How Climate Change Disrupts Relationships
Higher mean temperatures as associated with climate change can have a severe impact on plants and animals by disrupting their mutually beneficial relationship: The pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris), for example, is very sensitive to rising temperatures by flowering earlier each year, whereas one of its major pollinators, a solitary bee species, does not quite keep pace by hatching earlier.

Screen Time No Child’s Play
Experts are urging parents to brush up on national guidelines following a rapid rise in screen time on electronic devices for children under two.
