Even Resilient Common Species Are Not Immune to Environmental Crisis
A recent study by scientists from NUS revealed that the current biodiversity crisis may be much broader than widely assumed, and may affect even species thought to be common and tolerant of fragmentation and habitat loss.
Bird Migration Timing Skewed by Climate, New Research Finds
Life cycles for birds, insects and trees are shifting in this current era of a rapidly changing climate. How migration patterns, in particular, are changing and whether birds can track climate change is an open question.
Surge in Global Methane Emissions Traced Back to East African Wetland
Scientists believe they have found one of the key drivers behind a spike in global methane emissions in recent years.
Tiny Shells Reveal Waters Off California Acidifying Twice as Fast as the Global Ocean
In first-of-its-kind research, NOAA scientists and academic partners used 100 years of microscopic shells to show that the coastal waters off California are acidifying twice as fast as the global ocean average — with the seafood supply in the crosshairs.
Filtered Coffee Helps Prevent Type 2 Diabetes, Show Biomarkers in Blood Samples
Coffee can help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes – but only filtered coffee, rather than boiled coffee. New research from Chalmers University of Technology and Umeå University, both in Sweden, show that the choice of preparation method influences the health effects of coffee.
