In a first-of-its-kind study, Stanford researchers have measured how the abundance of ocean life has changed over the past ...

Rising mountains do more than reshape the landscape – they also drive evolutionary change, according to a new study. By simulating millions of years of tectonic uplift, researchers have ...

As tectonic plates clash and pull apart, sea levels change. This process has shaped marine biodiversity over time, a new study suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Reconstructed species richness over time across the IAA under intermediate rates of extinction scenario for eight taxonomic groups: (1) crabs, (2) parachuting frogs, (3) Pseuduvaria treelets, (4 ...

Earth’s surface is the “living skin” of our planet—it connects the physical, chemical, and biological systems. Over geological time, landscapes change as this surface evolves, regulating the carbon ...

Tech & Science Landscape alterations connect to the evolution of biodiversity. The model connects physical, chemical and biological systems over half a billion years in five-million-year chunks at ...

Rodrigues has been doing fieldwork for more than 40 years, and this time he was leading a team of 14 researchers on a 12-day camping expedition at the top of a nearly 1,900-meter (6,200-foot) peak.

The research looked at peaks in biodiversity loss and their relationship with atmospheric CO2, finding 50 events over the last 534 million years that can be considered mass extinctions.

The proposal to add an Anthropocene Epoch to the geological time scale was rejected for a variety of reasons, none of them related to the fact that human societies are changing this planet. In ...

Biodiversity accounting measures changes in the diversity of species and ecosystems over time. It involves gathering data on species variety, abundance, distribution and habitats.
