Scientists have documented orcas and Pacific white-sided dolphins cooperating to hunt salmon off the coast of British Columbia — a behavior never recorded before. Using drones, underwater cameras and acoustic tags, researchers found that northern resident killer whales were following dolphins that acted like “scouts,” chasing large Chinook salmon ahead of the whales. In return, dolphins fed on scraps once the whales tore the fish apart at the surface. The whales showed no aggression, which surprised researchers since they normally guard fresh prey. Audio recordings revealed alternating echolocation clicks from both species, suggesting they may be listening to each other…

Humans have been ranked 7th out of 35 mammal species for monogamy in a new University of Cambridge study, placing us well above meerkats and chimpanzees — but still behind Eurasian beavers and other top-ranked species. Researchers compared genetic data to see how often siblings shared both parents. Humans scored 66% full siblings, while beavers reached 72%. At the bottom of the list were chimpanzees, dolphins and mountain gorillas, showing far more promiscuous mating patterns. The findings suggest humans evolved a relatively uncommon form of pair bonding among mammals — likely linked to paternal care and offspring survival. However, scientists…

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is advancing legislation to extend pandemic-era Obamacare subsidies, potentially easing financial pressure for millions of Americans. The effort aims to support stability in health coverage, especially for low- and middle-income families during uncertain economic times. The subsidies, originally expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic, helped reduce insurance premiums and made healthcare more accessible. The proposed legislation would continue these benefits for another year, ensuring people can afford coverage without interruption. Supporters of the bill say extending subsidies will prevent Americans from losing insurance or facing unaffordable costs. Lawmakers emphasize that maintaining access to healthcare is critical…

Health authorities in England have identified a newly evolved mpox variant in a patient who recently travelled to Asia. Genome sequencing confirmed the virus is a recombinant strain, containing genetic material from two known mpox clades – clade 1, which is linked with more severe illness, and clade 2, the strain behind the global 2022 outbreak. The UK Health Security Agency said it is assessing the significance of the new variant, stressing that viral evolution is expected as different strains circulate. Officials urged eligible individuals to get vaccinated as a precaution. Mpox, formerly monkeypox, spreads through close contact with infected…
