Antarctic Fossils Suggest That Mass Extinction Event in Polar Regions as Rapid as Elsewhere
2016-05-27 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications revealed that animals living in the Polar Regions suffered from the sudden and deadly effect of the mass extinction event just like elsewhere in the world. Previously, scientists believe that animals in the Polar Regions are far enough away from the cause of the extinction to be badly affected. They also proposed that organisms living in the poles would have been more resilient to global climatic changes associated with an asteroid impact...

Indonesian birds face extinction due to pet trade study
2016-05-25 13:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Thirteen species of Indonesian birds, including the countrys symbolic Javan hawk-eagle, are at serious risk of extinction mainly due to the pet trade, a wildlife watchdog warned Wednesday. The vast Indonesian archipelago is home to a dizzying array of birds and keeping them as pets has long been part of the national culture, with birdcages a common sight outside homes and shops across the country. However increasing demand for some species as pets has led to dramatic population declines, wildlife...
Fossil gives clues to ancient extinction
2016-05-23 11:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: A newly-classified fossil gives clues to how life in the oceans recovered from a mass extinction about 250 million years ago. The reptile is an early relative of the ichthyosaurs - a large group of marine reptiles that swam at the time of the dinosaurs. With its tiny toothless head, the creature is something of a curiosity, say scientists. The specimen suggests marine reptiles evolved quickly after the event. Previous evidence has suggested it took a long time for animals in the seas...
