7 newly discovered peacock spiders change your mind about arachnids
2016-06-01 12:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Most people you ask would be hesitant to describe arachnids as "cute," but that's probably because they've never laid eyes on a peacock spider. These Australian jumping spiders are super tiny (only a few millimeters long), but what they lack in size is made up in their naturally flamboyant attitude and style. Although they belong to the Maratus genus, their common name is a reference to their distinctive peacock-like courtship dances that are performed by the males when they're trying to woo a...
Newly Discovered Coral Reef System Found At the Amazon River Already in Grave Danger
2016-04-24 09:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers are flabbergasted over the discovery of a coral reef system located at the muddy waters off the mouth of the Amazon River. Corals are known to thrive in clear, sunlit saltwater. The Amazon plume, the area where fresh water from the river mixes with the salty Atlantic Ocean, creates gaps in the reef distribution along the tropical shelves, making it difficult for the corals to grow. Thus, the discovery of a coral reef system at the mouth of the Amazon River is significantly surprising,...

Boston Globe: Researchers discovered a possible new butterfly species in Alaska and believe it could tell us more about the pace of climate change. The Tanana Arctic, or Oeneis tanana, probably evolved from a rare hybrid when two butterfly species mated before the last ice age, according to a study published this month in the Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera. While the butterfly could help shed light on the North American Arctic's geological history, it can also serve as a sort of canary in the coal...

Newly discovered plastic-eating bacteria could be the key to combating landfill waste
2016-03-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BGR: An article published in Science this week discusses Japanese researchers discovery of Ideonella sakaiensis, a species of bacteria that is capable of breaking down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which accounts for an estimated one-sixth of global plastic production. The researchers say that when cultivated on the plastic, the bacteria produces two enzymes capable of hydrolyzing PET. These enzymes are crucial for converting the plastic into tow more environmentally friendly components, terephthalic...
