Warming trends, resilience, forecasting, and the data behind a changing climate.
Schmidt Ocean Institute announced 31 previously undescribed marine species from a two-week expedition off Brazil, a rapid burst of discovery from one of Earth’s least familiar habitats. The findings came from an official announcement describing work aboard the research vessel R/V Falkor (too), where an international team explored the ocean’s dim midwater with robotic vehicles…

A study in Communications Earth & Environment found that invasive cichlids in southern China can shift toward poorer food while keeping key omega-3 fatty acids in their tissues unusually steady. The finding adds a nutritional twist to one of freshwater ecology’s hardest problems, why some introduced fish spread so effectively once they enter a new…
A study in Current Biology has found that artificial light spilling into coastal waters can disrupt sleep in coral reef fish, change their nighttime behavior and leave biological signs linked to brain health. The research, led by scientists at Bar-Ilan University, shows how the glow from cities, ports, roads and hotels can reach below the…
A study in Biological Reviews has found that freshwater browning is reshaping fish communities in northern lakes. The research links darker water with slower growth in many fish and with major differences in which species become more common. In many unstocked lakes, that shift could mean fewer trout, bass, perch and whitefish. It could also…
