Scientists observed a rare tropical katydid changing color from bright pink to green over 11 days in Panama. The transformation helps the insect mimic young rainforest leaves that start pink before maturing green. Researchers describe it as a survival strategy rather than a mutation.

The end-Permian extinction, which occurred 252 million years ago, eliminated over 80 percent of marine species, yet many ocean ecosystems maintained complex structures with top predators surviving. A new study of seven global marine sites reveals that despite severe losses, five ecosystems retained at least four trophic levels. This suggests ecosystems' resilience depends on their unique species compositions, offering insights for modern climate threats.

A new study has found that releasing rescued Bengal slow lorises into the wild can lead to deadly territorial conflicts. Researchers tracked nine animals in a Bangladeshi national park and discovered only two survived, with most killed by other lorises. The findings highlight the need for better planning in wildlife reintroduction efforts.
