Wolverine Protection Is subject of Lawsuit The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service In October decided to withhold Endangered Species Act designation of the American Wolverine. That decision has caused a group of at least 10 conservation organizations to file a suit objecting to that ruling. A lawsuit was filed in Missoula this month requesting protection for the wolverine. Earthjustice is representing the group in the courts. In a news release. Jonathan Proctor of Defenders of Wildlife said, "We hav...

New evidence indicates the spread of COVID-19 is sensitive to UV exposure, researchers report. While this suggests that COVID-19 may vary with the seasons, there are other seasonal factors—such as temperature, specific humidity, and precipitation—whose effects are uncertain given the available data. “Related species of coronavirus—like SARS from 2003 and MERS from 2012—turned out to have weak relationships with temperature and humidity, but were sensitive to UV radiation,” says Kyle...

Covid-19 spread linked to variations in UV levels: Study New York– Natural variations in ultraviolet radiation (UV) influence the spread of Covid-19, but the influence is modest compared to preventive measures such as physical distancing, mask-wearing, and quarantine, say researchers. “Understanding the potential seasonality of Covid-19 transmission could help inform our response to the pandemic in the coming months,” said study author Jonathan Proctor from the Harvard University in the U...

Decrease in UV level could speed up Covid-19 spread: Study Decrease in UV level could speed up Covid-19 spread: Study A decrease in natural UV radiation level could increase the speed at which the novel coronavirus spreads, according to a new study. advertisement UPDATED: December 17, 2020 15:54 IST Researchers have stumbled upon some evidence which suggests that UV could play a role in speed of Covid-19 infections. (Photo: Reuters) A new study has indicated that natural variations in ultraviol...

BOSTON: Natural variations in ultraviolet radiation influences the spread of the novel coronavirus, says a new study which adds that the effect is still modest compared to that of measures like physical distancing, and mask wearing. The findings, published in the journal PNAS, suggests that the incidence of Covid-19 may have a seasonal pattern in which the virus spreads faster in the winter when its darker with lower levels of UV radiation than during summer. "Understanding the potential seas...
