Maths makes finding bat roosts much easier, our research shows

Image
Finding bats is hard. They are small, fast and they primarily fly at night. But our new research could improve the way conservationists find bat roosts. We’ve developed a new algorithm that significantly reduces the area that needs to be searched, which could save time and cut labour cost. Of course, you may wonder why we would want to find bats in the first place. But these flying mammals are natural pest controllers and pollinators, and they help disperse seeds. So they are extremely useful in contributing to the health of our environment. Despite their importance though, bat habitats are threatened by human activities such as i......

Is social media making you unhappy? The answer is not so simple

You may have seen headlines that link social media to sadness and depression. Social media use goes up, happiness goes down. But recent studies suggest those findings might not be so straightforward. Although it is true that people’s feelings of envy and depression are linked to high social media use, there is evidence to suggest social media use may not be causing that relationship. Instead, your mindset may be the biggest thing affecting how social media connects to your wellbeing.

When people are under economic stress, their pets suffer too – we found parts of Detroit that are animal welfare deserts

Nearly two-thirds of U.S. households have at least one pet. More than ever before, companion animals are a part of life – particularly in cities, where the majority of Americans live. Cities offer access to many resources, but often it’s not distributed evenly. Some scholars describe parts of U.S. cities with few or no grocery stores as food deserts. Others have identified zones they call transit deserts, where reliable and convenient public transit is scarce or nonexistent. While the “desert” framing is controversial, there is little disagreement that access to goods and services in many U.S. cities is unequal. I have studied urban...... Read Full article on HadNews
