Ocean acidification, driven by climate change, degrades the physical complexity of reef habitats, causing small reef fishes to gather in smaller, less protective shoals. This reduction in group size compromises their survival strategies and alters both collective and individual behaviors.

Acidification Ruins Reef Fish Social Lives

Ocean acidification destroys reef complexity, forcing fish into smaller shoals. This loss of social structure threatens their survival and behavior.

Fauna (Organisms 🐞)

The Fauna is the whole of animal life present in a particular region or time. The corresponding terms for plants and fungi are flora and funga, respectively. Flora, fauna, funga and other forms of life are collectively referred to as biota. Zoologists and paleontologists use fauna to refer to a typical collection of animals found in a specific time or place, e.g. the "Sonoran Desert...

Ants hold grudges, study suggests

A team of evolutionary biologists has demonstrated that ants learn from experience. Led by Dr. Volker Nehring, research associate in the Evolutionary Biology and Animal Ecology group at the University of Freiburg, and doctoral student Mélanie Bey, the team repeatedly confronted ants with competitors from another nest. The test ants remembered the negative experiences they had during these encounters.
