It has been proposed that fragments of an asteroid or comet impacted Earth, deposited silica-and iron-rich microspherules and other proxies across several continents, and triggered the Younger Dryas cooling
Clouds and aerosol particles have bedevilled climate modellers for decades. Now researchers are starting to gain the upper hand.
In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net
Selectivity patterns provide insights into the causes of ancient extinction events. The Late Ordovician mass extinction was related to Gondwanan glaciation; however, it is still unclear whether elevated
The mysterious Kawasaki disease might cross the Pacific on air currents high in the atmosphere.
Supply of research monkeys to Western labs under threat as airlines react to animal-rights campaign.
One potential impact from greenhouse-gas emissions is increasing damage from extreme events. Here, we quantify how climate change may affect tropical cyclone damage. We find that future increases in income
Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne diseases and the role of ready-to-eat products including plantderived food is increasingly recognized. The present survey reviewed recent literature on Salmonella-related
