National Geographic: Monkey Hunting Could Drive These Species Extinct The bush meat business is thriving on Bioko Island to the detriment of its primates and the forests they inhabit. Hunting on Equatorial Guinea's Bioko Island threatens red colobus monkeys, which hover on the brink of extinction. It's hard to ignore a red colobus monkey in the forests of Equatorial Guinea's Bioko Island, off the coast of Cameroon. The shaggy, orange-and-maroon-hued primates bark and squawk like barnyard animals. Top notch...

Ancient bones point to shifting grassland species as climate changes
2016-03-26 16:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: More rainfall during the growing season may have led to one of the most significant changes in Earth's vegetation in the distant past, and similar climate changes could affect the distribution of plants in the future as well, a new study suggests. In a report in Science Advances, an analysis was done of mammoth and bison hair, teeth and bones, along with other data. It concludes that a changing climate -- particularly increasing rainfall and not just atmospheric carbon dioxide -- explains the expansion...

Tropical species are especially vulnerable to climate change
2016-03-25 13:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Changes in temperature and weather patterns pose a serious threat to the millions of animal, plant and fungi species found in the tropics. In an article published in Science, lead authors and biology Ph.D. students Timothy Perez and James Stroud explain how species found in environments such as the tropics have lower tolerances to climate change. With greater amounts of thermally sensitive species than environments found at higher latitudes, the threat of global climate change puts tropical species...

Woodlands in Europe: More tree species, more benefits
2016-03-15 11:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Forest homogenisation results in a lower ecosystem performance. This summarises the findings of an international team of scientists from 29 institutions, including researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), Leipzig University and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv). The scientists were able to demonstrate that species-rich forest stands give rise to a higher number and more varied range of services than those with fewer species. 20…
