Study Shows Scientists Agree on Anthropogenic Climate Change
http://www.enn.com —
A comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed articles on the topic of global warming and climate change has revealed an overwhelming consensus among scientists that recent warming is human-caused. The study is the most comprehensive yet and identified 4000 summaries, otherwise known as abstracts, from papers published in the past

Better wheat varieties in the future? Wheat genome shows resistance genes easy to access
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com —
Scientists have developed a physical map of wheat's wild ancestor, Aegilops tauschii, commonly called goatgrass. It's the first huge step toward sequencing the wheat genome -- a complete look at wheat's genetic matter. The work showed among other things, that most resistance genes seem to lie at the ends of chromosomes and can be easily accessed. The findings can lead to breeding of more producti

Earth's center is 1,000 degrees hotter than previously thought, synchrotron X-ray experiment shows
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com —
The temperature near Earth's center is 6,000 degrees Celsius, 1,000 degrees more than given in an experiment 20 years ago. This experiment with synchrotron X-rays confirms geophysical models that explain Earth's magnetic field and the creation and intense activity of hot-spot volcanoes. The scientists also established why the earlier experiment had produced lower temperature figures.

Study shows reproductive effects of pesticide exposure span generations
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com —
Researchers studying aquatic organisms called Daphnia have found that exposure to a chemical pesticide has impacts that span multiple generations -- causing the so-called "water fleas" to produce more male offspring, and causing reproductive problems in female offspring.

Blue tits provide insight into climate change, bird study shows
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com —
Researchers believe that the size of birds’ nests created in response to changing weather patterns may be partly to blame for reproductive failures over the last two years.
