Dragonfly Species-Climate Change

Standing still in running water: Lotic dragon and damselfly species less able to adapt to climate change

A new study throws light on the capability of individual dragonfly species to track Climate Change. The authors show that dragonfly species which breed in pools and ponds are better able to cope with climate change than species whose habitats are streams and rivers. The results are based on a comparison of the projected and observed distributions of European dragonfly species in 2006 and 1988. read more..

Sense Of Fairness-Climate Change-Science Team-Playground-Earth

NASA map sees Earth's trees in a new light

A Nasa-led science team has created an accurate, high-resolution map of the height of Earth's forests. The map will help scientists better understand the role forests play in climate change and how their heights influence wildlife habitats within them, while also helping them quantify the carbon stored in Earth's vegetation. read more..
