  • Tropical Forest Reserves Slow Down Global Warming

    National parks and nature reserves in South America, Africa and Asia, created to protect wildlife, heritage sites and the territory of indigenous people, are reducing carbon emissions from tropical deforestation by a third, and so are slowing the rate of global warming, a new study shows.

  • Peatland Plants Adapting Well to Climate Change, Suggests Study

    They account for just three per cent of the Earth’s surface but play a major role in offsetting carbon dioxide emissions – and now a team of scientists led by the universities of Southampton and Utrecht has discovered that the plants that make up peat bogs adapt exceptionally well to climate change.

  • Swarms of Monarch Butterflies Stuck Up North

    Tens of thousands of monarch butterflies that should be in Texas by now, en route to their wintering grounds in Mexico, are still in the northern U.S. and Canada, their migrations delayed due to above-average temperatures and strong winds this fall.

  • Researchers probe explosion in the number of pyrosomes off Alaska

    Researchers at NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center are reporting a never-before-seen phenomenon in Alaska waters—an influx of strange organisms that resemble flattened, translucent sea pickles.

    It may sound like déjà vu. A similar story made headlines along the West Coast last summer, but this is a new situation for Alaska.

  • 'Wing Prints' May Identify Individual Bats as Effectively as Fingerprints Identify People

    Research by a USDA Forest Service scientist and her partners may solve a longtime problem in bat research by demonstrating that bats’ wings are as reliable a method of identifying individual bats as fingerprints are for human beings.

  • Canada geese give hunters the slip by hiding out in Chicago

     It’s open season for Canada geese in Illinois from mid-October to mid-January. Unfortunately for hunters, Canada geese are finding a new way to stay out of the line of fire. Rather than being “sitting ducks” in a rural pond, they’re setting up residence in the city.

  • Logged Tropical Rainforests Still Support Biodiversity Even When the Heat Is On

    Tropical rainforests continue to buffer wildlife from extreme temperatures even after logging, a new study has revealed.

  • University of Toronto biologists discover an epigenetic key to unlock behavioural change in fruit flies

    When it comes to behaviour, researchers have moved beyond the “nature versus nurture” debate. It’s understood that genes and environment both play a role. However, how they interact at a molecular level to shape behaviour is still unclear.

    A new study led by scientists at the University of Toronto sheds valuable light on this relationship. The paper, published in  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, reveals how epigenetics – changes in gene expression that do not change DNA – interact with genes to shape different feeding behaviours in fruit flies. This research unlocks the molecular mechanism that leads “rover” flies to forage for food more than “sitter” flies.
