Air Pollution Destroys Sexual Pheromones – Impairs Successful Mating of Flies
High levels of ozone destroy the chemical mating signal of the insects and may thus contribute to global insect decline. Insect sexual communication relies to…

A newly published study from MIT and Princeton University reveals that “grey swan” cyclones will become more frequent and intense over the next century. “Grey…
A new study led by NASA researchers presents multiple lines of evidence – incorporating 40 years of observations – that rapidly melting section of the…
Geoscientists from Rice University are building a whole-Earth model to study long-term climate evolution, focusing on how carbon moves between Earth’s external and internal systems….
El Niño events are not as predictable as previously thought. According to new analyses of climate records locked within ancient corals, the frequency and strength…
While it may seem that melting arctic snow isn’t as dramatic as the record ice melt that’s occurred this year, the loss of arctic snow…
