Study Identifies Best Policies for Achieving Sustainable Fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean

A group of scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Macquarie University, James Cook University, and the University of Queensland have completed a major study that will enable countries and communities of the Western Indian Ocean to evaluate and restore fish populations while simultaneously recognizing the most appropriate policies that will help to obtain global sustainable and conservation targets.

Coastal Wading Birds Use Tides and Moon Phases to Track Prey

Coastal wading birds shape their lives around the tides, and new research in The Auk: Ornithological Advances shows that different species respond differently to shifting patterns of high and low water according to their size and daily schedules, even following prey cycles tied to the phases of the moon.

Coral Reefs in Florida Keys Dissolving Faster Due to Ocean Acidification, Say UM Researchers

In a new study, University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science researchers found that the limestone that forms the foundation of coral reefs along the Florida Reef Tract is dissolving during the fall and winter months on many reefs in the Florida Keys. The research showed that the upper Florida Keys were the most impacted by the annual loss of reef.

Melaleuca Leaves Could Provide Crucial Insights into Climate Change

Synonymous with the Australian landscape, the paperbark tree is most recognised for its distinctive bark, but it is the leaves that have found themselves at the centre of research which could provide crucial insights into climate change.

Climate Change and Copper-Contaminated Wetlands Could Lead to Amphibian Extinction

According to a team of researchers from the University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, the disappearance of two amphibian species, which include the southern leopard frog and the southern toad, may be accelerated by the effects of copper-contaminated wetlands and climate change.

Study Explores Ecosystem-Specific Vulnerabilities to Atmospheric Nitrogen Pollution on Continental Scale

Rising levels of atmospheric nitrogen pollution threaten plant diversity at nearly one-quarter of sites across a widespread portion of the U.S., according a new study led by University of Colorado Boulder researchers.

Blowing Tiny Bubbles Through Seawater Could Help Protect Coral Reefs

Stanford scientists have discussed a way of dealing with neutralizing human activities that turn oceans acidic: blowing tiny bubbles. Blowing bubbles, they say, removes carbon dioxide (CO2) off coastal marine areas and transports it to the atmosphere, protecting coral reefs and oyster farms.

Calcifying Species can Dissolve During Night Due to More-Acidic Conditions Caused by Community Respiration

A new study, based on the most-extensive set of measurements ever made in tide pools, suggests that ocean acidification will increasingly put many marine organisms at risk by exacerbating normal changes in ocean chemistry that occur overnight. Conducted along California’s rocky coastline, the study from Carnegie’s Ken Caldeira and Lester Kwiatkowski shows that the most-vulnerable organisms are likely to be those with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons. It is published by Scientific Reports.
