Protecting the Amazon rainforest reduces deforestation, improves air quality, and lowers respiratory diseases, benefiting both biodiversity and human health.
Warm water under Antarctica’s ice shelves speeds up melting. A Seaglider study provides insights into this process, aiding climate predictions.
Bats use echolocation for long-distance navigation, creating sound-based maps, with vision enhancing accuracy, showing adaptability in challenging environments.
Deforestation drives insect evolution, with species adapting new colours to blend or warn. This rapid, human-driven change reveals wildlife’s resilience and adaptability in transforming ecosystems.
Moonlight influences animal behaviour, with many species adjusting activity, particularly in tropical forest environments.
Research reveals that most of Earth’s zinc likely came from ancient, unmelted space rocks, shedding light on how planets form.
Research on migratory songbirds shows reduced survival due to poor non-breeding conditions, highlighting the impact of climate change on bird populations.
Trees naturally capture carbon dioxide, but buried wood in low-oxygen environments offers promising long-term carbon sequestration.
Wind-blown iron dust helps oceans absorb carbon and support life. Its availability changes with distance, affecting climate predictions.
