Nature World News: Naegleria fowleri is a brain eating amoeba that earns itself national attention at least once a year after infecting an unsuspecting swimmer during the summer season. Now researchers are saying that with rising global temperatures, the prevalence of these heat-loving microbes could go up.

Coral reefs better coping rising sea temperatures than thought
2014-05-30 09:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Coral reefs are under threat from rising sea temperatures caused by global warming. But in a recent paper, published in Science, it was found that certain types of coral are able to adapt to tolerate higher sea temperatures by changing the genes they express. Scientists think this new discovery could be used to devise new ways of protecting coral reefs, as well as improving our predictions of how they will cope with climate change in the future. Marine rainforests Known as the "rainforests...
