Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold
Researchers have engineered a yeast-based "superfood" that replicates the essential nutrients bees get from pollen, resulting in colonies producing up to 15 times more offspring in controlled trials. The breakthrough addresses a growing crisis as climate change and industrial agriculture steadily erode natural pollen availability. If scaled, the innovation could become a critical tool for stabilizing bee populations that underpin global food systems.

Freshwater fish populations plunge 81% as river migrations collapse
Global populations of migratory freshwater fish have crashed 81% since 1970, according to a landmark international report tracking the toll of dams and habitat fragmentation on river ecosystems. These species require unobstructed migration routes to survive, and the systematic blocking of waterways has severed the journeys many depend on for feeding and reproduction. Researchers are now calling for coordinated cross-border conservation efforts and urgent investment in restoring river connectivity before further losses become irreversible.
