The climate crisis is altering seasonal timings, causing bird breeding and vegetation ‘greening’ to fall out of sync. This phenological mismatch is leading to decreased productivity and potential declines in North American bird populations.
Gas stoves in California and Colorado have been found to be a significant source of the toxic chemical benzene.
Night-time pollinators such as moths may visit just as many plants as bees, and should also be the focus of conservation and protection efforts.
Flash droughts, quick and severe droughts posing challenges to sectors like agriculture, are predicted to increase with global warming, especially in North America and Europe.
Present strategies safeguarding the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau’s grasslands are inadvertently harming its ecosystem and need to be reconsidered.
Artificial light at night from coastal developments is potentially disrupting the moonlight cycles corals rely on for spawning, thereby threatening the resilience of these already endangered ecosystems.
Climate change drives the world’s birds to evolve at varying speeds, transforming their bodies and wings in a race against time.
A link has been established between water arsenic levels and higher urinary arsenic in people using private wells and public water systems in the US, emphasising the need for action to protect those at risk from arsenic exposure.
The study of Earth’s climate change and its impact on biodiversity reveals that many trees face potential extinction and decreased diversity, with uncertain consequences for ecosystems and human livelihoods.
Light pollution might lower mosquito survival by messing with their energy storage. This could potentially make the mosquito biting season longer and make it harder for those living in urban environments to survive the winter.
