Fish stocks fluctuate with seawater temperature
Year-to-year fluctuations in seawater temperature are partly responsible for the much slower ups and downs in the abundance of marine fish stocks. This is the conclusion from a worldwide study by Wageningen University & Research, among others. Fish b.....»»
The Physics of Cold Water May Have Jump-Started Complex Life
When seawater gets cold, it gets viscous. This fact could explain how single-celled ocean creatures became multicellular when the planet was frozen during “Snowball Earth,” according to experiments......»»
Study reveals mechanism used by tegu lizard to raise own temperature
A group of scientists has revealed the mechanism whereby Salvator merianae—the black and white tegu, also called the Argentine giant tegu—is able to keep warm by raising its own body temperature during the reproductive season even while it is in.....»»
A 13-month streak of global temperature records just ended. Here are five takeaways
After 13 months of what felt like an endless breaking of heat records, the streak came to an end last month—just barely. The European climate agency Copernicus said Thursday that July 2024's average heat just missed surpassing July of last year. Wh.....»»
Our lakes are teeming with parasites. Why that"s good… and bad
If you're a fishing enthusiast, you may have already noticed abnormalities or parasites in the wild fish you catch. In fact, the fish we commonly find in our lakes, such as bass or trout, harbor several species of parasites. Although parasites are a.....»»
