Arctic residents are using mobile apps to record local observations such as ice conditions, weather and wildlife, which are then converted into usable climate data for researchers. The approach pairs Indigenous and community knowledge with scientists' needs, helping fill monitoring gaps in remote northern regions where instrument coverage is sparse. It highlights a growing role for citizen-collected data in Arctic climate research.

Scientists have announced the discovery of a striking new fish species in the Amazon, adding to the basin's remarkable biodiversity. The find, reported by the science publication Nautilus, underscores how much of the rainforest's aquatic life remains undocumented even as the region faces mounting pressure from deforestation and development.

Casper, a rare white 'ghost lobster', is helping scientists study the genetics behind its unusual coloring. The rare crustacean is drawing attention for its ghostly white shell and its role in cracking a genetic mystery. The story is being shared widely among science and wildlife enthusiasts online.
