A new study in the journal Current Biology shows climate change is contributing to changes in flower pigmentation.

Clemson University researchers used flower pressings dating back to the 1940s to study how their ultraviolet pigmentation, which is invisible to the human eye but can be captured through UV photography, has changed over time. They found that higher temperatures and ozone depletion correlated with pigment increases and decreases, depending on the species.

Oceans are becoming more stratified, and that could have grave consequences for the health of marine animals and humans alike.

The federal government recently approved a new kind of nuclear reactor that’s smaller, cheaper and could be one the final pieces of the carbon-free puzzle.
