In Mexico, Heat Waves Are Even Killing Younger Adults
It’s not just the elderly. More than three-quarters of heat-related deaths in Mexico occurred among people younger than 35, researchers reported.
The ‘Blob,’ an unprecedented marine heat wave, killed 4 million seabirds
Millions of other animals may have perished too, suggesting the die-off event might be one of the worst in modern times.
Ocean heat wave known as 'The Blob' blamed for killing half the population of bird species
A new study has revealed that a marine heat wave caused a massive die-off of common murres around Alaska between 2014-2016. Biologists say the tuxedo-styled birds dive and swim in the ocean to eat small fish and then fly back to land to nest in large colonies.
Surveys show full scale of massive seabird die-off due to Pacific Ocean heat wave
Murres, a common seabird, look a little like flying penguins. These stout, tuxedo-styled birds dive and swim in the ocean to eat small fish and then fly back to islands or coastal cliffs where they nest in large colonies.
Pacific heat wave led to millions of seabird deaths, study finds
Researchers say the common murre die-off was “the largest documented wildlife mortality event in the modern era.”
Millions of Alaska's seabirds starved to death after intense heat wave
Marine heat waves have halved Alaska’s common murre population. A study links these declines to food shortages.
Surveys show full scale of massive die-off of common murres following the 'warm blob' in the Pacific Ocean
Colony surveys of common murres, an Alaskan seabird, show the full effects of the 2014-16 marine heat wave known as 'the blob.' Analysis of 13 colonies surveyed between 2008 and 2022 finds that colony size in the Gulf of Alaska dropped by half after the marine heat wave.
Single heat wave wiped out millions of Alaska's dominant seabird
The common murre, a large black-and-white seabird native to northern waters, has become far less common in Alaska over the past decade due to climate change.
