New Study Challenges 'Sixth Mass Extinction' Claim
A new study published in PLOS Biology refutes claims of a sixth mass extinction, finding that while biodiversity loss is real, extinction rates of plants and animals don't match those of past mass extinctions, with only 102 genera going extinct in the last 500 years, mostly on islands.

Climate Change Drives 25-38% Decline in Tropical Bird Populations
A new study reveals that extreme heat events, exacerbated by climate change, have reduced tropical bird populations by 25% to 38% between 1950 and 2020, with the most dramatic effects seen in pristine rainforests, underscoring the urgent need for greenhouse gas emission reduction.

Vibrio pectenicida Identified as Culprit in Sunflower Sea Star Mass Die-Off
A strain of the bacterium Vibrio pectenicida has been identified as the cause of a sea star wasting disease epidemic that has killed 5.8 billion sunflower sea stars (90% of the global population) since 2013, impacting kelp forests and the broader marine ecosystem.

Frog Sauna Saves Amphibians from Deadly Fungus
Australian researcher Anthony Waddle developed a "frog sauna" using Besser blocks and greenhouses to treat chytrid fungus infections in frogs, successfully saving numerous amphibians during winter when the fungus thrives. The treatment involves creating a humid, warm environment to kill the fungus, ...
