Forty new migratory species win international protection: UN body The decision came at the conclusion of the COP15 summit on migratory species in Campo Verde, Brazil, which brought together representatives from 132 countries and the European Union. It is one of the world's most important global meetings for wildlife conservation. Also on the new list for protection along with the snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) are the Hudsonian godwit (Limosa haemastica) -- a long-beaked shorebird threatened with extinction -- and the great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran). The new list featured land mammals like the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) and other aquatic wildlife such as the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis). The countries that are party to the CMS are legally obliged to protect species listed as at risk of extinction, conserve and restore their habitats, prevent obstacles to migration and cooperate with other range states. Campo Verde is in Brazil's biodiversity-rich Pantanal wetlands, in the southern Amazon. According to a report released ahead of the summit, nearly half (49 percent) of all species catalogued by the CMS are showing signs of declining numbers, and nearly one in four are threatened with extinction on a worldwide scale. Another major UN assessment, published on Tuesday as the summit opened, warned that migratory freshwater...

De huismus staat op de Rode Lijst van de Nederlandse broedvogels. Het recente herstel is nog te beperkt om te compenseren voor de grote afname die eind vorige eeuw heeft plaatsgevonden. In het stedelijk gebied zijn zowel nestgelegenheid als voedselbeschikbaarheid afgenomen. Oorzaken zijn de veranderingen in woningbouw (verdwijnen ouderwetse pannendaken), woningrenovatie (geen toegang meer tot nestplekken), beheer van stedelijk groen (minder onkruid- en insectenrijke vegetaties en dus voedselproblemen, minder struiken om te schuilen) en verstening van tuinen.

Multi-marker eDNA metabarcoding revealed contrasting biodiversity organization and assembly in two alpine river systems on the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. Climatic and hydrological gradients structured community composition and interactions. Co-occurrence networks showed cohesive communities in the cold Yellow River but modular, flexible ones in the monsoon-influenced Nujiang River.

New butterfly species recorded in Arunachal named after Zubeen Garg A new species of butterfly recorded in a forest of Arunachal Pradesh’s Leparada district has been named after Zubeen Garg, the cultural icon of Assam, whose death on September 19, 2025, triggered a storm. The researchers — Roshan Upadhaya, a scholar at Punjab’s RIMT University, and Kalesh Sadasivan of Travancore Natural History Society — have proposed Basar Duke as the common name for Euthalia zubeengargi, which was observed during field surveys conducted in 2025. The former is an Arunachal police constable. Their findings in semi-evergreen forests at elevations of 600-750 metres appeared in the latest issue of Entomon, a quarterly journal published by the Association for Advancement of Entomology, an Indian non-governmental organisation. Despite months of observation, the researchers documented only two male individuals, one collected specimen and another photographed in the wild, indicating that the species may be rare or highly localised. “The butterfly belongs to the genus Euthalia, a group commonly found across South and Southeast Asia. Members of this group are typically seen in forested habitats and are known for their earthy brown wings marked with pale spots,” Mr. Upadhaya said. He said the newly discovered species stands out for its distinct wing patterns and structural features,...

Knowledge Nugget: CMS, COP15 and Migratory Species Conservation - what and why to study for UPSC prelims 1. The CMS is a legally binding global treaty, signed in 1979 under the United Nations Environment Programme, which aims to conserve migratory animals and their habitats across national habitats and across borders. As of today, 133 nations are parties to the Convention, engaging in international cooperation and coordinated action to conserve migratory species. 2. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN), a migratory species is defined as: ‘the entire population or any geographically separate part of the population of any species or lower taxon of wild animals, a significant proportion of whose members cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries.’ 3. Conference of the Parties is the principal decision-making body of the Convention, which meets once every three years and sets the budget and decides priorities for the following three years. At the COP, parties decide on whether to list new species or amend existing listings in the Appendices and consider reports submitted by each Party, the Scientific Council, and the Agreements established under the Convention. 4. The CMS has two appendices. It is important to note that a migratory species can be listed in both the appendices. Story continues below this ad...

First New Dinosaur Species Found in Korea in 15 Years Surprises Scientists Scientists discovered Doolysaurus, a baby dinosaur from Korea revealed through CT scanning. The fossil shows a small, likely fuzzy omnivore and suggests more hidden dinosaur remains in the region. In South Korea, a mischievous green cartoon dinosaur named Dooly, known for the two small tufts of hair on his head, is one of the most beloved cartoon characters. When researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and the Korean Dinosaur Research Center uncovered a new juvenile dinosaur species on Aphae Island, they chose a fitting name: Doolysaurus. “Dooly is one of the very famous, iconic dinosaur characters in Korea. Every generation in Korea knows this character,” said Jongyun Jung, a visiting postdoctoral researcher at UT’s Jackson School of Geosciences who led the research. “And our specimen is also a juvenile, or ‘baby,’ so it’s perfect for our dinosaur species name to honor Dooly.” First Korean Dinosaur Discovery in 15 Years This find marks the first new dinosaur species identified in South Korea in 15 years and the first fossil from the country to include parts of a skull. Those skull elements were revealed through a scientific micro-CT scan at the University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (UTCT) facility...

Study reveals genetic evolution of major malaria vector species in South America Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes-a major vector of malaria in South America-are evolving in response to insecticides, which may make them harder to kill and malaria more difficult to control, according to a new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study will be published March 26, 2026, in Science. It is the first study to sequence a large number (>1000) of complete genomes of Anopheles mosquitoes in the Americas, where there are more than 600,000 cases of malaria annually, mostly in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Malaria remains stubbornly persistent in South America, and there is a risk that dangerous drug-resistant strains of the malaria parasite could evolve in the Americas and then spread elsewhere. Our study plays a major role in revealing the evolutionary dynamics of a primary malaria vector, providing new insights into Anopheles darlingi biology that could help improve methods for blocking disease transmission." Jacob Tennessen, corresponding author, research scientist, Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases Prior studies on Anopheles darlingi population genetics have used sets of genetic markers but not the whole genome. For this study, the researchers generated whole genome sequences for 1,094 adult female Anopheles darlingi mosquitoes from 16 locations-including forests, wetlands,...
