Nearly a quarter of West Antarctic ice is now unstable

A team of researchers, led by Professor Andy Shepherd from the University of Leeds, found that Antarctica's ice sheet has thinned by up to 122 metres in places, with the most rapid changes occurring in West Antarctica where ocean melting has triggered glacier imbalance. This means that the affected glaciers

New Study Finds Chemicals In Sunscreen Break Through Your Skin & Seep Into Your Bloodstream

A new study, one out of many, has shown that it takes less than a day for the chemicals within sunscreen to penetrate the skin and enter into ones bloodstream, beyond levels that are considered safe.

Paper wasps capable of behavior that resembles logical reasoning

For millennia, transitive inference was considered a hallmark of human deductive powers, a form of logical reasoning used to make inferences: If A is greater than B, and B is greater than C, then A is greater than C. But in recent decades, vertebrate animals including monkeys, birds and fish

Climate change responsible for severe infectious disease in UK frogs: Compelling research reveals fatal spread of Ranavirus will increase if carbon emissions are not reduced

Historic trends in mass-mortality events attributed to the disease were found to match the pattern of increased temperatures recorded over recent decades, with disease outbreaks predicted to become more severe, more widespread and occurring over a greater proportion of the year within the next few decades, if carbon emissions continue

Birds outside their comfort zone are more vulnerable to deforestation

Predicting a species' sensitivity to environmental changes, such as deforestation or climate change, is crucial for designing conservation strategies..

Dexterous herring gulls learn new tricks to adapt their feeding habits

The gulls (Larus argentatus) of Dún Laoghaire Marina at Dublin in Ireland have found a novel way of disposing of the tightly fixed outer layer of sea squirts -- an organism which they have learnt to pluck from the underside of pontoons by diving or floating on the water.

Arctic warming will accelerate climate change and impact global economy

A new paper in Nature Communications reveals a combination of these factors has the potential to increase the long-term economic impact of climate change by just under $70 trillion, under mitigation levels consistent with current national pledges to cut carbon emissions (5% of the estimated total cost of climate change

An evolutionary rescue in polluted waters: How genetics, resources and a long-distant relative helped one lucky fish species adapt to extreme pollution

The exceptional survivor story of the Gulf killifish was one scientists at the University of California, Davis, Baylor University and their co-authoring colleagues wanted to unveil so they could learn more about what other species may need to adapt to drastically changed environments. The minnow-like Gulf killifish are an important

Arsenic-breathing life discovered in the tropical Pacific Ocean
