Summer Tick Season Is Here: How to Prevent Tick Bites and What to Do

Summer Tick Season Is Here: How to Prevent Tick Bites and What to Do If it feels like tick season starts earlier every year and lasts longer than it used to, you are not imagining it. Across North America, experts are warning that ticks are becoming more active as temperatures rise, winters stay milder and outdoor exposure increases. That does not mean a dramatic movie-style invasion is suddenly sweeping the whole continent, but it does mean that in many regions, the risk of tick bites is becoming harder to ignore. Ticks are most active when conditions are warm enough for them to leave the ground cover and begin searching for a host. Public health guidance in both the United States and Canada highlights spring through early fall as the key risk period, though ticks can remain active outside that window when temperatures stay above freezing. That is why more people are being told to think about tick protection much earlier in the year and not only in the middle of summer In North Ame...

Small Fish, Huge Mind: The Marine Fish That Shocked Scientists With Signs of Self-Awareness

Small Fish, Huge Mind: The Marine Fish That Shocked Scientists With Signs of Self-Awareness For a long time, the mirror test was treated like one of the most exclusive clubs in animal science. If an animal could recognize itself in a mirror, researchers often took that as a major sign of self-awareness. Great apes made the list. So did elephants, dolphins, and magpies in some experiments. Fish were never supposed to belong in that conversation. Then along came the cleaner wrasse, a small reef fish that has spent the last few years making scientists question everything they thought they knew about intelligence. The cleaner wrasse first caused a sensation in 2018, when researchers reported that it appeared to pass the mirror test. The result was explosive, but also controversial. Many scientists were skeptical because fish brains are very different from mammal brains, and because the mirror test itself has always been debated. Critics argued that unusual behavior around mirrors does no...
