Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have found that most coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific may struggle to grow fast enough to keep pace with accelerating sea-level rise. The study found that 76 per cent of the reef sites surveyed do not have the capacity to keep pace with projected sea-level rise under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario, threatening coastal protection and marine habitats.

How are butterflies in the Alps responding to rising temperatures? A University of Würzburg study shows that species with a poor capacity to regulate their body temperature are particularly likely to shift to higher elevations.
