"Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change," a brief communication in the journal Nature Climate Change. There's a map showing regions of the world, and pie charts of relevant studies as they apply to different health impacts like "heat-related deaths" and "maternal and child health"

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I want to know the answer to this!

Conservation physiology researchers typically use lab or field-based approaches, which are often seen as polar and distinct. This review advocates for an integrative approach across the lab-field continuum, to better inform conservation policy and practice.

Prevalence and implications of sex reversal in free-living birds | Biology Letters The ability to unequivocally identify the sex and reproductive status of individuals is crucial across many fields of study. Recent evidence indicates that avian sex determination is more flexible tha...

Newest lab research:
Up to 6% of the wild birds - in all 5 species we looked at - showed a different sex morphology than what their blood tests (read: chromosomes) told us. Sex is not simple!

White-nose syndrome is a major threat to hibernating bats. This new research suggests that tri-colored bats with thermally unstable roosts may be less susceptible to white-nose syndrome due to their behavioural and roosting characteristics.

Fire suppression makes wildfires more severe and accentuates impacts of climate change and fuel accumulation - Nature Communications Fire suppression removes less-extreme wildfires, concentrating fires under extreme conditions. The authors use model simulations to show how this “suppression bias” intensifies fire behavior and effec...

"The result is akin to the over-prescription of antibiotics: in our attempt to eliminate all [forest] fires, we have only eliminated the less intense fires and instead selected for primarily the most extreme events and created higher fuel loads and more suppression-resistant fires."🧪🌏
