New Model Predicts How Geographic Features Influence Evolutionary Outcomes
Biologists have developed a new method to measure the extent to which regional geographic features — including barriers between regions, like mountains or water — affect local rates of speciation, extinction and dispersal for species.
Reconstructing Sea-Level Rises in the Red Sea
A study of the relative contributions of surface winds and atmospheric pressure on sea-level rises in the Red Sea has shown that wind variations over the southern part of the sea are the main drivers of basin-wide sea-level extremes, uniformly driving sea levels up and down depending on wind direction.
Collaborative RIPE Team Prove Leaf Width-Biomass Correlations in Cowpea
In a collaboration between RIPE researchers and cowpea breeders from Ahmadu Bello University, and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, the width of cowpea leaves was found to correlate with above-ground biomass across diverse germplasm and environmental conditions.
Salt Marsh Grass On Georgia’s Coast Gets Nutrients for Growth From Helpful Bacteria in Its Roots
Salt marshes cover much of the state of Georgia’s coast and perform key "ecosystem services” for people.
Nature Study: Ocean Life May Adapt to Climate Change, But With Hidden Costs
Suppose that we could watch twenty generations of whales or sharks adapting to climate change—measuring how they evolve and how their biology changes as temperatures and carbon dioxide levels rise.
