Farmed Oysters Show Resilience to Ocean Acidification
Scientists have discovered that unlike wild oysters, farmed oysters bred for fast growth and disease resistance are able to adapt their shell growth to be more resilient to ocean acidification, according to a new study published in the journal Global Change Biology.
Multifactor Models Reveal Worse Picture of Climate Change Impact on Marine Life
Rising ocean temperatures have long been linked to negative impacts for marine life, but a Florida State University team has found that the long-term outlook for many marine species is much more complex — and possibly bleaker — than scientists previously believed.
Global Tourism Vulnerable to Climate Change
Climate change will have widespread consequences on the future of tourism, a new study from the University of Waterloo has found.
Skin Cells Turned to Heart Cells Help Unravel Genetic Underpinnings of Cardiac Function
Genome-wide association studies have uncovered more than 500 genetic variants linked to heart function, everything from heart rate to irregular rhythms that can lead to stroke, heart failure or other complications.
