In parts of the Midwest and Great Plains, feathery yellow goldenrod and stands of big bluestem sway alongside Indiangrass and other prairie plants, stretching up to eight feet tall.
A recent study shows that heat causes a sharp hormonal spike in isolated honey bees, but social interactions and a key pheromone help prevent this stress response, revealing how bees stay resilient in a warming world.
Researchers have found there is a bacterial protein “key” that allows the Hawaiian bobtail squid to develop a healthy body and its bioluminescent “glow.”
Climate change may reduce yields of crops like corn and soybeans, but it can also give some plants an edge.
New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that the travel time of underwater sounds traveling across the Arctic Ocean can be used to precisely measure ocean temperature under the region’s sea ice, providing precious data on temperature variability in a rapidly changing environment that is remote and difficult to access.
Access to safe drinking water depends not only on infrastructure, but on the people who operate and maintain it.
At the top of the planet, the cap of sea ice across Arctic waters grows and shrinks with the seasons, usually reaching its annual maximum extent in March. In 2026, this peak occurred on March 15, when the extent reached 14.29 million square kilometers, matching the lowest maximum observed since satellite monitoring began in 1979.
After a wildfire, the flames may fade, but the danger does not.
The study, published today (30 March), was led by Dr Adriana Humanes, Newcastle University and Dr Juan Ortiz, Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).
New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography is shining a spotlight on one of the ocean’s most overlooked habitats: seagrass.
