A new giant long-necked dinosaur, Dasosaurus tocantinensis, unearthed in Brazil, reveals ancient land connections. Its close evolutionary ties to a Spanish species suggest dinosaurs migrated between continents before the Atlantic Ocean fully formed. This finding offers compelling biological evidence for prehistoric land bridges linking South America, Africa, and Europe, reshaping our understanding of dinosaur dispersal.

Scientists from the Zoological Survey of India have discovered two new species of lichen moths, Caulocerahollowayi and Asura buxa, in Sikkim and West Bengal. This significant finding, published in Zootaxa, also includes seven new lichen species and underscores the importance of taxonomic research in India's biodiversity hotspots. These moths are vital indicators of air pollution.

India's space agency Isro and AIIMS have joined forces to research space medicine, crucial for upcoming long-duration missions like the Bharatiya Antariksh Station and lunar expeditions. This collaboration will investigate the human body's response to microgravity, focusing on muscle and bone health, immunity, and psychological well-being to ensure astronaut safety and develop vital medical countermeasures.
