Environmental News Network: In the battle between native and invasive wetland plants, a new Duke University study finds climate change may tip the scales in favor of the invaders -- but it's going to be more a war of attrition than a frontal assault. "Changing surface-water temperatures, rainfall patterns and river flows will likely give Japanese knotweed, hydrilla, honeysuckle, privet and other noxious invasive species an edge over less adaptable native species," said Neal E. Flanagan, visiting assistant professor at the...

Star: Fishing, logging, mining, agriculture and other activities to satisfy our growing appetite for resources are pushing wild species towards extinction. A species of Malaysian microsnail has been declared extinct in the latest Red List of Threatened Species released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Plectostoma sciaphilum, known only from a single limestone hill in Pahang, has disappeared as the outcrop which it inhabited, Bukit Panching near Kuantan, was quarried...
