Scientists find that common floral compounds become more toxic to butterflies at higher temperatures, complicating projections of climate change impacts.
From the warmth of termites hastening wood decomposition to the surprising chill of fungi, our understanding of nature's temperature regulation gets a shake-up.
Alpine plants, according to a recent study, are more at risk from prolonged heatwaves than previously thought, as extended heat exposure lowers the temperature at which critical damage occurs.
Chiminazzo and colleagues shed light on the intriguing survival strategies of woody plants in fire-prone ecosystems, using the Brazilian Cerrado as an example.
As the climate warms, shifts in temperature and water availability, affects competition and interaction among native and exotic plant species in Southern British Columbia.
As climate change narrows seagrass habitats, a surprising twist emerges - the rise of unique species, challenging our understanding of biodiversity and conservation strategies.
Phenocams, cameras that monitor leaf function, offer a promising new method to track and detect the impact of climate change on ecosystems, helping conservation efforts and ensuring long-term resilience.
Scientists are exploring a new way to improve food security in the face of climate change by studying "feral crops" - wild plants that have escaped cultivation and continue to thrive without human intervention.
Botanical gardens provide access to vital plants and water for butterflies in the southwest US. This will only become more important as the climate becomes warmer and drier.
