Wolves’ return has had only small impact on deer populations in NE Washington, study shows
University of Washington

A new study shows that wolves in Washington state are not having much of an impact on white-tailed deer, one of their primary prey. In a paper published June 18, scientists report that the biggest factor shaping white-tailed deer populations in northeast Washington is the quality of habitat available. Cougars were second in their impact. Wolves were a distant third.

Prenatal ozone: a silent culprit in the battle against childhood obesity
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Prenatal exposure to ozone is increasingly recognized as a potential risk factor for childhood obesity, with significant implications for public health. A new study investigates the association between ozone levels during pregnancy and the growth trajectories of children, offering insights into the early-life origins of obesity. The research found that a 10 μg/m³ increase in ozone concentration during pregnancy significantly raises BMI, weight-for-age, and weight-for-length Z scores in children. This exposure is linked to accelerated BMI gain and higher obesity risk in early childhood, highlighting the urgent need to address air quality to protect children's health.

A simple firmware update completely hides a device’s Bluetooth fingerprint
University of California San Diego

A smartphone's unique Bluetooth fingerprint could be used to track the device's user--until now. A team of researchers have developed a simple firmware update that can completely hide the Bluetooth fingerprint, eliminating the vulnerability. The method was developed by a team of researchers at the University of California San Diego.
