Red-eyed treefrogs
Red-eyed treefrog eggs hatch a plan to escape warming temperatures
July 12, 2024
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) shows that red-eyed treefrog embryos hatch early when exposed to high ammonia levels — an environmental cue that it’s too hot and dry for the eggs to survive.
Cooling CO2 Emissions
Can we reduce carbon dioxide emissions by simply allowing forests to recover?
September 13, 2024
Regrowing tropical forests emit significantly lower soil carbon dioxide than cattle pastures.
Leatherback migrations
Leatherback sea turtle behavior: stay near home or set off across the ocean?
October 30, 2024
