Sustained Planetwide Storms May Have Filled Lakes, Rivers on Ancient Mars
A new study from The University of Texas at Austin is helping scientists piece together the ancient climate of Mars by revealing how much rainfall and snowmelt filled its lake beds and river valleys 3.5 billion to 4 billion years ago.
Species Competition and Cooperation Influence Vulnerability to Climate Change
Organisms need to work together to adapt to climate change, especially in the presence of competitors, suggests a new study published today in eLife.
Native Hawaiian Tiger Cowries Eat Alien Invasive Species
Researchers at the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa’s Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) have just discovered that the Hawaiian tiger cowrie (Leho-kiko in Hawaiian) is a voracious predator of alien sponges such as the Orange Keyhole sponge, which can overgrow native corals and has become a concern as it spread across reefs within Kāneʻohe Bay.
