How do organisms react to this rise in temperatures? An international team led by a CNRS researcher from the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology has shown that little auks, the most common seabirds in the Arctic, are adapting their fishing behavior to warming surface waters in the Greenland Sea. So far, their reproductive and survival rates have not been affected. However, further warming could threaten the species.

They were four female thysanopterans, also called thrips, and had pollen grains attached to their bodies, which have been preserved to date in a piece of amber in Álava. It is the oldest evidence of pollination discovered so far —and the only one from the Mesozoic Era— that is now presented in a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and signed by the experts Dr. Enrique Peñalver and Dr. Eduardo Barrón (Geological and Mining Institute of Spain, IGME); Dr. Xavier Delclòs (Department of Stratigraphy, Palentology and Marine Geosciences of the UB), and Dr. Carmen Soriano (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility), among others. less

Indra de Soysa, a professor in the Globalization Programme at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology has studied the impact that aid has on peace and human rights in the receiving countries. His research shows no effect whatsoever on bringing about peace in recipient countries. But he is convinced that Norwegian aid money in Africa is used to buy weapons.
