A study conducted off the coast of Biscay shows that cold-affinity algae species are gradually being replaced by warm-affinity ones.

While climate change has led to an increase in the abundance of octopuses, heat stress from projected ocean warming could impair their vision and impact the survivability of the species.

The Common Loon, an icon of the northern wilderness, is under threat from climate change due to reduced water clarity, according to a new study authored by Chapman University professor, Walter Piper. 

Age matters when determining how to protect life in the ocean; every population needs a strong cohort of adults to produce the next generation. 

The research looked at how two different types of plastic break down when tested in extreme conditions.

Even in nature, pride can prevail. 

Australia could soon see megadroughts that last for more than 20 years, according to new modelling from The Australian National University (ANU) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes.

A fungus devastating frogs and toads on nearly every continent may have an Achilles heel.

The largest living animal, the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) which averages about 27 metres in length, has slowly recovered from whaling only to face the rising challenges of global warming, pollution, disrupted food sources, shipping, and other human threats.

Global warming and extreme heat events, alongside the continued expansion of deforestation in the world, may be devastating for many species of animals, especially those that know how to climb trees.
