiratory problems. Recalling the past, he said that chicken was hit was bird flu and "Ranikhet" disease in the past too, which brought their prices recorded a massive decline. He urged the masses to get them safe from the disease and adopt precautionary measures in this context. Replying to a question, Kokab Iqbal said that they are receiving reports about the spread of the disease in the United States, but not as much across Pakistan. Read more: Inquiry reveals wh...

The housed period has begun on farms, with silage pits now being opened to feed stock for the winter ahead. Farmers will have worked hard to preserve the forage in the pit so limiting the amount of spoilage caused when feeding is important. There will always be some spoilage, with the shoulders usually being the most common area and cattle will also reject a certain amount. Silage quality Ideally the face of your silage pit should be used in one week. A long narrow pit is better than a wider faced pit. The wider the pit, the longer it will take to eat the face, which can lead to increased spoilage. If you have not already done so, you should sharpen your shear grab, to keep the face of the pit tidy and ensure a clean cut. A blunt shear grab will leave an uneven face which will allow increased air flow through the pit and accelerate spoilage. Mouldy silage The feeding of mouldy silage to dairy cows or youngstock is not advised. The feeding value of mouldy silage is ...

Marine ecologist Piper Wallingford was doing fieldwork on the rocky shore of Laguna Beach, California, in 2016 when she noticed a dime-sized creature she'd never seen before. It was a dark unicorn snail, a predator that drills into mussels and injects an enzyme that liquefies their flesh. "Then," Wallingford explains, "they basically suck it out like soup." The animal is native to the Mexican state of Baja California, Wallingford later learned, and it's been migrating up the coast over the last few decades in search of new habitat, eating into local mussel populations along the way. It's also one of countless species around the world — from white-tailed deer to lobsters to armadillos to maple trees — that are moving with the climate. Ecologists expect climate change to create mass alterations in the habitats of these "range-shifting" or "climate-tracking" species, as they're sometimes called, which will reshuffle ecosystems in...

Child Bitten by Bat Develops 'Rare Case of Human Rabies' Nov. 3, 2021 A child in Texas who was bitten by a bat has developed "a rare case of human rabies," Texas Health and Human Services said in a news release. The release didn't give the child's condition or reveal specifics about the case, other than saying the child is a resident of Medina County, west of San Antonio, and is being treated in a Texas hospital. Health officials are trying to determine whether anybody else who came in contact with the bat or the child needs vaccination to prevent them from developing rabies. "Once someone becomes sick with rabies, it is almost always fatal," the release said. "However, the illness is preventable if rabies vaccine and immune globulin are administered before symptoms start." Texas Health and Human Services didn't say if treatment started before the symptoms. The treatment for rabies is a vaccine -- postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). People ...

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) recognizes that species are disappearing at an alarming rate in this day and age. Its goal is simple: protect the ever-dwindling wild places on the planet through education, inspiration, and actual conservation action. Finally, there's the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), an organization that has been supporting endangered species such as tigers, orangutans, rhinos, chimpanzees, elephants, whales, gorillas, and more, for decades.
