The increasing acidification of ocean waters caused by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could rob sharks of their ability to sense the smell of food, a new study suggests.
Biodiversity Research Institute’s (BRI’s) Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation and the Wildlife Conservation Society’s (WCS’s) Adirondack Program announced today that three new articles summarizing research on Adirondack loons have been published in a special issue of the journal Waterbirds that is dedicated to loon research and conservation in North America.
Restoring oysters—and their ability to filter large volumes of water—is widely seen as a key way to improve the health of Chesapeake Bay. New research makes this calculus even more appealing, showing that the mussels that typically colonize the nooks and crannies of a restored oyster reef can more than double its overall filtration capacity.
If Americans altered their menus to conform to federal dietary recommendations, emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases tied to agricultural production could increase significantly, according to a new study by University of Michigan researchers.
Wetlands may be the least understood ecosystem, but their value is immense, according to Distinguished Professor W. Carter Johnson of the South Dakota State University Department of Natural Resource Management. “Anything that affects them will have a big impact on the landscape.”
A new study calls into question the evolutionary stability of an ecological explanation of biodiversity.
Non-native invasive plants have overrun some parts of the Galapagos Islands, finds a new study by The University of Western Australia. Mandy Trueman, a PhD researcher at UWA School of Plant Biology, has led the study and has delivered a map and a related database that provides information about native species as well as introduced species.
Researchers from different universities studied the potential health and economic benefits of plans proposed on the control of air pollution in over-polluted regions of China. According to them, the costs related to the fatality and disability caused by air pollution came down by 50% in Taiyuan, China’s Shanxi Province capital between 2001 and 2010. The result of the study is published online in the Environment International journal.
A Commission led by Ohio State University Professor, William Martin and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Professor, Stephen Gordon, studied the health effects of indoor air pollution. The study, published in the journal - The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, estimated that solid fuels like coal, charcoal or wood are being used for heating, cooking and lighting purposes by one-third of the human population, globally.
Tufts University’s Charles C. Chester, Wildlife Conservation Society’s Jodi A. Hilty and World Commission on Protected Areas/IUCN’s Lawrence S. Hamilton have together published a new paper on conservation, climate change and connectivity in mountain regions. This study has been published in the Journal of Mountain Ecology.
