Papers Find Mixed Impacts on Ocean Species from Rising CO2

New York Times: Britains Royal Society has published a helpful new collection of papers in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B that provide fresh insights on how the global buildup of carbon dioxide released by human activities could affect ocean ecology. The work adds to a growing body of science pointing to large changes, with some types of marine organisms and ecosystems seemingly able to adjust and even thrive, while others ail. And its quite clear that regions already heavily affected by other...
Global warming is changing marine species, Plymouth scientists find

Herald: GLOBAL warming is causing a "widespread shift" in the behaviour of marine species in the world`s oceans, according to new research by a city team. Scientists at Plymouth University were involved in putting together a report, entitled Global Imprint of Climate Change on Marine Life, which found that warming oceans are causing marine species to change breeding times and move quicker than expected. The findings could have "substantial consequences" for the broader marine landscape, and will form...

Marine life reacting faster to climate change than land species

Bloomberg: Species that depend on the sea are reacting more quickly to global warming than land-based life, according to a study in scientific journal Nature Climate Change, with implications for fisheries and food supplies. Areas occupied by marine species including fish, corals and plankton are moving by an average of 72 kilometers (45 miles) a decade, typically toward the poles, the study by researchers at 17 institutions in 8 countries said today. Thats more than 10 times the 6.1 kilometer rate that...
Madagascar cools as hotspot for new species evolution

LiveScience: Madagascar, a large island in the Indian Ocean, may have only 1 percent of the world's land area, but it has an outsize 3 percent of its species. It is among the most diverse places for life on Earth. But the process that put Madagascar on this list the evolution of new species may have slowed down, a new study suggests. When it comes to the island's impressive biodiversity, "the formation of new species does not seem to be playing as important a role as it (did) in the past," Daniel Scantlebury,...

Species not evolving fast enough to cope with a changing world
2013-07-23 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science NOW: Scientists know that climate change is putting species around the globe in peril, but just how much peril? After all, when evolution failed to keep pace with a major climatic event 65 million years ago, half the planet's species went extinct and dinosaurs were reduced to jittery feathered creatures that get bullied by squirrels on bird-feeders. A new study suggests that our current era of climate change won't just exceed the rate of evolution, but will do so by a factor of thousands. Although the...
