Rescue or Not, That Question With Distressed Animals
2016-05-24 13:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The recent controversy over a bison calf in Yellowstone is just the latest in a series of tough choices on wild animals in trouble. This bison calf was euthanized earlier this month after it was placed in a car by a visitor to Yellowstone. Maybe it's a baby robin that falls out of a nest in the backyard, or perhaps twin deer fawns left orphaned after their mother gets struck by a car or eaten by wolves, or perchance a bald eagle, behaving strangely, staggering on the ground and unable to fly....

Role of animals in mitigating climate change varies across tropical forests
2016-04-25 11:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, sheds important new light on the role seed dispersal by animals plays in mitigating climate change, and how this role can vary in tropical forests across the world. In tropical forests of the Americas, Africa and South Asia, a large majority of tree species depend on animals for seed dispersal. Tree species with large seeds attain greater adult sizes than those having smaller seeds. Using simulations, the researchers showed that declines...

Animals Rule Chernobyl 30 Years After Nuclear Disaster

National Geographic: Animals Rule Chernobyl 30 Years After Nuclear Disaster Three decades later, it's not certain how radiation is affecting wildlife-but it's clear that animals abound. The Przewalski's horse nearly went extinct, but in an effort to save the species it was introduced into the area around Chernobyl in 1998 and to other reserves worldwide. Without humans living in the area, the horse population has been increasing. Marina Shkvyria watches for animal tracks as she walks toward an abandoned village...

Rare animals vital for ecosystem life support
2016-04-06 10:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Rare animal species are vital to maintaining tropical ecosystems and could cause a chain reaction of disastrous biodiversity loss if they go extinct, a paper warns today. Animals that are considered rare -- because they occupy a niche environment or there are few of them -- are more likely than common animals to perform specialised and often irreplaceable roles in their environments, the study found. This is especially true for highly biodiverse environments, such as the tropics, the researchers...
