Core:
New instruments may speed up the search for ET.
Excerpt:
This paucity of data will soon change. A variety of telescopes and spacecraft are, or soon will be, looking for signs of life in places ranging from the moons and planets of the solar system to other stars in Earth’s corner of the Milky Way.
That conclusion could upend humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe
Still, the sheer distances involved mean that there would be few immediate, practical consequences.

core: Avian species can develop preferences for palatable food through social learning.
Excerpt:
Even when demonstrator hens reacted with obvious disgust to a specific food, via vigorous head shaking and bill wiping, there was no evidence that observers subsequently avoided eating that food.
Sherwin's research team speculated that ecological or social constraints during the evolution of this species might have resulted in there being little benefit from the social learning of unpalatability, for instance, selective pressures for this mode of learning would be reduced if the birds rarely encountered noxious of toxic food or rarely interacted after eating such food, or if the consequences of ingestion were minimal.
words:
palatable: 美味的,可口的
