Calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare, benign, tumour‐like lesions that exhibit extensive calcification and fibro‐osseous features. Their pathogenesis remains elusive ...

Seaweeds create a chemical microenvironment at their surface, providing refuge for calcifying organisms that are at risk from decreasing oceanic pH, shows new research. Seaweeds create a chemical ...

March 21 (UPI) --Ocean acidification is making it harder for calcifying marine species to construct their protective outer layers or shells. But new research suggests some organisms have found ...

A new study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC), with colleagues from the British Antarctic Survey, the Institute of Oceanology, the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of ...

Coccolithophores, single-celled calcifying phytoplankton that play a key role in the Earth's climate system, might lose their competitive fitness in a future ocean. In a field experiment investigating ...

Skeleton of the new species, Calciopappus curvus observed under a scanning electron microscope at the Natural History Museum London (UK). Scale bar = 2 μm. A newly described coccolithophore species, ...

Only 170 million years ago, new plankton evolved. Their demand for carbon and calcium permanently transformed the seas as homes for life. Evolution is usually depicted as a consequence of the ...
