According to research, more than 6,150 kilometers of new salmon habitat might be produced by glaciers retreating in the Pacific highlands of western North America by 2100. More than 46,000 glaciers in southern British Columbia and south-central Alaska have been "peeled back the ice" so scientists can see how much potential salmon habitat is produced when the underlying bedrock is revealed and fresh streams flow through the landscape. Researchers revealed that with modest temperature increases, glaciers might disclose potential new Pacific salmon habitat approximately comparable to the length of the Mississippi River (6,275 km).

In terms of energy consumption, the brain consumes more than any other organ, even when its neurons are not exchanging messages known as neurotransmitters with one other. Now, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the packing of neurotransmitters may be the reason for this drain on energy.

As two bio-geoscientists, Jeffrey Dick and Everett Shock have discovered that some hydrothermal seabed settings offer a unique home for particular organisms. This has opened up new possibilities for life in deep waters on Earth and across the solar system; Cellular respiration is the mechanism by which organisms get energy from the food they consume on land by ingesting oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. The chemicals in our food are biologically unstable in the presence of oxygen: this instability that our cells use to grow and reproduce, a process known as biosynthesis. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences has published their findings.

Neuronal mechanisms that enable us to recognize familiar pictures, even if they are blurry, have been studied by NIPS researchers. Rats undertaking a visual orientation discrimination test showed an increase in neurons responding to low-contrast visual stimuli rather than high-contrast visual stimuli after repeated exposures.
