Acclimatization

There are real, physiological reasons why the same temperature feels different in April and October

New work reveals a surprising hero in combating altitude sickness

In a study, published July 31 in the journal PLOS ONE, marine biologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and Arizona State University provide a first-of-its-kind glimpse into coral "bleaching" responses to stress, using imaging technology to pinpoint coral survival rates following multiple bleaching events off the island of Maui.

From dark dragonflies becoming paler to plants flowering earlier, some species are slowly evolving with the climate. Evolutionary biologists explain why few ...

Coral reefs in one part of the Pacific Ocean have likely adjusted to higher ocean temperatures which could reduce future bleaching impacts of climate change, new research reveals.

For the Sherpa people, Everest is a sacred place deserving of respect, but its popularity has polluted it. Thankfully, the mountain community and other organizations are restoring it to its former glory.

Hidden beneath the surface of the treasured strawberry is a unique branch of the evolutionary tree, where eight sets of chromosomes are better than two

Climate change is making heat waves worse. Many people have already noticed the difference—and so too have other animals.

As the nights draw in and temperatures drop, it's tempting to abandon outdoor exercise. But as experts reveal, there are ways to beat the freeze and get into even better shape

University of Queensland researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that allows tadpoles in cold environments to mitigate the detrimental effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Global temperatures are rising from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere associated with anthropogenic activities. Global warming includes a warmer shift in mean temperatures as well as increases in the probability of extreme ...

Unprecedented ocean temperatures are triggering mass coral bleaching events across the world. This year, the world's third largest barrier reef, in Florida, is already being hit hard.

Instructing people to avoid heat exposure completely negates their innate and protective ability to acclimate to heat. Such guidance increases the risk of heat-related illness or death if/when they experience unanticipated heat exposure from an AC failure, power outage, or other causes. Thankfully, science-based guidance about the protective benefits of safe acclimation to heat already exists for heat-challenged…

Several Sherpa climbers fell into a deep crevasse while hiking a treacherous section of Mount Everest and are now missing. The crevasse is estimated to be about 160 feet deep.

A new study into how sunscreen affects freshwater ecosystems suggests the impact may be less alarming than first thought—and raises new questions about whether lab-based studies into environmental contaminants are accurately reflecting what happens in the wild.

All animals need energy to live. They use it to breathe, circulate blood, digest food and move. Young animals use energy to grow, and later in life, to reproduce.

Find out all you need to know about climbing Mount Everest, from its geology to the cost of climbing the notorious peak.

Here's what to know about how humans can adapt to rising temperatures, and the ways in which they can't.

There are some difficulties that arise when you start doing the trekking or climbing up the mountains. If you plan to go to Kilimanjaro, the further article will help you
