Thinking about the Biodiversity Loss in This Changing World

Pædiatrics in This Changing World

I BELIEVE that there are times when it is useful and helpful to review certain aspects of medicine, and the changes that have occurred in paediatrics during the past four decades are such, I think, as to warrant some evaluation of the present position and an attempt perhaps to forecast the future position of paediatrics within the framework of general medicine. Certain diseases which were commo...

Cryptic biodiversity in a changing world

DNA studies are revealing the extent of hidden, or cryptic, biodiversity. Two new studies challenge paradigms about cryptic biodiversity and highlight the importance of adding a historical and biogeographic dimension to biodiversity research.

Biodiversity matters in a changing world.

It is now widely accepted that the climate of our planet is changing, but it is still hard to predict the consequences of these changes on ecosystems. The impact is worst at the poles, with scientists concerned that impacts at lower latitudes will follow suit. Canada has a great responsibility and potential for studying the effects of climate changes on the ecological dynamics, given its geogra...

Thinking about Change: An Integrative Approach for Examining Cognition in a Changing World.

We are currently experiencing shifts in climate at rates not previously recorded. One important aspect of this change is a tendency toward extremes--extremes in temperature and moisture, both within and among years. Numerous studies focus on the physiological consequences of environmental change, especially in terms of ectothermic taxa's thermal regime and use of habitat. For many species, thou...
