Volcanic activity alters the Earth’s surface and promotes the development of new ecosystems, providing valuable models for studying soil formation processes such as microbial composition and vegetation succession. Increasing evidence suggests that soil microbes are pivotal in numerous ecological and biogeochemical processes, encompassing carbon mineralization, humus formation, and nutrient cycling.
Mario Yanez, another biologist from Inabio, said his current work revolves around finding ‘windows of opportunity’ to continue researching despite the violence. Biologist Cesar Garzon was searching for a small, endangered parakeet in southern Ecuador when he was warned he may be kidnapped, highlighting the danger for scientists in the biodiverse country engulfed in narco
A graph showing the change in global flood hazard under low (SSP1-2.6) and high (SSP5-8.5) climate scenarios expressed as the sum of A total, B fluvial (river), C pluvial (rainfall) and D coastal average annual flood volume. Shading represents the likely (17-83% chance) range based on climatological uncertainty (i.e. uncertainty in the historical baseline period

The findings, by Chinese researchers and the UK Met Office, were published in the journal Science. They provide the first systematic observational evidence that
Domestic chickens were analyzed in different scenarios which evoked varied emotions and found to display facial redness (blushing) and facial feather fluffing. Happy, relaxed birds showed preening behaviors and facial feather fluffing. Happy, excited birds displayed slight blushing, while in fearfully excited birds, strong facial blushing was observed.

For those who know what they’re doing, it won’t make much of a difference. New research from the University of Toronto engaging nearly
