Researchers Say Endangered Birds May Hold the Secret to Surviving Climate Change

Researchers Say Endangered , Birds May Hold the Secret to , Surviving Climate Change. 'Newsweek' reports that an endangered species of seabird is changing its migratory pattern to reach more hospitable climates, offering researchers new insights. On January 29, researchers at Oxford University's Biology Department and the University of Liverpool released the results of a 14-year study. The team's findings were published in the 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.'. The long-running study examined the migratory habits of the Balearic shearwater, the most endangered bird in Europe. . The study looked at how behavioral flexibility can influence a shift in migratory patterns. . Researchers observed that the birds were migrating farther and farther north in the summer, moving from the Atlantic coasts of Spain and France to the United Kingdom. We found that the best predictor of this change in migratory behavior was the average sea surface temperature in the summering-grounds, suggesting that the birds may well be following changes in underlying marine resources, Joe Wynn, study author, via 'Newsweek'. The fact that individuals can be this flexible in the face of rapid climate change is encouraging, Joe Wynn, study author, via 'Newsweek'. 'Newsweek' reports that the migratory change means the birds have a longer return trip to the Mediterranean every winter, the long-term impacts of which remain unclear. We don't know, for instance, how the delayed return to the breeding grounds is affecting their recovery from migration and courtship behaviors, which might have knock-on effects on their breeding success or survival. , Patrick Lewin, study co-author, via 'Newsweek'. In a species that's already critically endangered, we really need answers to those questions. , Patrick Lewin, study co-author, via 'Newsweek'

Study Investigates Link Between COVID, Mental Health and Insomnia

Study Investigates Link Between, COVID, Mental Health and Insomnia. PsyPost reports that a new study by Phenikaa University in Vietnam has highlighted one of the more common and lingering symptoms of COVID-19: insomnia. PsyPost reports that a new study by Phenikaa University in Vietnam has highlighted one of the more common and lingering symptoms of COVID-19: insomnia. As a sleep researcher, I received many questions and complaints from relatives, friends, and colleagues about their sleep disturbances after recovering from Covid-19, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost. I found that the majority of papers focused on hospitalized patients. The environment of their treatment and quarantine would differ greatly from those with milder symptoms, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost. Patients were asked to compare the quality and length of their sleep, as well as how easy it was for them to fall asleep, before and after they contracted COVID. Patients were asked to compare the quality and length of their sleep, as well as how easy it was for them to fall asleep, before and after they contracted COVID. Of the 1,056 people surveyed, over 76.1% of participants said they experienced insomnia. 22.8% of those surveyed reported experiencing severe insomnia. The study found that two groups experienced a statistically significant increased rate of insomnia, including those with depressive or anxious symptoms. The authors of the study note that further investigation of the connection between COVID, mental health problems and insomnia is needed. Since this is a cross-sectional study, the relationship of anxiety and depression with insomnia cannot be fully investigated, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost. In addition, collecting data online and a convenience sampling method can cause recall bias and selection bias. , Dr Huong T. X.
