Latest: Global warming spells bad news for tropical insects

TROPICAL insects, amphibians and reptiles will probably never enjoy the status of an environmental poster child, but global warming's impact on them can't be ignored.

Warming bigger risk to species in tropical than in tundra

BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Global warming could pose a greater risk to tropical insects and other species sensitive to the slightest shifts in temperature than to creatures living in the world's tundra,scientists warnedin the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Tuesday.

Bee species outnumber mammals and birds combined

Scientists have discovered that there are more bee species than previously thought. In the first global accounting of bee species in over a hundred years, John S. Ascher, a research scientist in the Division of Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History, compiled online species pages and distribution maps for more than 19,200 described bee species, showcasing the diversity of these essential pollinators. This new species inventory documents 2,000 more described, valid species than estimated by Charles Michener in the first edition of his definitive The Bees of the World published eight years ago.

Global warming: tropical species at greater risk of extinction

Washington (PTI): Tropical species are likely to face the greatest peril due to the negative effects of climate change, researchers at the University of Washington have suggested.

NEW RESEARCH: Global warming might be greatest threat to tropical species

Tropical species are accustomed to living in a small temperature range and thus may be unable to cope with changes of even a few degrees.

Scientists: Warming may greatest threat to tropical species

While global warming is expected to be strongest at the poles, it may be an even greater threat to species living in the tropics, scientists say.

Trouble In Paradise: Global Warming A Greater Danger To Tropical Species

Polar bears fighting for survival in the face of a rapid decline of polar ice have made the Arctic a poster child for the negative effects of climate change. But new research shows that species living in the tropics likely face the greatest peril in a warmer world.

JupiterResearch Finds That Few US Online Retailers Are Truly Global Despite Rising Interest in Global Expansion

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2008--JupiterResearch, a leading authority on the impact of the Internet and emerging consumer technologies on business, has found that despite mounting interest in global expansion from US online retailers, very few currently have global presences. A new report published by JupiterResearch, “Global Online Retail: Navigating Successful International Expansion,” indicates that the majority of top US retailers do not have a substantial international online presence.

Climate Change Hastens Extinction In Madagascar's Reptiles And Amphibians

New research from the American Museum of Natural History provides the first detailed study showing that global warming forces species to move up tropical mountains as their habitats shift upward. Christopher Raxworthy, Associate Curator in the Department of Herpetology, predicts that at least three species of amphibians and reptiles found in Madagascar's mountainous north could go extinct between 2050 and 2100 because of habitat loss associated with rising global temperatures. These species, currently moving upslope to compensate for habitat loss at lower and warmer altitudes, will eventually have no place to move to.

Endangered Species Up The Risk Of Extinction For Other Species In Ecological Community

An endangered species of flora or fauna ups the risk of the extinction of the other species in its ecological community. Trophically unique species are more vulnerable for cascading extinction, according to studies of a team of theoretical biologists active at Linköping University and the University of Sheffield.
