The photosynthesis of tropical species in montane rain forest is very sensitive to high temperature which means high-altitude rain forests are particularly under threat by global warming. This has been shown by researchers from the University of Gothenburg in a study published in the journal New Phytologist. An increase in temperature usually stimulates photosynthesis and growth for plants at our

A tiny insect that lives on snow has revealed an unexpected survival trick: it can generate its own heat to withstand sub-zero temperatures. The finding sheds new light on how life endures in extreme environments. The snow fly – a winter-active crane fly – moves across snow at temperatures between 0 and −7°C. Conditions that would be lethal to most insects instead leave this species active, thanks
