Vegetarian dinosaurs

have evolved different ways of eating plants. Much is already known about how different dinosaurs consumed their food, but relatively little is understood about how they evolved their preferred eating styles.

Senior author and palaeontologist at the Museum Professor Paul Barrett confirmed: “If you want to understand how dinosaurs diversified into so many different types so effectively, it’s critical to learn how they evolved to feed on such a wide variety of vegetation in so many different ways.”

A NEW study has found that ethnic segregation in England and Wales is at its lowest rate ever according to data collected in the 2021 census.

The data released on Tuesday, January 17 suggested that there are more people from different ethnic backgrounds living next door to each other than ever before. Study author, Dr Gemma Catney says that the research contradicts the common notions of ‘difference’ and ‘division’ in society.

Researchers on the study used data on ethnic diversity which shows how many people from different ethnic groups are living in each area as well as residential segregation data which shows the likelihood of different ethnic groups living next to each other or in the same area.

The ethnicity data collected in the 2021 census was released in November 2022 and showed some of the results from the nationwide survey which was answered by more than 24 million households.

Researchers say the news shows that the UK is becoming more tolerant.

BRITISH children paid a touching tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in a survey conducted by Oxford University Press to find the ‘Word of the Year’ for 2022.

The results of the survey were published on Tuesday, January 17, with the most popular word chosen by British children being ‘Queen’. The vote saw 4,000 children between age six and 14 from across the UK share their thoughts on a word to represent the last year.

When asked about the word ‘Queen’ children associated it with feelings of pride as well as sadness and loss for the country’s longest reigning monarch, who passed away in September after more than 70 years on the throne.

Oxford University Press also revealed that Queen Elizabeth II was a popular choice in separate surveys about the country’s most famous people completed in recent years, so the 2022 ‘Word of the Year’ being ‘Queen’ came as no surprise, particularly as children reflect on her legacy.

The words ‘happy’ and ‘chaos’ followed in the top positions of this year’s survey.
