PhysOrg: Recently the team discovered that two distantly related tree species use the same genes to adapt to the range of temperatures in their geographical region. Their results were published Thursday in the journal Science. Jason Holliday, an associate professor of forest resources and environmental conservation in the College of Natural Resources and Environment and a Fralin Life Science Institute affiliate, as well as Haktan Suren, a Ph.D. candidate from the same department in the Genetics, Bioinformatics...

Washington Pot: Tackling climate change is the challenge of the century. But when it comes to endangered wildlife, scientists are arguing that weve got more pressing matters to worry about. A new comment just out today in the journal Nature contends that practices like hunting, fishing and agriculture are still the biggest threats to biodiversity on Earth -- and we need to be careful not to let our concern about climate change overshadow our efforts to address them. To be clear, the comment merely reflects the...

CBS: The fish population in New Jersey waters is growing more diverse, and a Rutgers University scientist says climate change is driving it. Dr. Ken Able is the director of Rutgers University`s marine field station in Tuckerton, where for 27 years, they`ve been studying the baby fish that come into the Little Egg Inlet. "And we have a distinct trend, he says. We have warming water temperatures, and we have fewer northern species and we have more southern species. And there`s good data to support...
