Undergrads find new spider species—name them after Obamas, Leonardo DiCaprio
DNA analysis of more than 900 scat samples collected over several summers allowed researchers to develop detailed maps of the species frequenting habitats across a broad swath of northeastern Argentina
Newly published results suggest that mammalian herbivores could generally help protect diversity in warmer climates by preventing losses of small and slowly-growing species
The NuBBE database (NuBBEDB) has been expanded to include predicted NMR data from ACD/Labs in support of research for the development of new drugs from natural products and sustainability of Brazilian biodiversity
University of Adelaide researchers developed a realistic mathematical model to predict whether gene drives could be used to eradicate populations of invasive mice from islands
“If we look at the total number of fish we actually see that these increase under ocean acidification but local biodiversity is lost,” says researcher
Researchers found that high CO2 expected by the end of the century which causes ocean acidification will boost production at different levels of the food web, but ocean warming cancelled this benefit by causing stress to marine animals
