Its mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to biopersity. The scope of their work is huge, covering oceans, forests, wildlife, fresh water, climate and food. They support some of the most endangered animals today – giant pandas, tigers, elephants, gorillas, sea...
The acquisition of photosynthesis is a fundamental step in the evolution of eukaryotes. However, few phototrophic organisms are unambiguously recognized in the Precambrian record. The in situ detection of metabolic byproducts in individual microfossils i
the proximity of the supermoon can have a direct effect on the Earth, specifically with the tides. Tides are caused by the gravitational interplay of the sun and moon on Earth's oceans. The tides are highest during a new and a full moon, and...
Tardigrades can also weather many noxious chemicals, boiling alcohol, the low pressure of a vacuum, and can survive six times the pressure of the deepest part of the oceans. Add to that the fact that these creatures can take ultraviolet radiation and survive the vacuum of space and you've ...
one of the largest chaetognaths known, living or fossil. At more than 500 million years old, Capinatator is thought to be a forerunner of the smaller chaetognaths that are abundant in today’s oceans, where they make up a large portion of the world’s plankton and the ocean food chain...
The oldest coral fossils are over 500 million years old. The earliest forms were different from those we see today and they died out 225 million years ago. Modern corals are still common in tropical oceans. Shark Teeth Is one of the numerous teeth of a shark. A shark tooth contains resist...
Hanging over the world's major cities, a brown haze of smog traps the warmth from sun. Acting like a warming blanket, this haze has a substantial impact on the climate. However, the chemical complexity of the haze makes it hard to separate out the compounds that absorb the sunlight from ...
This agrees with the early occurrence of sulfate reducers in the geological record as inferred from published microscopic pyrite data, and identifies their role as important in both global oceans and local basins in the Paleoarchean.Roerdink, D.L.Mason, P.R.D.Farquhar, J.Reimer, T....
