Climate change is faster in Arctic than in any other location on EarthSeptember 13th, 2009 WASHINGTON - Researchers at the University of Helsinki in Finland have participated in two new studies, which indicate that climate change is progressing faster in Arctic areas than in any other location on Earth. The study results indicate that the Arctic eco-system has experienced immense changes in the last twenty years.

Radio telemetry used to track movement of the roadrunnerAugust 2nd, 2009 WASHINGTON - A team of scientists, using radio telemetry, has tracked the movement of the roadrunner and studied its ecology and habitat. The study was lead by Dr.
Noise pollution negatively influences bird populationsJuly 26th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new University of Colorado at Boulder study shows the strongest evidence yet that noise pollution negatively influences bird populations. The three-year study compared nesting birds inhabiting pinyon-juniper woodland sites surrounding natural gas extraction sites and their noise-producing compressors with birds nesting in adjacent, quieter woodland sites.
Noise pollution affects birds' nesting habitsJuly 24th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A new study has come up with the strongest evidence yet that noise pollution negatively influences the nesting habits of birds. The study also indicates that at least a few species opt for noisy areas over quiet ones, perhaps because of their vocalisation pitches, a reduction in nest predators and less competition from other song birds that prefer quiet environments.
Looking different improves 'survival' among animals of same speciesJuly 24th, 2009 WASHINGTON - If you are confused as to why animals of the same species sometimes look very different from each other, biologists in England have an answer. Writing in the latest issue of Evolution, University of York experts have used the term 'exuberant polymorphisms' for this natural phenomenon.
Oldest falcon nest found in GreenlandJune 18th, 2009 LONDON - The oldest nest used by falcons, dating back to even before the time of Jesus, has been discovered in Greenland. Gyrfalcons, the world's largest species of falcon, still continually use the nesting site on a precarious cliff edge.
Birds use different calls to mob predatorJune 9th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A Swedish study from Uppsala University has shown that Siberian jays use over a dozen different calls to communicate the level of danger and predator category to other members of their own group when mobbing predators. The new study has shown that birds have evolved call systems that are as sophisticated as those of primates and meerkats.
Predators tend to ignore peculiar preyMay 13th, 2009 WASHINGTON - In a new research, scientists have determined that predators looking out for prey that looks like the majority, are bound to ignore those animals which are unique and pecuilar. The research, done by Benjamin Fitzpatrick, from the University of Tennessee, US, along with Kim Shook and Reuben Izally, took salamanders into account.
Mercury levels in Arctic seals may be linked to global warmingMay 4th, 2009 WASHINGTON - In a new study, researchers in Canada are reporting for the first time that high mercury levels in certain Arctic seals appear to be linked to vanishing sea ice caused by global warming. The study, by scientist Gary Stern and his colleagues, provides a new insight into the impact of climate change on Arctic marine life.
