CU Boulder-led study: Warming climate could expand Arctic ice slabs substantially by 2100, accelerating sea-level rise.

Guppies, a perennial pet store favorite, have helped a UC Riverside scientist unlock a key question about evolution:

Do animals evolve in response to the risk of being eaten, or to the environment that they create in the absence of predators? Turns out, it’s the latter. 

Better conservation and management of fish stocks is on the horizon, after the completion of the brown trout reference genome by scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators.

A new technique developed by University of Alberta biologists can determine whether certain fish populations are native to lakes in national parks.

SFU paleobotanist Rolf Mathewes and his collaborators have found evidence of human presence in Haida Gwaii dating to 13,000 years ago – roughly 2,200 years earlier than previously thought.

Paleontologists working on the world-renowned Burgess Shale have revealed a new species named Mollisonia plenovenatrix, which they describe as the oldest member of a group of animals called chelicerates.

A new tool from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) can predict the odds that honey bee colonies overwintered in cold storage will be large enough to rent for almond pollination in February. 

Wilderness areas, long known for intrinsic conservation value, are far more valuable for biodiversity than previously believed, and if conserved, will cut the world’s extinction risk in half, according to a new study published in the journal Nature.

Scientists say bolder actions to protect coral reefs from the effects of global warming will benefit all ecosystems, including those on land.

Texas has a long history of growing cotton. It’s a resilient crop, able to withstand big swings in temperature fairly well.
