Marine Species on the Move

Rising temperatures caused by climate change have resulted in a shift in population sizes of marine species - in general, populations are growing at the poles and declining at the equator.

Disappearing Snakes

Thanks to long-term data sets, scientists have been able to document the fact that a snake community plummeted following the wipe out of frogs in Panama due to an invasive fungal pathogen.
