How Fruit Fly's Fascinating Ability To Adapt To Climate Change Can Help Us Survive
2016-07-07 08:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: How the fruit flies adapt to change in temperature might give us more ideas how we can survive the rapidly changing climate. Fruit flies may be small but they can do big things for climate change research. A recent study revealed that the fruit flies' ability to drastically change body temperature to adapt to the changing environment can help in further understanding how climate change affects insects and their habitat. Canadian Press reported that Heath MacMillan, together with researchers...
As Oceans Become More Acidic,Mussels Could Lose Ability to Hang On
2016-07-06 20:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Rising carbon dioxide emissions have caused the worlds oceans to become 30 percent more acidic since the Industrial Revolution, affecting everything from marine lifes ability to build shells to the pH level of fishes blood. Now, scientists have discovered that more acidic water also prevents mussels from attaching to rocks and other surfaces, which could have ramifications on the global food chain, the economy, and ecosystem health. Oceans today have a pH of about 8.1. When the pH drops below...

Acidic waters dull snails' ability to escape from predatory sea stars
2016-06-29 05:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Ocean acidification makes it harder for sea snails to escape from their sea star predators, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of The Royal Society B, suggest that by disturbing predator-prey interactions, ocean acidification could spur cascading consequences for food web systems in shoreline ecosystems. For instance, black turban snails graze on algae. If more snails are eaten by predators, algae densities could...
