Lizards Give Birth to Their Young Like Mammal, Evolutionary Genes May be the Key

Scientists are studying lizards' evolution of birth, from laying of eggs to live births and they have succeeded in pinpointing the evolutionary genes from which the species is developing in order to 'build' a new way they reproduce. The study discovered that a remarkably close amount of the same genes involved in the lizards' pregnancy were distributed between other mammals and vertebrates that bear their young. ....

University of Glasgow - University news - International Experts Launch First Global Initiative to Map Ungulate Migrations

Issued: Fri, 07 May 2021 07:30:00 BST
An international team of 91 scientists and conservationists, including from the University of Glasgow, has joined forces to create the first-ever global atlas of ungulate (hooved mammal) migrations, working in partnership with the United Nations’ Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).
The detailed maps of the seasonal movements of herds worldwide will help governments, indigenous people and local communities, planners, and wildlife managers to identify current and future threats to migrations, and advance conservation measures to sustain them in the face of an expanding human footprint.
The Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration (GIUM) was launched with the publication of a commentary titled “Mapping out a future for ungulate migrations,” in the May 7 issue of the journal Science. ....

Clown fish metabolism slows when coral homes damaged by climate change – study

Climate change damage to the homes of clown fish can have a negative impact on their physiology, according to new research.
Scientists studied what happens to clown fish, known from the film Finding Nemo, living in bleached coral reefs.
Mass coral bleaching is the result of extreme heatwaves caused by worldwide climate change.
The study found that the fish, also known as anemone fish, living in bleached anemones for longer than a month progressively decreased their metabolism, had less growth and modified their behaviour to become less active.
The research was led by an international team of scientists from the University of Glasgow and researchers from France, Chile and Denmark, and was carried out at Criobe (Centre for Island Research and Environmental Observatory) in French Polynesia. ....

University of Glasgow - University news - Climate change damage to the homes of clownfish affects their physiology

Issued: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 05:00:00 GMT
The metabolism of clownfish – or anemonefish – decreases when their sea ‘homes’ are damaged by climate change, according to a new study.
The research – led by an international team of scientists from the University of Glasgow and CRIOBE, and published today in
Functional Ecology – found that exposure to bleached coral reefs can have a negative effect on the physiology and growth of anemonefish.
The study found that anemonefish living in bleached anemones for longer than a month progressively decreased their metabolism, had less growth and modified their behavior to become less active.
Mass coral bleaching is the result of extreme heat waves caused by worldwide climate change. On tropical reefs, anemones are home to anemonefishes. When anemones bleach, they don’t just lose their color, but also the algae that live in their tissues that provide energy to anemones and also anemonefishes. ....
