Aphids are sentinels of climate change Aphids are sentinels of climate change, researchers at Rothamsted Research have shown. One of the UK's most damaging aphids -- the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae) -- has been found to be flying two weeks earlier for every 1°C rise in mean tempe

Rare Antarctic fossils reveal extinction of tundra before full polar climate arrived An unusual and amazing discovery of fossilized plants and insects in an ice-free region of Antarctica reveals the last traces of tundra before a dramatic and abrupt cooling some 14 million years ago. An international team, led by earth scientist Robert Ma

Patagonian glacier yields clues for improved understanding of global climate change An expedition in 2005 by an IRD team and its partners on the San Valentin glacier in the Chilean part of Patagonia demonstrated the potential of that site for exploring climatic variations of the past. The analyses gave the first evidence of influences fr
