A groundbreaking study has unveiled a new transmissible cancer affecting catfish populations, characterized by skin lesions that can spread from one fish to another, which is an unusual occurrence in the animal kingdom. Researchers are now delving into the mechanisms of this disease's transmission, which has already affected numerous lakes throughout New England and Canada, placing catfish among a rare group of animals susceptible to transmissible cancers.

Archaeologists excavating a site in central Angola before it is flooded by a hydroelectric dam have uncovered the country's oldest radiocarbon-dated burials, earliest known stone structures and only known ancient urn cremation. Dating to the early 1400s, the discoveries provide new evidence of organised communities and burial traditions before European arrival.

Brown tree snakes invaded Guam after World War II, causing ecological damage. These snakes now exist in extremely high densities across the island. New research reveals thousands of hidden DNA changes in the snakes. This genetic flexibility helps them adapt to new environments and survive. The findings challenge previous understandings of invasive species and inbreeding.

Despite Trump's remarks, tensions remained high across the region. Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq reported drone attacks on Monday, suggesting that hostilities had not completely subsided despite the pause in the US bombing campaign. Washington halted its two-week air campaign against Iran on Saturday in a surprise policy shift by Trump after nearly five months of conflict. Iran said it had not abandoned diplomacy but denied reports that it had sought talks with Washington.
