Bee farmers in Jamaica are growing increasingly concerned about the impact of the invasive Cuban tree frog on their hives. Scientifically known as Osteopilus septentrionalis, the Cuban tree frog is native to Cuba, The Bahamas and the Cayman Islands. The invasive frog is believed to have been brought to Jamaica approximately six years ago. Bee farmers in several parishes have reported frequent sightings of the frog near their hives, where it preys on weaker colonies, potentially leading to significant losses during critical periods. Clarendon bee farmer Sheldon Lewin is among those concerned. “I am seeing them more frequently in the May Pen area, so I am a little bit worried that they are targeting specific hives there and I may lose population at the opportune for them to produce, but I don’t even know what to do,” Lewin told The Sunday Gleaner. “They are always underneath the hives or covers...

Parecen fragmentos muy pequeños de minerales, del tamaño de aproximadamente un milímetro, pero en realidad son siete embriones fósiles, que cuentan la vida en la Tierra hace más de 500 millones de años: encontrados hace varias décadas en la Formación Kuanchuanpu en China, un yacimiento rico en fósiles microscópicos, ahora han sido identificados y analizados gracias al estudio dirigido por la Universidad china de Chang’an.    Acaba de ser publicado en la revista Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology.    Sin embargo, siguen siendo un misterio los animales en los que se habrían desarrollado estos embriones.    Algunos indicios provienen de otros fósiles de un organismo, esta vez adulto, que parece tener características similares, con un cuerpo redondeado dotado de una boca gigante.    Los investigadores dirigidos por Mingjin Liu descubrieron que los tejidos una vez blandos que constituían los embriones fueron reemplazados por minerales de fosfato de calcio, que preservaron la estructura tridimensional de los organismos...

The first congestion charge scheme for vehicles in the US has come into effect in New York. Car drivers will pay up to $9 (£7) a day, with varying rates for other vehicles. The congestion zone covers an area south of central park, taking in well known sites such as the Empire State Building, Times Square and the financial district around Wall Street The scheme aims to ease New York’s notorious traffic problems and raise billions for the public transport network, but has faced resistance, including from famous New Yorker and President-elect Donald Trump. New York state Governor Kathy Hochul made the case for a congestion charge two years ago, but it was delayed and revised following complaints from some commuters and businesses. The new plan revives one scheme that she paused in June, saying there were “too many unintended consequences for New Yorkers”. Most drivers will be charged $9...

8 Happy New Year! I wish the Barbados TODAY team, loyal readers and all of Barbados a safe, productive and fulfilling 2025, as all of us strive to make our lives and our nation live up to the potential sacrificed for and provided by our forefathers. The new school term will start next week, and, as I pondered the pain of the return to that rush-hour traffic (if only we had adequate public transport for school children), it occurred to me that, similar to New Year’s resolutions for our personal lives, it is equally important to consider a New Year ‘Wish List’ for our education system and the flesh-and-blood children who spend their lives from ages three to 18 in that system. I started such a wish list: Grantley Adams Memorial School students returning to in-person education, immediate: enhanced proactive communication with the public; enhanced quality assurance in exam papers...

“Es increíble la ofensiva mediática, incluidas noticias falsas, manipulaciones, falsos expertos en temas, voceros sin credibilidad, organizaciones de sociedad civil de mampara y usar medios en terceros países”, así ha reaccionado el canciller Enrique Reina ante el último reporte de InSight Crime donde afirma que el exdiputado Carlos Zelaya habría “huido” a Nicaragua. Para ese artículo, el portal InSight Crime, citó un reporte de Diario El Heraldo de Grupo OPSA con fecha del 25 de septiembre de 2024 citando a un supuesto activista de pueblos indígenas del oriente que “denunció” el viaje de Zelaya. Redacción Central / EL LIBERTADOR Tegucigalpa.
