A computer-modelling study of 2024 Storm Boris shows human-driven warming boosted rainfall by up to 9%, but amplified river flood peaks by up to 22%.
Computer models show that ocean reserves cover only 11.2% to 13.7% of the total human hazards loggerhead turtles face as their habitats shift across seasons.
A study across Costa Rican mountain gardens shows bee diversity peaks halfway up the slopes, while high-altitude bees form tighter, more shared plant networks.
Microbes at seafloor cold seeps consume substantial amounts of methane, locking their digestion speed into rock chemistry over the past 100,000 years.
A study of 41 species finds that shark skeleton mineralisation drops sharply with ocean depth, varying over 40-fold between surface dwellers and deep ocean species.
A study in Jimma, Ethiopia, shows that four threatened vulture species gather at urban waste sites, especially during the wet season, but face deadly risks from electric lines.
Marine carbon from Arctic organisms binds industrial pollutants up to ten times better than land carbon. Models suggest higher marine plant production could increase pollutant removal from shelf waters by 1.3 times.
A newly isolated heat-loving archaeon can directly turn complex fatty acids into methane all by itself. The discovery shows that single microbes can break down long fats without sharing the workload with bacteria.
After decades of peaceful coexistence, Iberian lynx started hunting predatory kites when drought and disease wiped out their shared rabbit prey. This sudden clash forced the birds to flee, reshaping the local food web.
High-resolution modelling shows that tiny ocean motions weaken vertical heat flow during winter marine heatwaves, significantly curbing their intensity.
