...that particular environment. Now, in a study published in the July 30 edition of the scientific journal Public Library of Science, Natalia Ospina-Alvarez and Francesc Piferrer have gone a little further in explaining how that mechanism works. In laboratory tests, they have demonstrated that higher water temperatures result in more male fish...
...says Piferrer, the study's co-author. In especially sensitive fish, a greater increase can throw the balance even more out of whack. Ospina-Alvarez and Piferrer have found that in the South American pejerrey, for example, an increase of 4 degrees Celsius can result in a population that is 98% male...
...makes these findings especially troubling, of course, is that the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts that ocean-water temperatures are likely to rise by 1.5 degrees over the course of this century - and they may even go up a few degrees more. "If climate change really does result in a rise of 4 degrees, which is the maximum the IPCC predicts, and if species can't adapt in time or migrate, then in the most sensitive cases of TSD, we're looking at extinction," says Piferrer...
...strong, deeply personal feelings about feminism and civil rights, with candidates whose experiences resonated meaningfully with voters. How does one "get over" that? And when will Barack Obama thoughtfully address gender inequality in a speech, as he has with racism, faith and patriotism?

Though he did not vote for the CPP, Dara, a small business owner in Phnom Penh, said the ruling party's win was a result that even he could live with for now. The electorate...
