Along the three coasts of the contiguous United States, a silent race unfolds. Fueled by climate change, sea levels rise faster than at any time in recent geologic history. Meanwhile, coastal wetlands cling to a slim lead, ...
An international study led by Curtin University has put to bed a scientific debate dating back 176 years, confirming that two historically significant oyster species from Western Australia and Fiji are distinct species.
New York University researchers have pinpointed the molecular players responsible for plants "feeling full" once they've taken up enough nitrogen—a finding that could help scientists develop plants that absorb more nitrogen ...
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are attracting growing attention as a sustainable aquaculture technology that can reduce water use, control rearing conditions and lower environmental impacts by filtering and reusing ...
Much like caviar, shark fins are a luxury product and delicacy in parts of the world. And like wild caviar, demand for shark fins has posed an incredible threat to species that can't reproduce quickly enough to keep up.
Along the Gulf Coast, black skimmers have long been a familiar sight—gliding just above the water with their bright orange beaks slicing through the surface to feed.
Conservation projects often focus on protecting a threatened species from predators and habitat destruction. But as our research shows, restoring food webs can be as important to supporting ongoing recovery.
Researchers from the University of Plymouth have led the production of a new report highlighting the impact of climate change on marine plankton and pelagic habitats in U.K. waters. Published by the Marine Climate Change ...
Unlike humans, plants cannot make simple lifestyle adjustments to adapt to changing environments. When exposed to conditions like extreme heat or water scarcity, instead of putting on sweaters or turning on air conditioners, ...
Research involving the UAB and CREAF has examined the factors that help forests maintain stable productivity over time and concluded that water and biodiversity are key determinants.
