Scientists shed light on the diet and lifestyles of the super-lean. An international team of scientists led by the 51cg and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have for the first time identified what separates heathy underweight people, also known as 'super-lean', from the rest of us.

A study that analysed the diet of red foxes in the Scottish Highlands has found that dog faeces are a significant part of their diet, the first time that such a connection has been detected anywhere in the world.

Animals are more likely to mate in warmer environments, a study analysing the impact of climate change on reproductive behaviour has found.
