Social media can help scientists track animal species as they relocate in response to climate change, new research shows.

More than five years after a landmark study in the journal Science showed that North American bird populations declined by nearly 30% since 1970, a new report finds that the concerning trend is continuing apace.

A first-of-its-kind study led by William & Mary’s Batten School & VIMS is predicting estuaries along the East Coast of the U.S. will experience marine heat wave conditions up to a third of the year by the end of the century. 

“Forests are among the most important ecosystems in nature, constantly evolving, yet their monitoring is often delayed,” says Rytis Maskeliūnas, a professor at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU). 

Researchers at the Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (Mubadala ACCESS) at NYU Abu Dhabi have found that reef fish from the Arabian Gulf, the world’s hottest sea, exhibit a higher tolerance to temperature fluctuations compared to those from more thermally stable coral reefs. 

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have discovered that what was previously thought to be a unique seaweed species of bladderwrack for the Baltic Sea is in fact a giant clone of common bladderwrack, perhaps the world's largest clone overall. 

Researchers at Rice University have uncovered a critical link between rising temperatures and declines in a species’ population, shedding new light on how global warming threatens natural ecosystems. 

New modeling method helped researchers understand why kelp forest returned more slowly in Southern California than in British Columbia.

A century of fire suppression, combined with global warming and drought, has led to increasingly destructive wildfires in the Western United States. 

Crab behavior suggestive of wound-tending may improve coral tolerance to heat waves.
