Persistent temperature stress events are degrading coral reefs worldwide, but a new study from Florida Institute of Technology has found that corals in naturally turbid waters are less affected by thermal stress than corals in clearer water.

The next step is learning more about whether these root-associated fungi are keeping some nitrogen to themselves, and why.

A Texas A&M research team says processes leading to hypoxia led to the death of parts of the reefs at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.

Trees and insects may play a significant role in the emission of methane – a potent greenhouse gas – and improving our understanding of exactly how this happens could help in targeting more effective ways to fight global warming.

A new study in Nature Climate Change has found that, left unchecked, the combined effects of deforestation and human-induced climate change could eliminate Madagascar’s entire eastern rainforest habitat by 2070, impacting thousands of plants, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians that are endemic to the island nation. 

The rare type of freshwater bog shares space with red wolves and bomb targets on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula in North Carolina.

Mealworms are not only able to eat various forms of plastic, as previous research has shown, they can consume potentially toxic plastic additives in Styrofoam with no ill effects, a new study shows. The worms can then be used as a safe, protein-rich feed supplement.

DNA-based biomonitoring relies on species-specific segments of organisms DNA for their taxonomic identification and is rapidly advancing for monitoring invertebrate communities across a variety of ecosystems.

In a time of global climate uncertainty and growing populations, reliance on alternative sources of drinking waters is ever-increasing.

A new study found that rotating organic crop and livestock production on the same land didn’t pose significant food safety risks.
