A recent study carried out by the University of Vienna, in which the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) participated, discloses that fishes living in the dark part of the oceans (primarily below 200 m depth in the water column) will likely decrease in size as the climate warms, potentially having significant ecological impacts.
In the perpetual arms races between bacteria and human-made antibiotics, there is a new tool to give human medicine the edge, in part by revealing bacterial weaknesses and potentially by leading to more targeted or new treatments for bacterial infections.
A new study demonstrates that climate change will cause the temperature in the Antarctic Peninsula to increase by 0.5°C to 1.5°C by 2044. The study involved an analysis of historic and predicted simulations from 19 global climate models.
