New study finds that the nutritional value of prey within a single species can widely vary, offering key insights for food web dynamics and ecosystem change The hunt is on and a predator finally zeroes in on its prey. The animal consumes the nutritious meal and moves on to forage for its next target. But how much prey does a predator need to consume? Following a period of massive starvation among animals living along the California coast, University of California…
A major challenge for renewable energies is finding a way to store them in the medium term. Simple, cost-effective solutions are needed, so that, for example,…
“The troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather conditions take place, has warmed by 0.25 to 0.35 degrees per decade since the…
The same perturbations of the Earth's magnetic field that lit up the sky for Lojewski's camera were also captured by seismometers on the ground, a team of…
The Arctic sea-ice extent is as low as it has never been for the month of July since the beginning of satellite observation. The sea-ice retreat is especially…
