Conservation of fish and other marine life migrating from warming ocean waters will be more effective and also protect commercial fisheries if plans are made now to cope with climate change, according to a Rutgers-led study in the journal Science Advances.
In ecology, millions of species interact in billions of different ways between them and with their environment. Ecosystems often seem chaotic, or at least overwhelming for someone trying to understand them and make predictions for the future.
Biologists from the University of Victoria have identified how a few coral species have been able to survive a worldwide unprecedented heatwave, as part of the first study to offer new hope for the long-term persistence of coral reefs in the face of climate change.
According to research from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), headed by Almut Arneth, a significant number of present and proposed post-2020 biodiversity targets of international organizations are vulnerable due to climate change, even if other obstacles like habitat exploitation are eliminated.
Over the past several decades, marine protected areas (MPAs) have emerged as a favored conservation tool. By protecting marine species and safeguarding habitat, these reserves help buffer ecosystems against natural and human-made shocks alike.
Plants competing for sunlight—stretching upward and outward to block each other’s exposure to the rays of the sun—is a usual sight. However, there is another competition occurring underground, unobserved.
The development of Marine-derived Biopolymer Materials at Flinders University to help solve global plastics problems has taken the innovative step of inviting artists work with research scientists in identifying the widest possible applications for the new materials.
In the last few decades, groundwater reservoirs in Bavaria have heated up significantly. Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) have now compared temperatures at 35 measuring stations, taken at various depths, with the 1990s data.
All over the world, coral health has been threatened by human activity. A new algal danger is leveraging coral’s already perilous condition in the Caribbean and rendering it more difficult for reef ecosystems to thrive.
Methane, the main component of natural gas, is the cleanest-burning of all the fossil fuels, but when emitted into the atmosphere it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
