New research examining 11,700 years of bowhead whale persistence throughout the Arctic projects that sea ice loss due to climate change will cause their habitat to severely contract by up to 75 per cent.

Clownfish have been shown to shrink in order to survive heat stress and avoid social conflict, Newcastle University research reveals.

 All of the world’s winegrowing regions have been impacted by climate change, but with unequal impacts that vary across the growing season, reports a new study by E.M. Wolkovich of the University of British Columbia and colleagues, published May 21 in the open-access journal PLOS Climate.

Most plants form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi since their emergence on land hundreds of millions of years ago. Depending on the availability of carbon (C), these symbioses employ two nutrient acquisition strategies: (i) via mycorrhizal fungi and (ii) via roots. While nutrient acquisition through symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi is C costly, it is fundamental for plant growth, community and ecosystem functioning.
