Climate News Network.: Climate change doesnt just threaten species that are already vulnerable it could have alarming consequences for a huge range of birds, corals and amphibians that no-one had considered in danger of extinction before, according to a new study. Wendy Foden of the International Union for the Conservation of Natures global species programme and colleagues examined the findings of 100 scientists over the last five years and looked for the biological and ecological characteristics that might make...

Reuters: Many species of birds, amphibians and corals not currently under threat will be at risk from climate change and have been wrongly omitted from conservation planning, an international study said yesterday. The Amazon rainforest was among the places where ever more types of birds and amphibians would be threatened as temperatures climbed, it said. Common corals off Indonesia would also be among the most vulnerable. Overall, up to 41 per cent of all bird species, 29 per cent of amphibians and...

Sydney Morning Herald: The emu-wren, with its delicate filagreed tail, would go. So too would the master of disguise, the ground parrot - victims of increased fire in Australia's south-east. And the palm cockatoo could disappear from its tropical toehold. They are among 396 native birds likely to suffer as a result of climate change, according to the first analysis of global warming's effects on Australian birds. Of 1232 Australian bird species and subspecies, one-quarter would do badly when exposed to the effects...

Forbes: When I compared Angelinas Jolies decision-making courage when responding to a scientific consensus about the likelihood she would develop cancer to GOP decision-making cowardice when responding to a scientific consensus about the likelihood of civilization altering climate-change I expected some blow-back. But I also expected some interesting dialogue, especially about tensions in the Republican Party, what the National Journal titled The Coming GOP Civil War Over Climate Change. Wow, was...

Climate Change's Effects In Species Interaction
2013-05-23 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: While the weather can affect a persons mood, life scientists at UCLA have offered new evidence that climate change could affect interaction between species. The study, titled Temperature dependence of trophic interactions are driven by asymmetry of species responses and foraging strategy and published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, suggests that environmental temperature could have systematic effects on the rates of species interactions, which could occur primarily through its influence...
