Elephant ancestors" teeth evolved in response to long term changes in diet and climate in Africa
The latest study about of proboscideans (elephants and their ancient relatives) from the University of Helsinki provides proof that some proboscideans started to adapt to locally grass-rich environments in East Africa first by changing their behavior.....»»
How soil microfauna diversity and community assembly change across latitudes in croplands
Soil microfauna are microscopic animals that live in the soil and play important roles in nutrient cycling, plant growth, and ecosystem functioning. A team of researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conduc.....»»
Land-use strategies, nutrient conditions contribute to oak decline
New research led by a University of Georgia ecologist sheds light, for the first time, on how land-use disturbance and nutrient conditions play a role in the decline of oak forests. The most promising strategy to address this decline is reduced cutti.....»»

Considerable but unsustainable water supply from thawing permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau in a changing climate
In a warming climate, the sustainability of cryospheric meltwater on the Tibetan Plateau has raised concerns because of its importance for the fragile ecosystem in the headwater regions and the dense populations in the downstream. Existing studies ma.....»»
Using a detector the size of a galaxy, astronomers detect gravitational waves from supermassive black hole pairs
When black holes and other enormously massive, dense objects whirl around one another, they send out ripples in space and time called gravitational waves. These waves are one of the few ways we have to study the enigmatic cosmic giants that create th.....»»
