News Nation: According to a new study, fossils resembling miniaturised popcorn that date back millions of years provide the first statistical evidence that number of species on Earth depends on how the environment changes. Research conducted at University of Southampton in UK shows that environmental changes put a cap on species richness. This was based on analysing the fossil record of microscopic aquatic creatures called planktonic foraminifera. "While the idea of infinite species on a finite Earth is clearly...

First Post: Scientists have successfully developed a model that can predict the outbreak of diseases that spread from animals to humans -- such as Ebola and Zika -- based on changes in climate, population growth and land use. "This model is a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people," said Kate Jones from University College London (UCL) in the UK. "We hope it can be used to help communities prepare and respond to disease outbreaks, as well as to make decisions...

Predicting disease outbreaks using environmental changes
2016-06-12 19:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurekAlert: A model that predicts outbreaks of zoonotic diseases -- those originating in livestock or wildlife such as Ebola and Zika -- based on changes in climate, population growth and land use has been developed by a UCL-led team of researchers. "This model is a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people. We hope it can be used to help communities prepare and respond to disease outbreaks, as well as to make decisions about environmental change factors that...
