Flu is not to blame for excess winter deaths
Cold weather rather than influenza is to blame for excess deaths and demands on health services in winter, according to a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-09)
Symbiotic fungi promote invasion into diverse plant communities (Rudgers et al.)
Populations of several European passerines that winter south of the Sahara have undergone a marked decline. The causes of negative population trends are largely unknown, but ecological conditions during winter in Africa may have carry-over effects during northward spring migration and reproduction. In the January issue of Ecology Letters, Saino,... view more... (2003-12-10)

Portugal and Spain most at risk from excess winter deaths in Europe
Portugal and Spain are the European countries most at risk from an excess of winter deaths, reveals research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. These countries are rarely thought to be at risk, because of their mild winter climates, say the authors, a notion that is “highly mistaken.” view more (2003-09-25)
This grass is still greener
In areas of the U.S. where golfers can enjoy the game year-round, winter temperatures, foot and equipment traffic, and frost can wreak havoc on healthy greens and present challenges for course managers and owners. view more (2009-02-27)

You are less likely to survive a heart attack in winter than in summer
Almost 11,000 people who had suffered a heart attack between 1988 and 1997 were compared. Those whose attacks occurred in the winter tended to have a higher risk profile, in that they were older, more likely to be at home when the attack occurred, and less likely to be defibrillatedgiven an electrical current to stop abnormal heart rhythms.... view more...

Chasing thundersnow could lead to more accurate forecasts
The job of one University of Missouri researcher could chill to the bone, but his research could make weather predicting more accurate. view more (2009-01-14)
Hibernation-like behavior in Antarctic fish -- on ice for winter
Scientists have discovered an Antarctic fish species that adopts a winter survival strategy similar to hibernation. Reporting this week in the journal PLoS ONE, the online journal from the Public Library of Science, scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of Birmingham reveal, for the first time, that the Antarctic 'cod'... view more...
