In a recent study, published in Science Advances Dr. Federico Riva, Dr. Caio Graco-Roza et al. lay out a path to make this happen, and they're hopeful about the potential for breakthroughs in ecology and conservation biology.

Researchers from Germany and Peru jointly develop new adaptation strategies to the impacts of climate change on the Humboldt upwelling area off the Peruvian coast.

Discussions of valuable but threatened ocean ecosystems often focus on coral reefs or coastal mangrove forests. 

As the climate changes, living things must adapt to new environmental conditions in one of two ways – either geographically or genetically. While it’s relatively simple for scientists to track and record a species’ geographic movements, proving their genetic adaptation over time can be much more difficult.

One of the main reasons plants use water is to allow them to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Research explores how a warming world could impact ecosystems and derail the development of new species.

To conserve precious and fragile biodiversity hotspots, a crucial step is knowing how the fruit eaters are doing. 

A scientific team led by University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers has discovered the earliest-known evidence of freshwater fishing by ancient people in the Americas.

We are constantly surrounded by them. Though we cannot see or feel them, we can often catch their whiff.

Areas of the ocean that are rich in marine life are having a bigger impact on our ecosystems and the climate than previously thought, new research suggests.
