A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks

Clearcutting is often considered negative for biodiversity, which is why continuous cover forestry is seen as a more favourable alternative. But could it be that clearcutting - with proper management from a landscape perspective - could favour certain species? Recently, it has become increasingly common to find birds and butterflies on clearcuts, species that normally thrive in areas such as hayfi
