Microbes Are Likely Speeding Up the Melting of the Glaciers

Yale Environment 360: As if soaring global temperatures werent bad enough, scientists reported this week that microbes are also speeding up the melting of Arctic ice. The problem lies in cryoconite, the soil-like composite of dust, industrial soot and photosynthetic bacteria that darkens the surface of ice and causes it to melt, scientists from Aberystwyth University in Wales said. As it melts, ice leaves behind small water-filled holes full of bacteria. The sun-loving microbes then shape the pockmarks depth and size...

Humans speeding up evolution by causing extinction of 'younger' species

2016-02-23 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] Just three years after crayfish were introduced to a B.C. lake, two species of fish that had existed in the lake for thousands of years were suddenly extinct. But it's what took their place that has scientists fascinated. New research from UBC shows that when humans speed up the usually slow process of evolution by introducing new species, it can result in a lasting impact on the ecosystem. The phenomenon is known as reverse speciation and researchers witnessed it in Eno…
