30、ven though his train tickets came close to three times the price of the flights.Tyers is one of many climate scientists who are advocating less air travel and following their own advice.

31、rarily because nearly all conferences and meetings have switched to virtual models.But the carbon-footprint issue will remain in the long term. Once the pandemic is brought to control, scientists will again wrestle with how to balance the need to fly to meetings and fieldwork sites with their desire

39、le to change planes for trains when travelingDLike most birds, the great tit is (mostly) monogamous(一夫一妻的). Every winter pairs of the beautiful songbirds reunite for the upcoming breeding season and spend most of their time togethermarking out territory, building nests and even searching for food. T
40、he strength of their bond is obvious, but what would happen if the birds were forced to choose between love and food? To find out, University of Oxford zoologist Josh Firth and his colleagues arranged a set of feeders in a forest near the English countryside. Some of those feeders were set to open o
41、nly for birds that had been labelled with odd-numbered microchips; others allowed access only to those labelled with even numbers. Thus, pairs with matching assignments could open the same feeders and feast on sunflower seeds together. Mismatched couples, on the other hand, were forced to dine at di
42、fferent venues.Over the course of three months the researchers monitored 17 couples, including seven odd-plus-even pairs that could not eat at the same feeders. They found that birds from those mismatched pairs visited inaccessible feeders nearly four times as often as those from matched pairs, sugg
43、esting that mates were sticking together even if it meant one of them lost out on a meal. The results were published in December in Current Biology.Great tit couples may remain side by side even when one of them is hungry because they will need each other later on. “The pair bond is vital for great
44、tits,” Firth says. “Single parents cannot cope with the demands of raising young birds alone. Their only hope for success depends on having a supportive and reliable partner.”Andrew King, a behavioral ecologist at Swansea University in Wales, says that these findings mirror observations in a wide va
45、riety of animals, ranging from primates to fish. “Getting less food and searching for food with a friend may still be better than getting more food and searching for food alone,” he says.12. Some couples were given microchips with different kinds of numbers so that _.A. they had to stay in different
