Une récente étude menée par Dr. Akira Mori et co-écrite par un de nos fondateurs, le Dr. Andrew Gonzalez, démontre que les actions pour atténuer les changements climatiques sont importantes non seulement pour préserver la biodiversité dans nos forêts, mais aussi pour conserver la quantité de ca

University researchers say climate change needs to be taken into greater account when it comes to the creation and management of marine protected areas. Derek Tittensor, an associate professor in Dalhousie University's biology department, was lead author of the recently released paper on the topic.

Scientists, policy makers and journalists are three key, interconnected players involved in prioritizing and implementing solutions to mitigate the consequences of anthropogenic pressures on the environment. The way in which information is framed and expertise is communicated by the media is crucial for political decisions and for the integrated management of environmental issues. Here we present a comparative study of scientific literature and press articles addressing climate change and biodiversity. We extensively scrutinized the scientific literature, research funding and press articles from the USA, Canada and United Kingdom addressing climate change and biodiversity issues between 1991 and 2016.

Selon les autorités, le feu qui sévit dans l’ouest du pays demeure « dangereux et imprévisible ». Les évacuations se poursuivent difficilement.
DocBiodiv's insight:
Pour le climatologue Eric Guilyardi (Locean/CNRS, université de Reading au Royaume-Uni), la sécheresse et les fortes températures, qui contribuent aux feux de forêts ravageant l’Alberta, au Canada, trouvent leur cause dans le phénomène El Niño, particulièrement actif cette année.

Freshwater biodiversity in the Arctic is not fully documented or understood by scientists, particularly in remote and inaccessible areas. However, ongoing climate change is altering Arctic freshwater ecosystems – increasing water temperatures and ice melt rates,… The authors of a new study published in Freshwater Biology suggest that learning from Arctic Indigenous Peoples is critical in informing a better shared understanding of both the historical and current state of Arctic freshwater biodiversity in response to these pressures.
