Tucson Sentinel: As temperatures around the world rise, a recent study has shown hundreds of species would need to evolve about 10,000 times faster than they have in the past to adapt to the rapid climate change expected in the next 100 years. The study, which was led by University of Arizona ecologist John J. Wiens, analyzed the way species adapted to climate change in the past, using data from 540 living species from all major groups of terrestrial vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals,...

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Australian dryland farming expertise is being seen as a model for other countries as they learn to live with changed climate. The University of Tasmania is hosting a number of Ethiopian agricultural scientists completing Phd's on climate change and farming with increasing climate variability. Agricultural scientists Tewodros Mesfin and Nega Debela work with small scale subsistence farmers in Ethiopia who are grappling with more variable climate. The low input farms combine crops with livestock,...
