Ancient DNA study reveals the prehistory of Southeastern Europe

https://www.mpg.de/11956654/ancient-dna-study-reveals-the-prehistory-of-southeastern-europe

In an ancient DNA study published this week in the journal Nature, scientists and archaeologists from over 80 different institutions lift the veil on the genomic history of Southeastern Europe, a region from which very little ancient genetic data has been available until now. This is the second-largest ancient DNA study ever reported.

Max Planck researchers support referendum on species diversity

Max Planck researchers support a referendum on species diversity proposing changes to the Bavarian environmental protection laws in Bavaria. According to scientists, the relevant legislative amendments could halt the disappearance of insects and birds in Bavaria. The referendum is held between the 31st of January and the 13th of February.

Surviving amongst cannibals

Beyond a certain population density, locusts form swarms with collective movement to keep the risk of cannibalism as low as possible. This is also the reason why the change in movement patterns developed at all in the course of evolution. The behavioural change from solitary individuals to gregarious individuals, called polyphenism, ensures the population’s survival. This discovery was made by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, working in an international research team, using a computer simulation. Moreover, according to the findings, the threshold value at which the swarm disperses again is considerably lower than at swarm formation. This is important for the prevention of locust plagues, in which the insects destroy entire harvests and cause great devastation.

How well do Germans understand weather risks?

https://www.mpg.de/14847266/0520-bild-134137-how-well-do-germans-understand-weather-risks

Many Germans have difficulty gauging the negative impact of weather conditions such as ground frost, heat, or UV radiation. This is one of the key results of a representative survey conducted by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, published in Weather, Climate, and Society. The study’s authors advocate new impact forecasts that predict not only what the weather will be, but also what it will do.
