Australia is protecting an additional 10,000 square miles around two of their islands far to the south, bringing their total marine conservation areas, what they call marine parks, to over half of their territorial waters, more than any other country. Located over 2,000 miles south of the Australian continent, Heard and McDonald Islands make up about 144 square miles of volcanic terrain that represent one of the most remote places on Earth.

Subtropical reef ecosystems with coral communities differ from their tropical coral reef neighbours, as they are shaped by a biogeographical overlap of taxa at their range margins, endemic species and...

Most biodiversity dynamics and ecosystem processes on land take place in microclimates that are decoupled from the climate as measured by standardised weather stations in open, unshaded locations....

Climate change is altering the tree line landscape of the central Himalayas, according to new research. Birch trees, a deciduous broadleaved species that dominates the region, are being replaced by fir, a slow-growing evergreen conifer. This shift is likely to...
