| Parental experience may help coral offspring survive climate change Posted: 05 Aug 2015 04:17 PM PDT Preconditioning adult corals to increased temperature and ocean acidification resulted in offspring that may be better able to handle those future environmental stressors, a new study shows. This rapid trans-generational acclimatization may be able to 'buy time' for corals in the race against climate change. |
| Ancient Chinese archives track decline of rare apes Posted: 05 Aug 2015 11:48 AM PDT Historical records from China stretching back over 400 years have been used to track changes in the distribution of gibbons, which today are some of China's most threatened species. This is one of the first instances of using ancient historical records to reconstruct the course of extinctions across several centuries. |
| New deep-sea anglerfish discovered in Gulf of Mexico Posted: 05 Aug 2015 08:03 AM PDT They are some of the most interesting and unique creatures in the oceans -- deep-sea life. Most people can identify a shark or sea turtle or whale, but many are shocked to see what a lanternfish or oarfish looks like. Deep-sea creatures can be down-right scary looking. Adding to the list of deep-sea creatures, marine biologists recently found a never-before seen species from the deep waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico. |
