The mysteries of how migratory animals navigate are being unravelled in a potential boost to conservation efforts. This week Horizon Magazine spoke to EU-funded researchers who shed light on the ability of moths and birds to chart their way with the help of stars and of eye molecules known as cryptochromes.
Lynxes and vultures offer other lessons for wildlife conservation. We talked to researchers seeking to ensure the successful transfer of lynxes within Europe to increase local populations and help design public health policies that let vultures thrive.
Could smell be the key to making people embrace alternative protein sources such as insects – a switch that would bring health and environmental benefits? We featured one researcher investigating the role of aromas in shaping people's preferences for foods and another expert determined to make insects, microalgae and single-cell proteins a bigger part of human and livestock diets. |
