Weather is supposed to be predictable, at least in theory: satellites watch every cloud, supercomputers crunch equations, and forecast models get updated almost by the minute. Yet, scattered across the sky and around the globe are phenomena that refuse to fit neatly into the equations, leaving even veteran atmospheric scientists muttering that they still ...
In recent years, researchers have observed an extraordinary phenomenon in two female smooth-hound sharks at Cala Gonone Aquarium in Italy: these sharks are reproducing asexually through a process called parthenogenesis. This rare reproductive strategy, often referred to as “virgin birth,” allows these sharks to produce offspring without the presence of a male, which has significant ...
