Many tropical insects are already close to their heat tolerance limits, raising concerns that rising temperatures could disrupt ecosystems.

Up to half of the insects in the Amazon region could be exposed to life-threatening heat levels due to progressive, anthropogenic global warming. This is shown by a recent study by the universities of ...

Biologists who set out to better understand the effects of climate change on plant species in tropical mountain regions found that even small variations in temperature and moisture can have massive ...

Climate change has caused some tropical plants to flower earlier or later than they used to; in some cases by a matter of ...

Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth's past. Using ...

Tropical cyclones can unleash extensive devastation, as recent storms that swept over Jamaica and the Philippines made unmistakably clear. Accurate weather forecasts that buy more time to prepare are ...

A recent study provides groundbreaking insights into long-term changes in tropical weather patterns that are leading to an increased frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy ...

Bird populations in the tropics have dropped by roughly a third (25-38 percent) since 1980 due to intensifying heat extremes, compared to a world without climate change, with some species having ...

Asst Prof Gianmarco Mengaldo and a team of researchers use advanced reanalysis datasets to analyse the tropical Indo-Pacific region’s evolving weather systems. A recent study published in Nature ...
