Nature World: Bee populations have taken a hard hit, and it appears humans are to blame for the recent decline. Researchers from the Universities of Exeter and California, Berkeley, have discovered that a deadly bee disease that originated in European populations has spread worldwide as the result of importing infected honeybees. What's worse: bee colonies are suffering from what researchers call a "double blow." The dreaded Deformed Wing Virus paired with Varroa destructor mites, which feed on bee larva, has...

Yale Environment 360: Rising global temperatures may be skewing the gender makeup of marine turtles, according to new research from Florida State University. The gender of marine hatchlings is influenced by the temperature of the sands in which they incubate, with warmer temperatures producing more females. It's worrying that you could have an extreme skew in gender one way," said Mariana Fuentes, an assistant professor of oceanography at FSU. "Any changes in population structure can have real repercussions. The scientists...

Climate change's frost harms early plant reproduction, study finds
2016-02-05 13:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: The findings appear in the journal Global Change Biology. Climate change has many ecological effects, such as altering flowering phenology, or the blooming time of wildflowers, across the world. Altering blooming time often affects plant reproduction and survival, but the mechanisms behind these changes are not well understood. The researchers used two large-scale field experiments to assess how altering the phenology of the western spring beauty affects plant-pollinator interactions and plant...
