x/hesperornithiformes
— 4d
A fossilized feather found inside dinosaur dung in Montana is described as the best-preserved Mesozoic feather and offers new clues about why some birds survived the mass extinction while others did not. The evidence points to a connection with hesperornithiform aquatic birds and the evolution of the Neornithes lineage, potentially affecting survival outcomes across late Cretaceous birds.

European Mountain Plant Losses Rise Amid Species Gains
Environment
— Sep 3, 2026
A set of studies analyzing Europe’s mountain floras shows that climate warming is paradoxically increasing overall plant richness on summit peaks while driving higher extinction rates among cold-adapted, high-elevation species. Long-term monitoring across 62 summits reveals that losses rise with warming and that “extinction debt” and competitive replacement by upslope invaders explain why local extinctions accelerate even as total species numbers climb.
