Q&A: Evolution may reshape how urban forests, wetlands and reefs protect cities

Over the past decade, cities around the world have increasingly turned to nature-based infrastructure to become more resilient in the face of a changing climate. Urban forests provide shade during heat waves and improve air quality; wetlands filter stormwater and reduce flooding; and restored oyster reefs filter water, create habitat and reduce wave energy along shorelines. When carefully designed and managed, these "nature-based solutions" can support climate adaptation, biodiversity and public health.

The silent killer behind sudden heart attacks: Why looking healthy no longer guarantees a healthy heart

A person who goes to the gym regularly, eats salads, avoids sugar, and looks perfectly fit does not usually fit the image of a heart patient. Butt hospitals across the world are seeing a worrying pattern. Young professionals, marathon runners, slim office-goers, and seemingly healthy adults are arriving in emergency rooms with sudden heart attacks. In many of these cases, one hidden condition sits in the background: hypertension.High blood pressure is called the “silent killer” because it rarely announces itself with loud symptoms. There is no fever, no obvious pain, and often no visible warning sign. But inside the body, the pressure slowly damages blood vessels, strains the heart, and increases the risk of stroke, kidney disease, and sudden cardiac events. According to the World Health Organization’s hypertension report, nearly 1.4 billion adults globally live with hypertension, and many do not even know they have it.

The 'silent' invasion of a widespread freshwater jellyfish across Europe

A new study published in the journal People and Nature reveals a significant gap in public awareness regarding one of the world's most widespread invasive species: the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii. Despite being present on six continents and well-documented by scientists in Europe, this unnoticed (cryptic meaning "under the radar") invader remains largely unknown to the public, a factor that researchers say may be hindering the development of early warning systems and effective environmental policy.
