A study in mice published in the journal Nature has analysed the different responses to aggression and the consequences for subsequent behaviour. In general, animals that confronted the aggressor developed greater resilience than those that fled or avoided the aggressor, and the gain was greater as brain circuits associated with dopamine were activated.
A study published in Science analyses the potential climate benefits of afforestation - both planting trees to create new forests and reforesting old ones - of the world's drylands. The authors show that the cooling effect of afforestation of this vast area would only amount to a decrease of about 1 % of projected greenhouse gas emissions in the business-as-usual and medium-emissions climate scenarios.
The weekend saw record temperatures in both the Arctic and Antarctica, up to 40°C above normal for this time of year.
