New fossil reveals origin of arthropod breathing system
University of Manchester research fellow David Legg, in collaboration with a team of international scientists from China, Switzerland, and Sweden, has today announced a new fossil that reveals the origin of gills in arthropods. Arthropods, the group of animals that includes creepy crawlies like spiders and woodlice, are the largest phylum in the animal kingdom and are found everywhere from the deepest ocean trench to the top of Mount Everest.

Opinion: Cranes - why Britain’s tallest bird just had its best breeding year since the 1600s
The total population of cranes in the UK is now believed to be over 200 thanks to the careful guarding of nests and a carefully designed breeding programme, says Honorary Professor Richard Gregory (UCL Division of Biosciences).

Unexpected deep diving in albatross
Data collected by the team revealed that 50% of the birds studied were capable of diving over twice the depth previously thought, with implications for conservation efforts of this endangered species. In a recent study published in Current Biology , a collaboration between researchers from Oxford University, University of Lisbon and the British Geological Survey found that black-browed albatross dive deeper than previously realised.

To curb the spread of Covid-19, restrict intercity travel as soon as a lockdown is announced
Researchers find that viral spread is greatly enhanced when citizens are given a window to travel before next-level restrictions are enforced. Last updated on Friday 17 September 2021 Travel within your own country in response to the government announcing a national lockdown is directly linked to a sharp rise in Covid-19 infections, according to an international study led by Bangladesh and involving a researcher from the University of Bath.

Dive bombing Killer flies are so fast they lose steering control
Killer flies can reach accelerations of over 3g when aerial diving to catch their prey - but at such high speeds they often miss because they can't correct their course.

New research is set to begin to investigate the lifelong consequences of domestic violence on brain health. The Drake IPV Study - led by the University of Glasgow in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, and funded by The Drake Foundation - will examine individuals exposed to domestic abuse, many of whom currently report a history of traumatic brain injury.
