Hence the wide range of estimates for the planet's biodiversity, predicted to be between 2 million and 50 million species. http://www.huliq.com/11/83328/more-precise-estimates-biodiversity-provided-new-theory#comments Science Biodiversity Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:56:14 -0500 harminka 83328 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82435/scientists-discover-early-warning-signs-ecosystems-risk Scientists have unearthed striking evidence for a sudden ancient collapse in plant biodiversity. A trove of 200 million-year-old fossil leaves collected in East Greenland tells the story, carrying its message across time to us today. http://www.huliq.com/11/82435/scientists-discover-early-warning-signs-ecosystems-risk#comments Science Biodiversity ecosystem global warming Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:34:46 -0500 harminka 82435 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/77371/biodiversity-itself-begets-species-cascade Biodiversity feeds on itself, researchers found, as evolving animals open niches for other new species. Such is the case, says a Michigan State University researcher, with a parasite found to be evolving in sequence with an emerging host insect in western Michigan apple trees. http://www.huliq.com/11/77371/biodiversity-itself-begets-species-cascade#comments Science animals Biodiversity Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:42:34 -0600 harminka 77371 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/77173/host-shift-triggers-cascading-effect-ecosystem-research-finds A major cause for biodiversity may be biodiversity itself, says evolutionary ecologist Andrew Forbes of the University of California, Davis, whose newly published research shows that when the apple maggot shifted hosts from the hawthorn to the apple, that triggered a cascading effect on the ecosystem. http://www.huliq.com/11/77173/host-shift-triggers-cascading-effect-ecosystem-research-finds#comments Science Biodiversity ecosystem Fri, 06 Feb 2009 10:12:38 -0600 harminka 77173 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76561/global-impact-climate-change-biodiversity When three undergraduates set off on an expedition in 1965 to trap moths on Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, little did they realise that they were establishing the groundwork for a study of the impacts of climate change. http://www.huliq.com/11/76561/global-impact-climate-change-biodiversity#comments Science Biodiversity climate change Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:47:43 -0600 harminka 76561 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76045/biodiversity-passes-taste-test-and-healthier-too Cattle and sheep grazed on natural grasslands help maintain biodiversity and produce tastier, healthier meat, according to a study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). http://www.huliq.com/11/76045/biodiversity-passes-taste-test-and-healthier-too#comments Science Biodiversity Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:17:15 -0600 harminka 76045 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75573/abundance-ladybugs-olive-orchards-indicator-health Present concern for the negative environmental impacts and growing demand for organic olive oil, arise the need to develop useful indicators of agroecosystem health in olive-growing regions. http://www.huliq.com/11/75573/abundance-ladybugs-olive-orchards-indicator-health#comments Health Biodiversity environmental impacts olive oil Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:28:13 -0600 harminka 75573 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74049/forest-inventories-oregon-include-more-trees First report on the state provides information on biomass, carbon stocks, wood volume, biodiversity, disturbance, and more http://www.huliq.com/11/74049/forest-inventories-oregon-include-more-trees#comments Science Biodiversity Biomass forests Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:52:57 -0600 harminka 74049 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/71675/amphibians-ability-predict-changes-biodiversity Biologists have long suspected that amphibians, whose moist permeable skins make them susceptible to slight changes in the environment, might be good bellwethers for impending alterations in biodiversity during rapid climate change. http://www.huliq.com/11/71675/amphibians-ability-predict-changes-biodiversity#comments Science amphibians Biodiversity climate change Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:50:14 -0500 harminka 71675 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/70390/biodiversity-warmer-world Will climate change exceed life's ability to respond?
