Climate Change and Extreme Weather Will Have Complex Effects on Disease Transmission
Temperature fluctuations such as heatwaves can have very different effects on infection rates and disease outcomes depending on the average background temperature, says a report published today in eLife.
Sediment Cores From Ocean Floor Could Contain 23-Million-Year-Old Climate Change Clues
Sediment cores taken from the Southern Ocean dating back 23 million years are providing insight into how ancient methane escaping from the seafloor could have led to regional or global climate and environmental changes, according to a study from two Texas A&M University researchers.
Breakthrough in Converting CO2 Into Fuel Using Solar Energy
A research team led by Lund University in Sweden has shown how solar power can convert carbon dioxide into fuel, by using advanced materials and ultra-fast laser spectroscopy.
Antibiotic Used on Fod Crops Affects Bumblebee Behavior, Lab Study Finds
An antibiotic sprayed on orchard crops to combat bacterial diseases slows the cognition of bumblebees and reduces their foraging efficiency, a laboratory study finds. Proceedings of the Royal Society B published the findings by scientists at Emory University and the University of Washington.
