Cryptic sense of orientation of bats localised - sixth sense of mammals lies in eye

Date Time Cryptic sense of orientation of bats localised – sixth sense of mammals lies in eye Mammals see with their eyes, hear with their ears and smell with their nose. But which sense or organ allows them to orient themselves on their migrations, which sometimes go far beyond their local foraging areas and therefore require an extended ability to navigate? Nathusius’ Bat, Rauhautfledermaus, Pipistrellus nathusii | FPhto: Oliver Lindecke Scientific experiments led by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW), published together with Prof. Richard A. Holland (Bangor University, UK) and Dr. Gunārs Pētersons (Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies) now show that the cornea of the eyes is the location of such an important sense in migrating bats. If the cornea is anaesthetised, the otherwise reliable sense of orientation is disturbed while light detection remains unimpaired. The experiment suggests the localisation of a magnetic sense in m

Future consortium stuck in red tape, say universities

Future consortium stuck in red tape, say universities The Saeima (parliament) of Latvia has allegedly slowed down the creation of a consortium of three regional universities, which decided to form an association last year to use resources more effectively and to avoid losing status. However, currently there is no definition of consortium in the law on higher education, and this is a problem, reports Paula Devica for the Latvian Public Broadcaster. In the summer of last year, a memorandum of cooperation on the creation of a consortium of three regional universities – Liepaja University, Daugavpils University and Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies – was signed. It could also be called a university association, which would set up a joint doctoral school, share new study programmes and cooperate within existing programmes.

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what s clicking on Foxnews.com. Cats can do more than catch mice, nap seemingly endlessly and wake you up before your alarm in the morning – they can also recover from COVID-19 more quickly than humans, according to scientific researchers in Latvia. Samples tested by veterinary medicine faculty at the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies showed several cats possessed COVID-19 antibodies, even though a cat has not yet tested positive for the virus in the Baltic country, Latvian Public Broadcasting reported. The researchers have tested samples from more than 130 cats, including animals in shelters and pets from households where people have been infected with COVID-19, according to the report.
