Climate Change --"Triggered Extinction of Giant Ice Age Species"

Daily Galaxy: Giant Ice Age species including elephant-sized sloths and powerful sabre-toothed cats that once roamed the windswept plains of Patagonia, southern South America, were finally felled by a perfect storm of a rapidly warming climate and humans, a new study has shown. Research led by the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) at the University of Adelaide, published today in Science Advances, has revealed that it was only when the climate warmed, long after humans first arrived in Patagonia, did the...
Last Three: Can Stem Cell Save Northern White Rhinos From Extinction?

Nature World News: In a quest to halt mammalian extinction, scientists are using stem cells and assisted reproduction technology. But with only three northern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) left, can science save them from completely vanishing? Sudan, Najin and Fatu--who are kept at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya--cannot breed naturally because they are related. It is with this situation that scientists came up with an audacious plan to save them from the brink of extinction. According to EcoWatch.com,...

New study finds evidence for a 'fast' dinosaur extinction
2016-06-15 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Boring is beautiful when youre studying a calamity, especially one as spectacular as the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. Thats because exciting sediments, full of variations and gaps, make it hard to disentangle the extinction signal from the noise of natural variability. So you could say that James Witts, of the University of Leeds in the UK, lucked-out with an especially boring batch of sediments in Seymour Island on the Antarctic Peninsula (the part on the map that points up...

Climate change hastens extinction of pawikan

Business Mirror: Climate change is partly being blamed for the dwindling global population of marine turtles. Conservation experts in the Turtle Islands Wildlife Sanctuary (TIWS) suggest that the problem could be worse. They said El Nio and beach erosion caused by climate change-triggered effects, such as sea-level rise and storm surges because of the intensifying typhoons, might hasten the extinction of these mysterious creatures of the sea. The downtrend in the number of nesting marine turtles and eggs in...

Dinosaur Extinction Event Took Out Polar Creatures, Too

United Press International: Whether caused by asteroid or volcanism -- or both -- scientists now know few places on Earth offered safety from the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs. An extensive survey of ancient marine fossils from the Antarctic Peninsula proves the ecosystems to the south suffered considerably during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. The survey included 6,000 marine fossils dated to between 69 million and 65 million years old. A wide range of species and sizes were included -- from sea...
