Secret lives of salamanders
It’s a big night for spotted salamanders. Normally secretive and rarely seen, the salamanders emerge by the hundreds from their underground burrows to gather at breeding ponds at Tyson Research Center, Washington University in St. Louis’ environmental field station. Breeding happens on just a handful of days each spring, after the first warm rains fall.
Yes, allergy seasons are getting worse. Blame climate change.
New research shows that pollen seasons start 20 days earlier, are 10 days longer, and feature 21% more pollen than in 1990.
Researchers found that human-caused climate change played a significant role in pollen season lengthening and a partial role in pollen amount increasing.
