Researchers reporting in PLOS One found only 6% of stream length in the lower 48 both healthy and meaningfully protected. Their map is meant to show where conservation money would do the most good as the climate warms.
Reality
Nepal police warned Dhunge Bazaar by loudspeaker about five minutes before the August 26 debris flow that killed at least 1,400 people struck the town. One scientist calls the avalanche likely impossible to forecast, so the time to win back is the 38 minutes before the water came, and 33 of them had passed before the warning.
Reality
Science News puts one town's 87 percent water cut beside a national heat record, and the case for treating that cut as the new baseline rests on a Southwest megadrought that has already run for decades.
Reality
Kearny, Arizona, draws from the Gila River, and its own river commissioner made this cut. The federal Colorado River reductions that dominate Southwest water policy do not govern what the town of 2,000 receives.
Reality
At a Sierra Nevada field station, feeders that open for a single banded bird have tested up to 250 mountain chickadees a winter since 2013, which lets a memory score be matched against which birds actually survive.
Reality
Reporting from the June meeting of the Electrostatics Society of America says the field's own findings make earlier static research look unreliable. The note names no variable and no magnitude.
Reality
Researchers report in Cell Reports that leafminer damage recruits root bacteria, which make later cowpeas emit a wasp attractant. How long the soil holds it is unmeasured.
Reality
Low-intensity sound wave treatment for erectile dysfunction is sold session by session in cash-pay clinics. Cochrane reviewed 21 studies and found the results too variable to trust.
