ACIDIFICATION
In the 1960s, Sudbury's nickel smelters turned Ontario's lakes acidic, and tiny creatures evolved to survive, but when the pollution cleared, something unexpected happenedScientists witnessed evolution in action as a tiny copepod species, Leptodiaptomus minutus, adapted to acidic lakes in Killarney Provincial...- It stands over 100 feet tall, is nearly 200 feet wide at the base, and may be older than many famous monuments; now NOAA believes that this Maug coral may hold clues to the future of reefsScientists discovered an ancient, massive Porites coral colony, estimated to be over 2,000 years old, in the Maug caldera near the Mariana ...
