Change in Environment Can Lead to Rapid Evolution
A new study co-authored by Kimberly Hughes (FSU) is giving researchers a glimpse at how organisms evolve in response to rapid environmental change. The findings could have a broad ripple effect on a number of research areas, including climate change and cancer treatment. More >

FSU Researchers Trek to North Pole
Three FSU researchers are part of the scientific team on board a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker that became the first American ship to make a solo trip to the North Pole. The expedition is in support of GEOTRACES, an international effort funded by the National Science Foundation to study the geochemistry of the world's oceans. More >

South Florida An Attractive Home for Invading Reptiles
South Florida is on the front lines in the war against invasive reptiles and amphibians because its warm climate makes it a place where they like to live, a new study shows. Using computer models and data showing where reptiles live in Florida, Ikuko Fujisaki (UF) and colleagues predicted where they could find non-native species in the future. More >

Funding for Climate Change Impacts on Vector-borne Disease
A new 5-year multi-institutional collaborative research grant of $1.85 million funded by NSF's Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases program will support research on the effect of temperature on 13 different diseases that use insects for transmission. Sadie Ryan (UF), Leah Johnson (USF), and Jason Rohr (USF) are three of the investigators on the project. More > |

King Tide Photo Contest
To promote public engagement with the topic of sea-level rise, Florida Atlantic University's Center for Environmental Studies invites the South Florida community to document their personal experience with King Tide October 26th-28th. Winning entries will be posted on Facebook, and the six best photographers will be invited to participate in a Sea-Level Rise Expedition highlighting challenges and solutions in South Florida in relation to sea-level rise.
