In the January issue of Ecosphere, Bouwmeester et al. document the spawning timing of the tropical coral P. verrucosa in the central Red Sea, on reefs both from western reefs (i.e., Sudan) and from eastern reefs (i.e., Saudi Arabia), reporting for the ﬁrst time coral reproduction in Sudan with individuals from both coasts of the central Red Sea spawning within a 25-day window in the spring, following a period of rapidly increasing water temperatures.

New study reveals biodiversity important at regional scales

Research shows that biodiversity is important not just at the traditional scale of short-term plot experiments, but also when measured over decades and across regional landscapes as well.

Biodiversity protects bee communities from disease, U-M study concludes

University of Michigan researchers netted and trapped more than 4,000 bees from 60 species to discover that the most diverse bee communities have the lowest levels of three common viral pathogens.

Shrinking shark numbers on Great Barrier Reef unlikely to have cascading impacts

University of Queensland researchers offer new evidence suggesting that the ongoing overexploitation of ocean predators on the northern Great Barrier Reef is unlikely to have cascading impacts on corals. The findings introduce new layers of complexity to the paradigm of reef sharks being regarded as apex predators.

Small mammals climb higher to flee warming temperatures in the Rockies

In a new study spanning nearly 13 years, researchers at UC Boulder discovered that the ground squirrel has joined many other small mammals in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains that are making an ominous trek: They’re climbing uphill to avoid warming temperatures in the state brought on by climate change.
