Loss of Just one Bee Species Lowers Reproduction Success in Flowering Plants
2013-07-23 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: A new study has found that plants reduce their seed production even if one of their favorite pollinators disappears. The study shows the complexity of the system. The study was conducted by researchers from Emory University and their colleagues, who found that loss of even one species of pollinators reduces competition and affects the floral fidelity which further leads to lower reproduction success in plants. Researchers focused on the interaction between bumblebees and larkspur wildflowers in...

Researchers Find Endangered Species on Their iPod Playlists
2013-07-19 14:00:00| TechNewsWorld
Biologists are using a novel blend of technology and data sharing to track endangered wildlife. A new report details the results of about five years of experiments in tracking the vocal activity of birds, frogs, insects and mammals. Researchers set up an automated remote biodiversity monitoring network designed to address one of the biggest challenges of working in environmental conservation.

Climate change is happening too quickly for species to adapt

Guardian: Among the many strange mantras repeated by climate change deniers is the claim that even in an overheated, climate-altered planet, animals and plants will still survive by adapting to global warming. Corals, trees, birds, mammals and butterflies are already changing to the routine reality of global warming, it is argued. Certainly, countless species have adapted to past climate fluctuations. However, their rate of change turns out to be painfully slow, according to a study by Professor John Wiens...

UA study: Species can't evolve fast enough to adjust to climate change
2013-07-13 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Tucson Sentinel: As temperatures around the world rise, a recent study has shown hundreds of species would need to evolve about 10,000 times faster than they have in the past to adapt to the rapid climate change expected in the next 100 years. The study, which was led by University of Arizona ecologist John J. Wiens, analyzed the way species adapted to climate change in the past, using data from 540 living species from all major groups of terrestrial vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals,...
