news Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed; phylogenetic modelling with imputed traits
A PLOS Biology study finds 80% of 51 recently extinct hooved mammals were likely migratory, versus 46% of living ones, but the model result depends on fossils.
news Earth Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Hindcast evaluation plus one real-time competition year
Nature study: probabilistic bias correction doubles ECMWF's AI model's week 3 to 4 forecast skill, from 0.03 to about 0.06. What that does and does not mean.

A Nature reassessment of 892 reef corals puts 340 of 774 assessed species (44%) in a threatened category. Data end in 2020; risk now is likely higher.
news Earth Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Palaeoclimate proxy data
Weighting 27 climate models by 6,000-year-old seabed sea ice clues suggests March Arctic ice may be nearly 1 million km² below the plain model average.
news Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Lab aquarium study
In aquarium tests, all 5 bleached coral fragments touching a healthy clone recovered; the 5 held a few millimetres apart did not. A small lab study, not a reef fix.
