Eat, prey, love: Nurse shark mating and Northeast angler conflicts offer conservation insights
While the Discovery Channel's annual Shark Week event has given the public greater familiarity with sharks, much about them - from their mysterious love lives to how their eating habits bring them into conflict with recreational anglers - remains a mystery to scientists. Now, two new studies led by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst peer into these important aspects of shark biology to help guide real-world conservation strategies.
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology. We surface discoveries that expand what humanity can do, from new treatments reaching clinical trials to engineering feats that seemed impossible a decade ago. Every link goes to the original publisher so you can read the full study or press release yourself.
