The Complex Fate of Antarctic Species in the Face of a Changing Climate
Oxygen concentrations in both the open ocean and coastal waters have declined by 2-5% since at least the middle of the 20th century.
Antioxidant Puts up Fight, but Loses Battle Against Toxic Protein Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease
New research may explain why an antioxidant that protects the brain is also associated with deterioration in areas susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease.
100-Year-Old Physics Model Replicates Modern Arctic Ice Melt
The Arctic is melting faster than we thought it would. In fact, Arctic ice extent is at a record low. When that happens—when a natural system behaves differently than scientists expect—it’s time to take another look at how we understand the system.
Bees Required to Create an Excellent Blueberry Crop
Getting an excellent rabbiteye blueberry harvest requires helpful pollinators—particularly native southeastern blueberry bees—although growers can bring in managed honey bees to do the job, according to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists.
Climate Change Threatens Commercial Fishers From Maine to North Carolina
