New Findings Reveal Major Northward Expansion of Marine Mammal Exposure to Toxins

Toxins from harmful algae are present in Alaskan marine food webs in high enough concentrations to be detected in marine mammals such as whales, walruses, sea lions, seals, porpoises and sea otters, according to new research from NOAA and its federal, state, local and academic partners.

Carbon Stored Deep Under UK’s Grasslands Help Curb Climate Change

A nationwide survey by ecologists has revealed that over 2 billion US tons of carbon is stored deep under the UK’s grasslands, helping to curb climate change.

WSU Biologist Finds Genetic Mechanism that Enables Fish to Live in Toxic and Acidic Water

A Washington State University biologist has found the genetic mechanism that lets a fish live in toxic, acidic water. The discovery opens new insights into the functioning of other “extremophiles” and how they adapt to their challenging environments.

Researchers Produce Sustainable Regional Planning to Save Endangered Forest Animals in Africa

Since about 25 years, animal species in West and Central Africa are no longer being hunted solely for the purpose of local self-sufficiency, but increasingly also for sale in urban areas several hundred kilometres away. As a consequence, many populations have dramatically decreased or already disappeared altogether. A team of European researchers led by Goethe University Frankfurt has now predicted hunting pressure for the Congo Basin and produced a detailed map, which could help in regional planning.

Dartmouth College-led Study Shows How Frost Induced by Climate Change Affects Early Plant Reproduction

Climate change may harm early-flowering plants not through plant-pollinator mismatch but through frost damage, a Dartmouth College-led study shows.

NIOO-led Researchers Highlight Effects of Pharmaceutical Residues on Aquatic Environment

It's a hidden global change: away from the public eye, residues of medicines in water have been causing increasing disruption. They can kill aquatic animals, and play havoc with their food web and reproductive cycle.

Impact of Mixotrophic Lifestyle on Ocean’s Carbon Storage

How do you find your food? Most animal species, whether they rummage through a refrigerator or stalk prey in the wild, obtain nutrients by consuming living organisms. Plants, for the most part, adopt a different feeding, or “trophic,” strategy, making their own food through photosynthesis.

Researchers Explore Impact of Heavy Weather Events on Watershed Ecology

A new Yale-led study offers a new conceptual framework for understanding the biogeochemistry of watersheds. The framework combines hydrologic and biogeochemical theory to test well established concepts in watershed ecology.
