  • Future Medicine examines long COVID across SARS-CoV-2 variants, focusing on variant-specific clinical features, pathogenesis, and implications for treatment. The study highlights that recent variants like Omicron are associated with lower incidence and milder symptoms,
The article from EurekAlert! discusses a study published in the journal *Nature Communications* which explores the impact of climate change on the global distribution of marine species. Researchers from the University of Bristol and other institutions used a combination of fossil records and climate models to predict how marine life might respond to future ocean warming. The study suggests that while some species might adapt to changing conditions, many could face extinction or significant range shifts. Notably, the research highlights that the speed of climate change is critical; rapid changes could outpace species' ability to adapt or migrate, potentially leading to biodiversity loss. The findings underscore the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the adverse effects on marine ecosystems.
