‘Extinct’ for 150 years, an iconic Galápagos giant tortoise species lives

Representatives of a giant tortoise species that had apparently been driven to extinction by humans more than 150 years ago must be alive today, if in very small numbers. Researchers have come to this conclusion based on the “genetic footprints” of the long-lost species Chelonoidis elephantopus in the DNA of their hybrid sons and daughters.

Possible trigger for volcanic ‘super-eruptions’ discovered

The “super-eruption” of a major volcanic system occurs about every 100,000 years and is considered one of the most catastrophic natural events on Earth, yet scientists have long been unsure about what triggers these violent explosions. A new model points to a combination of temperature influence and the geometrical configuration of the magma chamber as a potential cause for these super-eruptions.
