Meet some of the people featured in the November 2019 issue of The Scientist.

Bleaching killed 34 percent of the island’s reefs between 2013 and 2017, a study finds.

Water flows between a dead-looking stump and nearby trees on an alternating schedule.

A decade-long study tallies the numbers of pest-eating, flower-pollinating hoverflies that travel to the UK every year, and illustrates their important ecological roles in southern Britain.

After three years with very few new chicks, the birds are abandoning one of the biggest breeding sites on the continent, satellite images show.

Over 30 years, one-third of the wild bees and hoverfly species surveyed sustained losses, likely due to pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change.

The large-scale experiments aim to test how the technology would fare in the wild, if deployed to knock down populations of the pests.

China’s ongoing Belt and Road Initiative passes through areas that are already at risk of swapping organisms.

Trees are resilient, but researchers wonder if climate change will outpace their adaptations.
