Journal details how global warming will affect the world's fisheries
05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!Watching the ebb and flow of populations of fisheries around the world can provide some insight into understanding the effects of global warming on our planet, according to a group of researchers writing in the summer 2007 issue of Natural Resource Modeling. The fact that fisheries are closely tied to human health and species health across the globe adds to their significance.

- Soot from wood stoves in developing world impacts global warming more than expected
10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!
New measurements of soot produced by traditional cook stoves used in developing countries suggest that these stoves emit more harmful smoke particles and could have a much greater impact on global climate change than previously thought, according to a study scheduled to appear in the Nov. 1 issue of the American Chemical Society journal Environmental Science and Technology.

- Permanent ice fields are resisting global warming
05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
The small ice caps of Mont Blanc and the Dôme du Goûter are not melting, or at least, not yet. This is what CNRS researchers1 have announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research. At very high altitudes -- above 4200 meters -- the accumulation of snow and ice has varied very little since the beginning of the 20th century. But if summer temperatures increase by a few degrees during the 21st century, the melt could become more marked, and could affect the "permanent" ice fields.

- Male circumcision overstated as prevention tool against AIDS
06-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
In new academic research published today in the online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal PLoS ONE, male circumcision is found to be much less important as a deterrent to the global AIDS pandemic than previously thought. The author, John R. Talbott, has conducted statistical empirical research across 77 countries of the world and has uncovered some surprising results.

- Role reversal as humans suck life out of leeches
09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Global warming may be to blame for the gradual extinction of cold-loving species, and the European land leech in particular, according to a study which will be published in the December issue of Springer’s journal Naturwissenschaften. The findings show that human-induced temperature increases over a 40-year period in the Graz region of Austria may have led to the near extinction of the local land leech Xerobdella lecomtei.

- How global is the Global Biodiversity Information Facility?
11-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, and conducted by biologists at the University of Reading and computer scientists at the University of Cardiff, has revealed large gaps in data available to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility -- the world's largest single data network which gives access to millions of current digitised biodiversity records. The paper was published in the Nov. 7 issue of the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE.

- Global warming and other research from UCLA summit featured in journal
12-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Global warming and other human-caused ecological changes are outpacing the ability of species to adapt, resulting in greater threats of disease, reduced diversity in plant and animal communities, and an overall loss of natural heritage, according to research presented at a University of California, Los Angeles, summit and published in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Ecology.
