Winters are warming faster than summers in North America, impacting everything from ecosystems to the economy. 

At the southeast tip of a large valley in the northern Sierra Madre Oriental is the small Mexican town of Estanque de Norias, some 200 miles west of the Texas border at Laredo.

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels will still be catastrophic for coral reefs, new research suggests.

To get through a long winter without food, hibernating animals — like the 13-lined ground squirrel — can slow their metabolism by as much as 99 percent, but they still need important nutrients like proteins to maintain muscles while they hibernate.

At a place where seven different water masses meet, the waters are teeming with phytoplankton and fish.

Ecosystem drivers of marine life can offer “early warning system” for fishermen.

New findings also point to coastal construction as potential way of further spreading coral disease

Texas A&M AgriLife Research studies show shiner and minnow populations could provide early signs of water depletion, drought, and other environmental changes.

Being common is rather unusual. It’s far more common for a species to be rare, spending its existence in small densities throughout its range.

Researchers have predicted that expanding the Aransas Pass — the marine pass between Mustang Island and Saint Joseph Island, offshore from the town of Aransas Pass, Texas — would increase the native red drum fish population.
