SCIENCE MAGAZINE: The latest issue features ‘Biotic Bridge’ – Mexican “holding pen” shaped asymmetrical mammal migrations….

A 10-million-year biogeographic holding pen primed the Great American Biotic Interchange

For millions of years after the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, South America was disconnected from other landforms, a time period that has been referred to as its “splendid isolation.” This isolation allowed for the evolution of mammals with distinctive features, including xenarthrans, sprassodont carnivores, and notoungulates. The formation of the Panamanian land bridge facilitated connection of North and South American faunas, with a bias from north to south. Tseng et al. looked at fossils from low latitudes in México and found that northern mammals accumulated in the region before the connection (see the Perspective by McGuire and Williams). This allowed for more rapid dispersal south and further supports that the land bridge first formed during the Pliocene rather than the Miocene.

THE GUARDIAN WEEKLY —- JULY 31, 2026 PREVIEW

THE GUARDIAN WEEKLY: The latest issue features ‘Bugs in the System’ – How India’s Cockroach Movement Undermined Modi….

The news agenda has been so dominated for many months by a few big stories about perennial global hotspots and the biggest figures on the international stage, that one could accuse journalists of missing what was happening outside the US, Middle East or Ukraine. But as our south-east Asia correspondent, Hannah Ellis-Petersen, explains for this week’s big story, the rapid rise and sudden explosion on to the streets of India’s Cockroach Janta party took everyone – especially Narendra Modi’s government – by surprise.

What began as a satirical protest when the chief justice of India compared the country’s unemployed youth to cockroaches has damaged prime minister Modi’s image as a “strongman” leader and loosened his grip over the media. But as Hannah explains, it’s not just that the joke has “legs” and strong visuals; young people want a viable future and change.
