Study finds tropical fish moving into temperate waters
2014-12-19 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Tropical herbivorous fish are beginning to expand their range into temperate waters - likely as a result of climate change - and a new international study documents the dramatic impact of the intrusion in the Mediterranean Sea. Temperate waters are typically dominated by algal "forests" and have naturally low levels and limited diversity of herbivores, the researchers say. But as tropical fish move into these waters, they are consuming much of the plant life and changing the habitat as well as...
Study: Climate change affecting fish movement
2014-12-19 06:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asbury Park Press: According to a study being conducted by Rutgers University, climate change seems to be pushing several species of fish and crustaceans northward along the east and west coasts of North America. The movement could have serious effects on birds, marine mammals and those who depend on fishing for food and income. "As temperatures have warmed in the waters off our coasts, animals with a low tolerance for that warming have just picked up and shifted," says Malin Pinsky, a marine biologist at Rutgers...

Clearing Rainforests Distorts Global Rainfall & Agriculture, Study Says
2014-12-18 20:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Clearing forests not only releases carbon into the atmosphere, it also triggers worldwide shifts in rainfall and temperatures that are just as potent as those caused by current carbon pollution and that pose great risk to future agricultural productivity, researchers report. Deforestation in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa may alter growing conditions in agricultural areas as far away as the U.S. Midwest, Europe, and China, the study in Nature Climate Change finds. The researchers calculate...

Wearable shipments to reach 168.2 mln in 2019 - study
2014-12-18 15:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Connected wearable shipments will reach 168.2 million units in 2019 from 19 million this year and 5.9 million in 2013, according to a report from Berg Insight. The shipment of wearables, including smartwatches, smart glasses, fitness & activity trackers, people monitoring & safety devices and medical devices as well as other wearable devices, will record a compound annual growth rate of 54.7 percent. Bluetooth will remain the primary connectivity option in the coming years, but a total of 16.6 million of the wearables shipments in 2019 will likely incorporate embedded cellular connectivity, mainly in the smartwatch and people monitoring & safety categories. The shipment of fitness & activity trackers reached 13.0 million units this year. The category is expected to rise to 42.0 million in 2019, boosted by decreasing prices and new form factors. Smartwatches, currently the second most popular category, will overtake fitness & activity trackers within the next five years, driven by improved devices available in different price segments. The shipments of smart glasses is still very modest, but will likely rise, pushed by specific markets such as enterprise and medical as well as in niche segments of the consumer market.
