A new NASA study reveals significant global declines in microscopic ocean plant-life, or phytoplankton, which form the base of the marine food chain. This research is the first to analyze long-term phytoplankton community trends using NASA satellite data.

Diatoms, the largest type of phytoplankton, decreased over 1% annually from 1998 to 2012, particularly in the North Pacific, North Indian, and Equatorial Indian oceans. This reduction could impact the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbed and stored in the deep ocean. Dr. Cecile Rousseaux is featured.

Every September, Alaskan wood frogs prepare for winter by crawling into leaf litter and freezing solid. This remarkable survival strategy involves two-thirds of their body water turning to ice,

Every September, Alaskan wood frogs prepare for winter by crawling into leaf litter and freezing solid. This remarkable survival strategy involves two-thirds of their body water turning to ice, causing their hearts to stop beating.

After six months in this frozen state, the frogs thaw out and resume normal activity. For more details, visit: biodiv.us/2vNg0PN
