A study reveals for the first time amazing similarities between the neocortex of mammals and sensory brain areas of birds: both are arranged in horizontal layers and vertical columns.

Caribbean islands face loss of protection and biodiversity as seagrass loses terrain

Over the years she saw the pressures on this natural storm protection increasing. James warns that further loss of these green meadows will leave tropical islands vulnerable.
