A newly discovered bacterium, Uabimicrobium helgolandensis, eats other bacteria and is a kind of 'bacteria of prey,' that should not even exist based on previous concepts about microbial cells. It could be a kind of microbial missing link, researchers suggest.

Facts about scientific consensus increase climate change acceptance
Telling non-scientists about how many scientists agree on climate change - their consensus - may help strengthen their beliefs.Ellen Phiddian (Cosmos Magazine)
Forest loss intensifies climate change by increasing temperatures and cloud level, which leads to decrease of water
Researchers report that deforestation during the last two decades induced a higher warming and cloud level rise than that caused by climate change, which threatens biodiversity and water supply in African montane forests.ScienceDaily
Have you ever thought about questionable research practices (QRPs) in academia?
The Retraction Watch team have highlighted this new paper in PLoSOne that has a systematic analysis. The authors identify 25 QRPs and then survey a lot of academics.
The results are interesting, widespread use of QRPs, sort of a grey area of acedemic behaviour, with some explanatory factors.
I'm bookmarking this for future use.

Is something rotten in the state of Denmark? Cross-national evidence for widespread involvement but not systematic use of questionable research practices across all fields of research
Questionable research practices (QRP) are believed to be widespread, but empirical assessments are generally restricted to a few types of practices.journals.plos.org
