Tracking tropical turtles deep down to the seabed reveals their feeding habits

Tracking tropical turtles deep down to the seabed reveals their feeding habits

Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered, they are found in every ocean and are the most tropical of sea turtles. Adult hawksbills have long been considered to have a close association with shallow (less than 15 metres depth) seas where coral reefs thrive. But new research my colleagues and I conducted reveals for the first time that hawksbill turtles feed at reef sites much deeper than previously thought. Young hawksbills drift in currents during their pelagic (open water) phase of their development before they move to benthic (sea bed) habitats. Hawksbills are usually seen foraging in coral reefs where their diet...

The Holdovers review: Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti reunite with a charming and disarming tale

Due to his unpopularity, and not in any way due to his aptitude with young people, Hunham is left after the winter term with the ‘holdover’ students who are not going home for Christmas, and are instead stuck languishing at Barton. Hunham, given the disparaging nickname ‘Walleye’ by his pupils, has been urged by the headmaster to try and “act like a human being” for the holidays. His holding over colleague, school chef Mary (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), is likewise a sharp critic of his acerbic ways. Source link

‘I Refuse To Quit’: Nikki Haley Vows To Stay In GOP Race Against Donald Trump

Nikki Haley, the last candidate standing between Donald Trump and the Republican presidential nomination, doubled down on her commitment to stay in the race beyond the primary in her home state this weekend, amid the latest round of negative polling for her campaign and a scathing new memo from Trump’s advisers.“Some of you, perhaps a few of you in the media, came here today to see if I’m dropping out of the race. Well, I’m not... I refuse to quit,” Haley said in Greensboro, South Carolina, squashing speculation that she called a last-minute press conference to announce the end of...

Erling Haaland ‘proved critics wrong’ with Man City goal after ‘incredibly tough’ week

Erling Haaland ‘proved critics wrong’ with Man City goal after ‘incredibly tough’ week

Pep Guardiola believes Erling Haaland 'shut up' his critics with his match-winning goal for Manchester City against Brentford. City recorded 25 efforts on goal, with 11 on target against Brentford to follow 31 attempts against Chelsea on Saturday - of which nine fell Haaland's way without resulting in a goal. Haaland was more clinical against Brentford but from fewer chances, ending his run of four games in five without a goal, sprinting free and converting past Mark Flekken. Guardiola insisted there was nobody he would rather have had running past Kristoffer Ajer's unfortunate slip, before advising anyone criticising his performance...
