Pollution can take many forms--including noise. Excess noise in the environment from sources such as traffic can have negative effects on animals that rely on sound to communicate and get information about their surroundings. A new study from The Condor: Ornithological Applications shows that traffic noise makes birds less responsive to alarm calls that would otherwise alert them to dangers such as predators.
Los científicos han sido testigos del nacimiento de nubes de hielo atmosférico, creando cristales de nubes de hielo en el laboratorio y luego tomando imágenes del proceso a través de un microscopio, documentando esencialmente los primeros pasos de la formación de nubes.
If countries abide by the Paris Agreement global warming target of 1.5 degrees Celsius, potential fish catches could increase by six million metric tons per year, according to a new study published in Science.
The researchers also found that some oceans are more sensitive to changes in temperature and will have substantially larger gains from achieving the Paris Agreement.
El cambio climático provocado por el hombre probablemente aumentó la severidad de las olas de calor que afectaron a la India, Paquistán, Europa, África Oriental, Asia Oriental y Australia en 2015 y ayudó a convertirlo en el año más caluroso registrado, según una nueva investigación publicada hoy en una Edición Especial del Boletín de la Sociedad Meteorológica Americana.
NEWPORT, Ore. – A sophisticated new type of “tag” on whales that can record data every second for hours, days and weeks at a time provides a view of whale behavior, biology and travels never before possible, scientists from Oregon State University reported today in a new study.
From the Arctic to the Mojave Desert, terrestrial and marine habitats are rapidly changing. These changes impact animals that are adapted to specific ecological niches, sometimes displacing them or reducing their numbers. From their privileged vantage point, satellites are particularly well-suited to observe habitat transformation and help scientists forecast impacts on the distribution, abundance and migration of animals.
