Climate variability poses a threat to cold blooded animals, research indicates

March 20, 2026 Phys Org

A new Murdoch University study has found that cold-blooded animals (ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly vulnerable as climate change drives even greater temperature […]

Ecology

Moss-associated nitrogen fixation helps sustain plant growth in warming permafrost ecosystems

March 20, 2026 Phys Org

Climate warming can increase plant growth in permafrost regions by lengthening the growing season, speeding up plant metabolic processes, and allowing deeper root penetration as permafrost thaws. However, the capacity for additional vegetation to offset […]

Two new fungi species uncovered in Australian herbarium using DNA sequencing

March 20, 2026 Phys Org

Scientists at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Australia have described two new species of fungi, Peziza austroechinospora and Peziza meridionalis with the assistance of DNA sequencing, highlighting how modern science is revealing vast, hidden biodiversity beneath […]

Ecology

How clonal raider ants update their friend-or-foe recognition

March 20, 2026 Phys Org

For ants, the ability to instantly distinguish nestmates from outsiders who might hijack the colony is crucial. Now, a new study shows that the system that ants use to determine who belongs in the colony […]
