Approximately 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. 

In a study tracking climate-induced changes in the distribution of animals and their effects on ecosystem functions, North Carolina State University researchers show that resident species can continue managing some important ecological processes despite the arrival of newcomers that are similar to them, but resident species’ role in ecosystem functioning changes when the newcomers are more different.

Research done at Willis Tower in Chicago shows that automated insulating window shades can significantly reduce energy consumption, with strong positive response from office users.
