Mother Nature Network: Bees have a laundry list of problems going against them these days. Among them is air pollution, and a new study shows just how air pollution is affecting bees' ability to find food. By studying how changes in air chemistry affect foraging patterns of bees, researchers from Penn State illustrate that a rise in air pollution is a serious problem for pollinators. According to PhysOrg: Air pollutants interact with and break down plant-emitted scent molecules, which insect pollinators use to locate...

Scientists have found yet another part of Antarctica that may be in trouble

Wahingtonpost: The forces affecting the ice in West Antarctica are an area of urgent focus for climate scientists who are all too aware of the ice sheets huge potential contributions to global sea-level rise. A great deal of this attention has centered on a specific region bordering the Amundsen Sea, south of the Antarctic Peninsula, where research has suggested that a set of rapidly retreating glaciers -- including the famous Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers -- may be increasingly vulnerable to collapse. But...

Huffington Post: Scientists believe humans seriously threaten the existence of a rare type of wolf in Nepal. An international research team led by graduate student Madhu Chetri from Norway's Hedmark University College confirmed that four fecal samples found in Nepal's Trans-Himalayan region belonged to Himalayan wolves. Anecdotal evidence indicated that these wolves still roamed the mountains of Nepal, India and Tibet. The team, whose work was published last week in the journal ZooKeys, has proven the animals...
Trouble in Paradise: Fatal Blight Threatens A Key Hawaiian Tree

Yale Environment 360: Threatens Key Hawaiian Tree The ?ohi?a is Hawaiis iconic tree, a keystone species that maintains healthy watersheds and provides habitat for numerous endangered birds. But a virulent fungal disease, possibly related to a warmer, drier climate, is now felling the islands cherished 'ohi'a forests. Hawaiis isolation, 2,390 miles from the North American mainland, has given the island chain a unique array of species found nowhere else, including the ?ohi?a lehua, an evergreen in the myrtle family...
