Carbon turns over much faster through basal food-chain levels in aquatic than in terrestrial ecosystems
Global temperatures have increased dramatically over the past century, which is causing major impacts on climate patterns, ocean circulation and wildlife preservation. The increase in temperature is largely due to a rise of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which CO2 is one of the most important. To understand the capacity of ecosystems to sequester excesses of atmospheric CO2 and... View More (2004-02-25)
Billion-year revision of plant evolution timeline may stem from discovery of lignin in seaweed
Land plants' ability to sprout upward through the air, unsupported except by their own woody tissues, has long been considered one of the characteristics separating them from aquatic plants, which rely on water to support them. View More (2009-01-27)
Warming temperatures cause aquatic animals to shrink the most
Warmer temperatures cause greater reduction in the adult sizes of aquatic animals than in land-dwellers in a new study by scientists from Queen Mary, University of London and the University of Liverpool. View More (2012-11-06)
Aquatic Life Declines at Early Stages of Urban Development
The number of native fish and aquatic insects, especially those that are pollution sensitive, declines in urban and suburban streams at low levels of development - levels often considered protective for stream communities, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Aquatic food web tied to land
A distant relative of shrimp, zooplankton are an important food source for fish and other aquatic animals. View More (2011-01-24)
Study assesses impact of fish stocking on aquatic insects
The impact fish stocking has on aquatic insects in mountain lakes can be rapidly reversed by removing non-native trout, according to a study completed by U.S. Forest Service and University of California, Davis, scientists. View More (2009-03-27)
Found: First lungless frog
Researchers have confirmed the first case of complete lunglessness in a frog, according to a report in the April 8th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. The aquatic frog Barbourula kalimantanensis apparently gets all the oxygen it needs through its skin. View More (2008-04-08)
Rare Alpine Insect May Disappear with Glaciers
Loss of glaciers and snowpack due to climate warming in alpine regions is putting pressure on a rare aquatic insect, the meltwater stonefly, according to a study recently released in Climatic Change Letters. View More (2011-04-05)
Aquatic therapy soon after total knee arthroplasty improves outcomes
Despite increased use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a notable lack of consensus about optimal postoperative treatment. View More (2011-12-21)
Fish jump into picture of evolutionary land invasion
Research sometimes means looking for one thing and finding another. Such was the case when biology professor Alice Gibb and her research team at Northern Arizona University witnessed a small amphibious fish, the mangrove rivulus, jump with apparent skill and purpose out of a small net and back into the water.

A regular dip could benefit fibromyalgia sufferers
Patients suffering from fibromyalgia could benefit significantly from regular exercise in a heated swimming pool, a study published today in the open access journal Arthritis Research & Therapy shows. View More (2008-02-22)
Polar pecking order and biodiversity
New research into how biodiversity is generated and maintained in the seas surrounding hostile Polar Regions is reported in this month`s Proceedings of the Royal Society (Biological Sciences). British Antarctic Survey biologist David Barnes studied `battles` between rock-dwelling marine organisms in shallow seas from the Poles to tropics to come up with a `league table` and a `polar pecking...

Research shows the response of the carbon cycle to climate change
Marine and freshwater environments have the potential to release more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere in a warmer climate than their land counterparts, scientists at Queen Mary, University of London have found. View More (2012-06-21)
The emerging scientific discipline of aeroecology
In the history of science and technology, there is an infrequent combination of empirical discoveries, theories and technology developments converge that make it possible to recognize a new discipline. View More (2008-08-04)
Bionic microrobot mimics the 'water strider' and walks on water
Scientists are reporting development of a new aquatic microrobot that mimics the amazing water-walking abilities of the water strider - the long-legged insect that scoots across the surface of ponds, lakes and other waterways. View More (2011-07-28)
Natural-born divers and the molecular traces of evolution
An aquatic lifestyle imposes serious demands for the organism, and this is true even for the tiniest molecules that form our body. View More (2009-06-29)
Popular insecticide detected in suburban stream beds
For the first time, researchers have detected high concentrations of a popular insecticide in suburban stream sediments, raising concerns about its effects on aquatic life. View More (2005-10-27)

New AQUIRE database on STN: Toxic Effects of Chemicals to Aquatic Organisms
Karlsruhe, October 2002 - FIZ Karlsruhe, European partner of STN International, one of the world's leading online providers of scientific and technical information, has announced the launch of the AQUIRE database. AQUIRE contains scientific papers published both nationally and internationally on the toxic effects of chemicals to aquatic organisms and plants. Recently, ecotoxicology data has...

Morphology of fossil salamanders reflects climate change
A fossil record of the Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) shows population-wide changes in body size and morphology in response to climate change over the last 3,000 years. View More (2005-09-13)
