Reconstructions of climate over the past millennium provide context for disentangling anthropogenic forcing from natural multidecadal variability. However, the strength of the east-west tropical Pacif...

The Stanford University breakthrough stands to open new doors for research into fatal neurodegenerative diseases

Despite an extensive history of study, quantitative constraints on the thermophysiology of Tyrannosaurus rex remain limited. Here, we derive a thermodynamically based determination of T. rex body temp...

Members of the Globigerinoides ruber complex were amongst the earliest foraminifera taxa defined by d'Orbigny in the early 19thcentury. Yet, due their morphological similarity, differentiated only by ...

Experts said the drop in numbers is ‘disappointing’

Chemicals in the fossils of the hyena’s prey help palaeontologists reconstruct the mosaic landscape it inhabited.

Tropical Atlantic nitrogen isotope records show that N₂ fixation was reduced during the warm late Pliocene due to decreased global water column denitrification. It increased as Earth cooled into the P...

Newly discovered figurines point to skills that might have helped shape early humans’ expansion across Europe.

The marine sedimentary biomarker pool receives membrane lipids from multiple archaeal groups and sources living throughout the water column and sediments, as well as bacterial lipids from marine and terrestrial sources. Understanding the contribution of these different inputs is essential for interpreting TEX86 paleotemperatures and other lipid-based paleoclimate proxies. Credit: Elling et al. [2026], Figure 13

Twentieth-century North American reforestation as an historical analogue for examining Natural Climate Solutions, McDermid, Sonali Shukla, Cook, Benjamin I., Singh, Ram, Harper, Anna, Lombardozzi, Danica

Opposing wet and dry conditions in Central and mainland Southeast Asia over the past millennium were controlled by climate variability over the Pacific and Indian oceans, a pattern likely to become mo...

Nature Ecology & Evolution - A reconstruction of the evolutionary history of passerine body plans over the past ~50 Myr shows rare bursts of phenotypic innovation near the origin of major...

Increasing instability of the ocean, ice and atmosphere threatens farming, finance and society. We all need to wake up to that fact.
