Six roads to safety: A critical threshold for wildfire survival
Six roads to safety: A critical threshold for wildfire survival Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor If your community was threatened by a wildfire, would you be able to quickly evacuate? A new study from UC Santa Barbara reveals that the number of roads out of a community may be one of the strongest predictors of wildfire fatalities, and that a surprisingly specific threshold separates high-risk communities from safer ones. Published in Proceedings of the National...
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
Europe's aversion to eating insects may have deep ecological and evolutionary roots
Europe's aversion to eating insects may have deep ecological and evolutionary roots Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor In recent years, human population growth, coupled with the climate crisis, environmental pressures, and current production and consumption patterns, has driven the search for alternative food sources. With 1,611 insect species listed as edible, organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have proposed...
Nine decades of changing insect diversity in Switzerland expose a striking divide
Nine decades of changing insect diversity in Switzerland expose a striking divide Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Thanks to a historical data archive, Swiss researchers are able to draw conclusions about the changes in the diversity of two insect groups over the past 90 years. The study, led by Agroscope, identified a significant decline in butterflies and deadwood beetle species around the middle of the 20th century. These groups live predominantly in agricultural...
A hidden pollutant is changing how the world's forests breathe
A hidden pollutant is changing how the world's forests breathe - Date: - June 2, 2026 - Source: - Aarhus University - Summary: - A massive global analysis found that nitrogen pollution can either speed up or dramatically slow the natural "breathing" of forest soils, depending on the ecosystem's condition. The results reveal hidden tipping points that could affect how forests store carbon and cope with climate change. - Share: For centuries, forests have followed a remarkably consistent rhythm.
Scientists map more than 200 years of nature's progress
Scientists map more than 200 years of nature's progress Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Armed with trail cameras, artificial intelligence, and a powerful national research network, scientists are revisiting Lewis and Clark's legendary journey to see how America's wildlife has changed over the past 200 years. The University of Missouri is among 55 institutions partnering with the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute on the Lewis and Clark Trail...
