It said all the blazes were extinguished and there were no casualties. "Some of the participants in the terrorist attacks have been detained," it added.
The scientific study took place in the summer of 2023, when temperatures shot up in the oceans, leading to large swathes of coral turning white.The scientists took multiple measurements of individual clownfish coping with the heat.
They found the tiny fish didn't just lose weight but got shorter by several millimetres. And it wasn't a one-off - 75% of fish shrunk at least once during the heatwave.Dr Rueger explained: "It's not just them going on a diet and losing lots of weight, but they're actively changing their size and making themselves into a smaller individual that needs less food and is more efficient with oxygen."The fish may be absorbing fat and bone, as has been seen in other animals, such as marine iguanas, although this needs to be confirmed through laboratory studies.
Dr Rueger joked that a little bit of movie rewriting might be necessary, with a new chapter ahead for Nemo."The movie told a really good story, but the next chapter of the story surely is, how does Nemo deal with ongoing environmental change?" she told BBC News.
Global warming is a big challenge for warm-blooded animals, which must maintain a constant body temperature to prevent their bodies from overheating.
Animals are responding in various ways: moving to cooler areas or higher ground, changing the timing of key life events such as breeding and migration, or switching their body size.But the number of thefts recorded by retailers themselves is even higher. Figures from the British Retail Consortium
in the year to last September, up 3.7 million on the year before, costing retailers £2bn."We have recently installed a new system at some stores which helps customers using self-service checkouts identify if an item has not been scanned properly, making the checkout process quicker and easier," a Tesco spokesperson said.
The supermarket did not say which stores or how many stores the new system was in.If an item fails to scan, customers are shown a video on the self-service screen of their attempt, accompanied by a message saying: "The last item wasn't scanned properly. Remove from bagging area and try again."
