As individuals increasingly migrate from the countryside to urban areas in search of improved economic opportunities, or when farming ceases to be profitable, the lands…
A recent study led by a University College London researcher, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, reveals that climate change could suddenly thrust species beyond…
Tectonic changes alter sea levels which can create breeding grounds for life. Researchers have discovered that Earth’s tectonic plate movements cause sea levels to rise…
New research findings could explain biodiversity hotspots in tectonically quiet regions. If we could rewind the tape of species evolution around the world and play…
The diversity of the sea lettuce species, a type of green algae, present in the Baltic Sea region and Skagerak, is significantly more extensive than…
Food production is the main cause of biodiversity loss. Understanding the areas where usage clashes with key conservation zones can guide policymakers in their decision-making….
The Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), a massive area in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of India and rich in minerals, has been parceled out to…
The Late Ordovician mass extinction event (LOME) has long been viewed as odd compared to other mass extinction events in Earth’s history. Contrary to nearly…
A group of botanists from Ecuador, Germany, and the United States have identified two new distinct species of carnivorous plants notable for their striking appearance….
New findings from research conducted in Moorea reveal that the existence of coral skeletons has a significant impact on the recovery of reefs following bleaching…
According to researchers, the rapid melting of glaciers due to climate change is causing widespread habitat loss for the invertebrates that live in the cold…
Anthropogenic changes have a positive impact on species with a wider distribution. Human actions are hastening shifts in biodiversity and causing rapid alterations in species…
Plant ecologist Richard T. Corlett proposes a strategy to prevent future land plant extinctions, including training more experts, creating an online “metaherbarium,” and establishing “microreserves.”…
